Hello!

[tnkrbellepixie]

Today marks the first day of my new Journal. I have many friends who have done this and I was also curious about it but never voiced my opinion. Habit of mine. This also comes at a good time in my life right now so I can post everything that is bothering me or on my mind. This feels like an upgraded version of the many diaries that I started as

Glad to be your first

Well, first of most all people feel a little lonely in a crowd, and as for the old friend that has been mistreating another of your friends, you where beinga true friend in supporting your mistreated friend.

You are such a special gal that touches people in so many ways and especially their hearts, you can never truely be alone. You are always in their hearts somwhere.

As for ant percieved faults you think you have, in the fact that you are facing them and worried about how well you do your job it is obvious that you are making attempts to fix any problems.

I hope you dont feel alone again.

Your work environment is team-based. The trick is to realize where your strengths are and play towards them. The management will then realign the team to best utilize their folks. For example, I don't think I was any good at any administrative tasks so I focused on the computer aspect. Kept me happily working for a number of years!

As far as non-circle friends go, I make a point to occasionally sit "outside" my circle. It's nice to get exposure to other opinions and ideas, even if I don't necessarily agree with them. I feel it makes me more patient and understanding, traits that can go a long way.

I agree with GG! YOu need to find your nitch of what you excel in. Then even if you don't feel you fit with the people, you at least fit in what you're doing. As for feeling alone in a crowd, many people have felt that way, myself included. I don't have any advice to offer, except to hang on, because friends will eventually come back, or new ones will surface. You will not be alone forever. Also sometimes I know I need to be more pro-active about hanging out with people. Sometimes there are people who would like to spend time with me that I don't even notice, because I'm trying to spend time with those who do not have time for me. I'm not saying that's your case, but maybe something to think about! Hang in there girl!

Thanks!

Thank you guys so much for the thoughts. It does mean a lot to me when I have friends who do care about what I think and wont make fun of me all of the time. Hehe that sounded so High School, which reminds me, that is EXACTLY how I felt when I walked into that auditorium! Strange....maybe it is me. Anyways, thank you for caring! ::hugs::

Yeah! Sometimes it's hard to do the right thing especially when we're feeling lonely. I think you'll find people who share your interests and morals, and people who won't judge you and will like you for who you are. It just might take some time and patience (something which I'm constantly working on...see my 10/1/04 post).
