Dude, that is rough. What the hell were our parents thinking, not socializing us properly?
I have some of the same issues. I would definitely try craigslist. Even if you don't find anyone right away that you connect with, you could get used to reaching out and talking to people. That first response you send is the most frightening part, and after that it gets easier. You could put out an ad yourself. It's really not degrading, haha. There are more people out there looking for friends than you think.
You could try finding a club in Tucson that you could go to ever week. Some sort of volunteering maybe. These things will get you around people who like the same things you do. Good luck dude. If I were in town I'd hang out with you! :D
that's a really good idea, I'm gonna try craigslist and see what other kinds of wallflowers are out there. and maybe tucson has a homebrew club or something I could look into... or start an oracle chapter, haha. thank you a bunch for responding to my craziness, it helps me feel a little less nuts haha =)
You're not crazy at all! I remember thinking when I was a kid that when I was all grown up I would be confident and have amazing conversational powers. But it just doesn't work like that haha. Good luck with the homebrew club!
Where do you live? I have no freakin' idea. I didn't even know you and Sunday were kaput until reading this. Dropping my facebook account has left me in the dust as far as keeping up with stuff, and I barely log onton lj, though I really am trying to do this more (I don't know WHY, I just AM).
Either way, I live in Tucson. And, as the queen of England might say, "HEEELLLLLLO!"
I actually live in a little dinky town like 20 miles north called Oracle, so I don't really get too far into tucson very often. mostly oro valley area and northwest tucson. what area are you living in?
facebook is pretty much a necessary evil these days, haha. but at least with lj I have a place to vent without totally freaking everyone out... because there are only 5 people who actually still use it I think.
so, uh, you wanna hang out sometime or something?? =)
