Not Coping

[ArraDreaming]

Hmm, is it fair to say he led you on do you think? Maybe his thoughts changed

What do you mean? @ArraDreaming

@Birdofparadise8 that is so cool! Did you get to take photos? Definitely something to remember.

I hope you're feeling better now too. 

I had another long day, seems like Thursday is our busiest day.

The weather has turned really bad too, I'm glad I have an SUV, otherwise I might have drowned in some of the puddles!

How's your night been sweetie? 💐💙

[Birdofparadise8]

No I didn't get to take a photo with any players @ENKELI 

At least the busy day makes it go fast. I hope it was a better day with that colleague gone now. 

Um, no, not really. I'm just trying to make it through the night if you see my post since we spoke earlier.

Horses for courses. When I was at Uni, I had Uni friends to hangout with.

When I worked, I had work friends to hangout with.

It’s been 15 years since then, I can’t get a job anywhere and everyone around me is 10-20 years older than me.

I’m struggling to find my people.

Yeah, sounds familiar @Glisten
I don’t have many social links outside my household, my wife’s friends/their partners and here, trying to make more mates though

[Birdofparadise8]

I’m a bit confused are you trying to relate to me with how my friend left me?
I’m happy you like horses and had uni and work friends.

i feel you about trying to get a job though i have been trying for the past seven to eight months to get a job.

@Glisten I hear you my friend. I have one friend who I've known most of my life but she is quite social and has other friends she goes out with so I don't get to spend a lot of time with her. 

I wouldn't consider my workmates friends as they're 20 years younger than me and are interested in different things.

I have no idea how to make friends, especially when I'm self conscious about how I look, with my front teeth all chipped and broken. 

I'd like to have a best friend again.

Hope you're staying safe out of the wild weather we're having. I thought I was going to aquaplane on the way home from work 😲

@Birdofparadise8 I'm so sorry your friend did that to you.

Unfortunately through life people will disappoint us. I have been in the same situation and it's painful. 

You will get through it my princess, you will heal but right now I know it hurts. I wish people treated us better. 

A psych once said to me that we'd never treat our neighbours they way we treat those we supposedly love and it's so true.

Just be kind to yourself and tell yourself that you are not to blame. It really isn't you.

Sending you huge hugs and love 🫂 🤗 💙

[Birdofparadise8]

Thank you @ENKELI 

I really appreciate you saying that. 

I'm confused with what your psych said. Sorry. 

"we'd never treat our neighbours the way we treat those we supposedly love and it's so true"

What if we like both our neighbours and friends? I might be missing what you mean.

He said it wasn't my fault lol. I'm like well sure. Thanks for saying you care about me, but clearly, you don't because you wouldn't do this to me and especially the night before my exam no less.

I told him, "Yeah, okay, it's fine, don't worry about it." Then, I said, "I hope you enjoy the rest of your internship this year. Thank you for the good times we did have. Bye"

And no reply. He has looked at it, and that's it. 

I don't understand why I try to make friends everywhere, and it never goes my way. All through school, it was the same.
