can_anyone_relate_to_this remaining anonymous for now i sometimes feel like the only person that feels this way. does anyone feel this way just a little? i think i'm a total homebody, and it's bugging me. i'm not just talking about blather. and i've felt this way even before i got a computer. i meet so many interesting, friendly people, but they disappear in and out of my life so quickly. i think these people are my friends, kindred spirits, but the next i know, they are gone. people say i am outgoing, sociable, an extrovert, a party mingler. i don't see it that way. i'm so different. i never go out for girl's night. even if i didn't have a boyfriend, i probably wouldn't. i don't understand. when i call people, they never return my call, or they have no time for me. being a grownup sucks sometime. maybe that's why people have husbends and children because at our age, that's the only people that have time in their busy schedules for us. i talk all day on the phone at work. as soon as i get home, i hate to call anyone. i get phone phobia. how could that be when i am comfortable talking with my clients at work. it's weird. i have a friend and former co-worker who i became very close with. she never has any time for e-mailing or calling. i hate to lose her friendship. she says she doesn't e-mail anymore. i hate using the phone. i'm going to snail_ mail her. i doubt anyone else can relate to this but just thought i would ask. 040309 ... poison cherry i personally can't relate to that but i am coming to the conclusion that everyone feels alone in the world, and that that feeling is the same world over. i'm trying to figure out where to go from there *shrugs* sorry 040309 ... the creater of this blathe suddenly i feel a little less alone, knowing that other people feel alone. why can't be all be alone together? 040309 ... p2 i'm also a homebody but not like you write cuz i'm always up for a ladies night you_are_not_alone 040309 ... the creater why don't i enjoy ladies_night anymore? do you have a boyfriend p2 ? do you think people get like this when they are in a long term relationship? 040309 ... p2 actually i agree with poison cherry in that most people feel alone so much so that an easy pick up line is: "i can tell by looking at you that most people think you are a happy person with a lot of friends but the truth is you feel very alone inside" ps- i am a hetero[hyper]sexual male 040309 ... Couldnt Resist don't press his red button! warp nine.nine and counting Scotty. 040309 ... p2 i am a homebody though but i'm fine with it 040309 ... p2 "button"? ouch there goes my male ego 040309 ... p2 and i'm in a long term relationship but i was a homebody before that too 040309 ... p2 and i understand about phone-phobia with clients there is a set objective with friends there's nothing really to say i'm not much of a conversationalist i prefer writing to speaking and emails to phone calls 040309 ... the creater feel better now thank you p2, you just made my day! it doesn't matter that we haven't gone thru the exact same experiences. we both know the feeling. and many more people that i would judge on the outside don't feel alone, actually are. honestly, i don't feel lonely. i just feel WEIRD. by the way, i was laughing my ass off over the fact that you are a guy. i took the "lady's night out" thing to mean that you are one. LOL! 040309 ... p2 good and goodbye (i'm leaving work now) 040309 what's it to you? who go blather from
