I'm lonely.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

and this makes me sad. That will be all...

[GOPisEvil]

1. Hi Maggie!

:hi:

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

6. hi David

:)

[GOPisEvil]

9. I'm feeling kinda lonely too.

Plus the weather stinks - rainy and gross. Oh well. Great time to wash clothes. :-(

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

10. i don't know what is with me

just bummed out

[greatauntoftriplets]

11. Maggie, please talk to your mother...or your doctor.

This is wrong for a young woman like you. I have many reasons to be sad, but I am not. Please talk to someone qualified to help you.

[GOPisEvil]

14. I go through periods like this too.

Just don't feel like being around people, or being social. I blame being a Gemini. ;-)

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

15. yeah

;) good excuse

[GOPisEvil]

16. Oh well, I'm going to brunch with some DUers tomorrow.

Gotta put on the game face. :-)

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

19. heh

i'm just kinda sick of my current location and am fully realizing i have another year or so until that changes

[GOPisEvil]

21. You too, huh?

I like my location, but I'd like a different job. Relocation is not outta the question either, but it's tough...

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

23. yeah

just need a little change of scenery, been hanging out here for 16 years.

[GOPisEvil]

26. Well, it's virtually guaranteed soon, right?

A year and a half until college, right? :-)

Having to be patient sucks sometimes.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

34. yeah

i can't wait

[bearfan454]

22. Velma has a hello for you tomorrow.

Hello !

[GOPisEvil]

24. I'm ready for the Mexican food!

:9

[liberalhistorian]

25. Hi David!

:hi: Hey, don't feel bad, ya got all of the rest of us who don't have a life on Saturday nights, either, lol!

[GOPisEvil]

29. lol...yeah, but you'll be having a life soon, right?

Ooops...sorry...

[Southsideirish]

2. Is it just tonight or always?

No friends? I went through a period like that once when all my girlfriends either moved away or got married. Boy, that was a real miserable time.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

5. i have friends

but that's not really the problem.

[chimpymustgo]

3. But we're going to have a FABULOUS party tonight

right here at DU.

Come as you are! Lots of friendly, interesting folk. Be there or be square.

4. Lonely

I read this thing about lonliness - to paraphrase, Lonliness is something WE can contol. We can't sit home waiting for the phone or doorbell to ring. Only We can overcome it.
We gotta get OUT THERE. I don't mean bars etc.
Clubs, walking, coffee shops, vlunteering, callin' old friends.

I once started to go to Singles Dances (not bars). It was tough at first but when I realized they weren't pick-up joints, and I persisted, soon I found a clique. We'd BBQ together, go to cottages for the weekends. Romances did blossom, but that was only incidental.


No shame in saying you're lonely, like probably about 3 billion people on this planet.

Luck!

49. I notice a disturbing anti-bar bias to your post

just what flag is that in your box?

[silverlib]

7. Don't be lonely

There are a bunch of us here and we don't want you to be lonely.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

[populistmom]

17. My 2 year old son loves you

It's the Blue sig pic, but he's still a cutie nonetheless. :)

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

20. aw

:)

[liberalhistorian]

27. Hey, Maggie, I may

have just turned 39 but I very much remember what it's like at your age. You have all of us here and we love you! This, too, shall pass, believe me.

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

28. thanks lh

:)

[Don_G]

30. Me Too

I miss Corarose when she was only forty when I was only fifty.

I can say a whole lot more, but she took the time and effort to make me more comfortable with Chicago when an "Asshole" ran in front of my rental car and yelled "pedestrian" instead of me comparing a 2-ton car and supplemental insurance to his 200 lb ass ignorance....

[LastKnight]

31. me too...

but what else is new... such are the obscure teenage years

-LK

[LincolnMcGrath]

32. Hey You LPFF

lots of them on DU. (and we are all :evilgrin: evil :evilgrin: libs)

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

33. hehe

:)

[Kamika]

35. Repeat after me (edited in some stuff to read)

I'm good enough, smart enough, and doggone it, people like me!


edit: I'm gonna be totally serious now. Please ENJOY your teens!! I'm 21 and I feel like an old lady and I really really wish I would have enjoyed it more instead of trying to be a grown up.. trust me nothing's more sad then being 21 and still acting like I'm 17 :p

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

38. LMAO!

:D love that sketch.

[Astarho]

36. The good thing: Everything changes

The bad thing: Everything changes

I understand how you feel, and I remember the loneliness of being 16. Now I'm 26 and many of the people I know have gotten married and some even have their first kids, while I haven't had a girlfriend in mmph years. Plus heading into Suck-month, err February, isn't easy either.

But seeing the relationship between two coworkers breaking up makes me think, maybe being alone isn't that bad after all. ;)

[Zomby Woof]

52. oh ok then!

Since I am getting chocolate for Katy AND your Mom, I'll get you some too, so your February sucks less.

What's that you say? You'd rather have the new Gollum action figure?

Suck-month it is! :P

[jus_the_facts]

37. Well ya know I feel the opposite....

....and wish I could be alone more often...sorry Maggie!x( :pals:

[Lizz612]

39. 16 is hard

Hormones, high school, social drama; its a lot of crap. Its one of those times that people only remember the good parts of. (kinda like the 50's) But it gets better, I promise, I was there two years ago.
I stopped struggling against my parents, I know they have my safety in mind. And I stopped caring so much what the people said, and payed more attention to real friends (that sound so clichéd, but thats only half of it).
We are all here for you.
:hug:

[soleft]

40. Sixteen, junior year, that was a tough year for me

I was madly in crush with a friend who only liked me as a friend. But senior year was fun and so was college. Many great, great times and experiences ahead for you.

AND YOU STILL HAVE TO SEE BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM!!

[LeftPeopleFinishFirst]

46. Turn your lonelyness into

solitude, where you can explore your innerself or read or do whatever. And be take advantage of it, when you get older and into the world, it is harder to find solitude.

[PVnRT]
