I am having a really bad day.

skoorbnibor · December 2008

I am just not doing well today. I would like to take a little vacation from everything in my life but Ethan today. Ever feel like that?

I am also noticing a distinct lack of local friends in my life. I have 2 best friends who are wonderful, but one has 4 kids and is never available. The other is also really close with my husband, so it makes confiding in him hard. My sister and I were supposed to get together today, but she bailed on me, and although I have 2 other close friends, one lives in NY and the other in NC. I feel like I have no one to vent to and that really sucks.

Rarely do I feel my IRL shyness affects me, but today I am wishing I was better at making RL friends.

I was going to go out and escape for a bit, but Ethan is asleep and my husband went out. I just feel really alone.

I make myself sound pathetic, and that isn't an accurate portrayal, but i don't know how else to explain.

I don't know, maybe I just need a nap.

You do not sound pathetic at all. You sound like me! :-) We moved to my DH's hometown after we graduated college and got married. I have some friends but they are wives of DH's friends. Everyone else I know lives at least 45 min. away...so it's hard to get together with anyone.

Email me anytime you need to vent! I'd be happy to be your sounding board...sometimes it makes you feel better just to know you have someone...

You don't sound pathetic! You just sound like you need a big hug!! I am sorry you are having a down day...we are all entitled to those. If you ever need to chat, I know we dont know eachother IRL, but I am always here!! )

I know exactly how you feel and I'm sorry you feel that way. I only have two good local friends and they're both newlyweds and teachers, so they're busy with their own lives. And we live at least 30 minutes from them (depending on traffic) so it's an ordeal to get together.

Like you, I somedays wish I was better at making friends, but it's just not in my personality to talk to people.

I hope your day gets better and I'm also hear if you ever need to vent or need a sounding board.

thanks, you guys, it does help to know i am not the only one to feel this way...

I am the same way so I spend most of my time at home. Pretty boring also. You could come to Nebraska and we could hang out and be boring together! Smile

I'm sorry you're having a rough day. I hope things turn around for you and you end your week-end on a high note!

I'm sorry!!!! I am not IRL shy one bit and still don't have that many friends close to me. Even before I moved away from all my friends/family I felt most of my closest friends lived far away.

I'm sorry!

ps your siggy is SOOOO cute!

You don't sound pathetic. My best friends all live out of state and even though I have a few friends here in NJ, I don't really spend much time with them. During the week, they work when I don't and on the weekends they are with their kids.

I noticed that you live in Lansdale. I am in Harleysville. I am not a poster but I do read and learn. I would love a new local friend. My email is:

sending you hugs!

I'm sorry you are having a bad day. I know how you feel as well. I don't have a lot of close girlfriends and am not good at getting close to people. Most of the time I prefer to spend time with my DH or alone, but sometimes you just need to talk. You don't sound pathetic at all.
