I feel so alone
by jklmn, Jun 04, 2007 12:00AM
Hello everyone,
Just wanted to share my feelings with you guys..
I am feeling so lonely lately. I work full time and have a very successful professional life, but that hardly leaves me time for my personal adult life. . I come home from work and spend every night and weekend with my son (whom I adore) or my parents. I don’t have time to date or hang out with my friends. Everyone has abandoned me because of it. I feel like my life is passing me by so fast and I am on the sideline watching helplessly.
In addition to not having much time for my friends, I also am known for having a short temper. I think I push people away way too fast without ever giving them another chance.... hence me being single at 30. I feel like I have so much anger built up inside of me that I just cant help it sometime. I often feel like, if I don’t stand my ground then it will be a sign of weakness and I wont have it any other way. I become extremely angry, my heart start to race fast, and I cant think straight. I lost the love of my life and my best friend because of this attitude. I am well aware of this problem and I know that it is a huge flaw in my personality, but no matter how hard I try to control myself, I just cant help it.
I don’t blame people for not wanting to have anything to do with me, but at the end of the day I feel so alone.
Does anyone have any advise for ?

BEST WISHES!!!!
You need to change your lifestyle & "understand" that work is not everything in life. We do work a lot & we work more when we're successful but we forget that we need time to enjoy our success rather than using all our time to become MORE successful.
In my opinion, work very hard in finding a hobby that involves you getting out of the house. commit to that hobby & that could be a great way to meet new people to your life.
if you like your hobby, you'll dedicate time for it & obviously it will mean that you'll commit to seeing your new freinds in your new hobby & may be one day that time you'll spend doing your hobby will be the highlight of the day to you.
Remember, a hobby means relaxing & NOT talking about work with others you meet in your hobby, it means that you talk about useless staff like news, weather, fashion, etc.... but NOT work.
if you stick to that rule, you'll have a lot of friends around you & you'll never be alone again.
I done that myself & realised that most likely people that are in gym, tennis court, even having coffee at a cafe are more likely to be freindly & willing to know new friends.
cheers,
