accept that feeling as a part of the regular cycle of your life. you will shift in and out of feeling this way repeatedly. just don't get too caught up in it. find something to DO all on your own and even if you meet people in doing it, it will still be something self-initiating. there's a book that relates to a lot of the normal life-issues you're discussing here. it's called "Intimacy and Solitude: Balancing Closeness and Independence." i found it interesting but i really like that psychology and sociology stuff.
Sounds like an interesting book. I'll look into it. This isn't a particularly new feeling. I've dealt with it a few times. I'm just not sure how I want to go about dealing with it now. Usually, I could just throw myself back into classes.... education having always been a big part of who I am, but now I don't have that... so I'm floundering a bit. Things are getting better and all will eventually be well, I know.
