So, I may be introverted, but I have my limits. Work is something I do with Ro, and nobody else. And not all that much time spent talking/whatever with Ro. Evenings at home, I can see Simon Tue/Thu and the weekend. No real social activity at the gym. The clinic is where I get the bulk of my regular social mileage these days.
gay.com, idle dates, occasional hookups, irc, occassionally zephyr, livejournal, etc, I use as stop gaps. Yet they do not fill the void. Consistent social contact on a reasonable scale is necessary to my sanity. Gotta work on that.
any interest in seeing Sigur Ros at the paramount on April 8th?
Also kind of unreasonably hurt by a small Ro interchange.
Given earlier comments from you, I request more information.
I think I’ve chosen the insanity route. I usually just come home after work, eat my late lunch/early dinner, and then hide in my room, and then fall asleep. Well, I talk to my co-workers. They’re not exactly my peers.
On the weekends, I rarely go out — the most exciting thing is to go to the store. Dates? I can count the ones I’ve had in the past six months on one hand. Sure I chat online, but to me, that’s a little far-fetched as directly social.
well, come do dinner again sometimes, hooker! 😉
It seems so much harder when it’s a deliberate goal. Sometimes I feel lonely and try to set up something regular/weekly with a friend or two, and before I know it I feel my time accounted for and want my freedom back.
