Lonely bank holiday

[Addictedtotheredbutton]

Separated for just over a year and just coming to realise how lonely single life can be. I haven’t spoken to another adult bar shop assistants/waiters all weekend, I’ve got nothing to do and nobody to do it with - none of my friends are local and all are busy anyway. I’ve got my lovely DD here and have made an effort to do things with her - bbq, walk in the park, dinner out etc - but she’s got a friend over now and would like me to make myself scarce I think.

Sat here crying at the waste of a beautiful day with no work tomorrow, feel so sad 😢

You're not at all, OP. I've cleaned the car but live in a close so no passing traffic as it were. I chatted to a neighbour for less than five minutes before she scuttled off. Humans are naturally sociable creatures. I love nothing more than a good book, but I'd like to be able to balance the solitary times with good company too.

Alibongo hit it on the head. I'm quite happy with my own company most of the time, but sometimes the coupledom of everyone else around me can really bring me down. I'm struggling with various health issues too at the moment so not much energy for anything other than work which pisses me off and my house is a tip & that adds to the negativity!

I known exactly how you feel I am stay in because going out feels worse surrounded by couples and families - eveyone seems to have their own life and this has gone on for years it's OK people saying make plans but when there is noone or they don't want to it's heartbreaking and then when you do eventually see someone you aren't yourself and feel like you drag the most down unless you have been there it's hard to understand however devastating loneliness is

Same here! I always feel a little down on Bank holidays. I’ve got to work hard to get a social life and other than family I’ve spent it alone. No invites for all day drinking or anything. I’ve just cleaned the toilet 😊

ZOMBIE THREAD!!!
