OK, right now, I'm feeling a little confused, lonely, and frustrated.

Today is my birthday, and, frankly, it would be nice not to have to spend it alone. But I really don't have any other options, so alone I spend it.

Generally, the whole "being alone" thing doesn't bother me all that much -- I'm getting used to it, and, if it starts to bother me, I just think back about how truly horrendous all of my past relationships were. The "don't want to relive THAT mess" philosophy keeps me going some days.

But on a day like this, I can't help but think it would be nice to have someone in my life. I was in a pretty serious car accident in Feb. of 2009, after which all of my real life "friends" just vanished, leaving me to put the pieces of myself back together. I have no family, so there was no one to turn to.

And there still isn't. And there are times it gets discouraging.

I would have partied like a Rock Star with ya if you had lived close enough.

It IS nice to have someone in your life. Someone who cares if you made it home thru a snowstorm. I mean my children care, I have tons of friends who care, but a relationship is all on it's own.

Know we ARE here for you my friend flowerforyou

I do this online because I want to make friends, Ive made tons of friends on this site.


I gave up looking for a mate on here... Its been like 2 years, and I havent met anyone close that I wanted ever.


But if it were that I was still open to dating... I would say I am here because it is convienent, and cheaper to meet a man here and besides that I dont go out alot... and walking up to a man in a library or grocery store is horrifying.


Here, there is a comfort zone.

I'd like to know why one should let it all out... How would that really help anyone to express your true feelings to strangers?

How can this help you to be "healthy" ?

Even your closest friends can betray you on a bad day...

Unless you're in a running for some popularity contest, which I'm not, I don't see the point because you're more than likely to going to get some ersatz advice or insincere sympathy at best, or kicked in the head (because you admit you're down) for your trouble...

This is my true feelings on this particular matter...

Signed,

PS. By the way, I didn't steal Christmas or have wicked thoughts about Cindy Lou Who...

It's all a lie...

Thanks so much but I'm not having a particularly hard time. I'm just stating my true feelings on this topic.

I, myself have made the mistake of both seeking advice and understanding online. Looking for answers from without, not always stopping to realize that all life's important answers come from within.

I'm just not sure about the notion that it's always healthy to express what you're feeling.


Hey Miss Ruth, love the new pics...

Thanks. I keep remembering the last one, the one I really believed WAS "the one" -- and I suppose I believed it because I wanted to believe it, because I've known her practically forever, because there was a sense that this time she had finally figured out what she really wanted and who she really wanted to be with....

And I find myself wondering if it's even possible to find someone who doesn't need to be "rescued" from the sheer horror of her life, from her inner demons, from a baggage-laden history that would be enough to pull down a 747....wondering if there's someone out there who even comprehends the idea of a relationship based on something other than "taking advantage," something other than deception and emotional and mental instability.

Truthfully I feel stupid. Recently realized I'm so afraid of hurting anyone else's feelings that I don't make wise choices for myself and also depressed to realize that I lack the social skills dating requires and I wonder why I don't laugh as easily as so many others, I just don't get the humor in the rudeness, stupidity and vulgarity that permeates our society and entertainment options today. Remember when the audience was given enough credit for our mental capacity that every joke wasn't followed up by an explanation?


I so much agree with you. What is funny today really is pathetic. Nothing is new, just the same old crap re-written for the next suckers to get a chuckle. Where is the creativity that actually involves brain function instead of a knee jerk giggle at a fart joke?

I don't think you are stupid...you are very intelligent. I highly doubt you lack any social skills required for dating. It might be it's the guys you date who are lacking. Don't be afraid to say no to people...that comes from wisdom. Saying no is not mean either but it is a good way to protect yourself from making the same choices over and over again. Just be yourself and the right man for you will come into your life.

Anxious: A new chapter in my life is beginning, and I am ready for it.

Pondering: What the future is going to hold for me. I have a plan, but all of us know that plans change, or rather they become edited due to life events.

Worried: Because I am looked up to by some people (friends and family) and I want to always do the best I can. To me, being a quiet role model is important. I want to leave my mark ya know.

Loved: I have a great support system of family and friends. Nothing beats my family. I may tire of them at times, but when life gets tough, they are always there. Same can be said about my true friends (you know who you are). Goof knows who he can count on.

Accomplished: While I am still accomplishing things, I know that I have also accomplished many other tasks. The choices I have made that have lead me to this point? I wouldn't change a thing. I am 37 and I have a bright future. That always makes me smile.

At Peace: For the first time...in a long time...I am at peace with myself. I know the answers to what I want in life. What I want in a mate. What I want to do with my life. How I want to be remembered. I figured that since so many things interest me, it was high time I just went and did them. And this makes me feel at peace. I no longer think about having to do this or that RIGHT NOW. Things take time, and you have to plan. I'm not rushing anything.

Thank you. I've always been myself, the trouble has been that I've always been a giver and never felt worthy of doing any recieving. Makes it really easy for guys to take advantage of me, or worse, take me for granted. The plan is to think more of myself and expect more out of my next relationship.
