I hate this shit. I live in an apartment slightly off a huge campus at a big party school, just graduated and am looking for a job, and I'm bored out of my skull on weekend nights. Why is it always worse on weekend nights?

And I know there's shit out there to do, but I hate doing that kind of shit by myself, and I'm no good at meeting people. I hate going to bars by myself, parties don't seem like an option unless I'm invited (just one of these days...), and lately, like the past several months or so, I can't enjoy doing the kinds of things I used to do alone on weekend nights like play online games while I watch tv or whatever... it's like just doing that shit depresses me because I know what I'm missing out on...out there. And I feel like getting drunk, but I've never gotten drunk by myself and I'm not starting now. It's such a frustrating feeling, like....I just want to have fun, but I forgot how or am too afraid to.

Being a depressed antisocial throughout college really paid off. :-/ I hate me. Maybe i should start a livejournal or something. u guys will read it.......rite?

I'm in your boat, demon. Weekdays, it seems like I constantly want to do stuff. Weekends, nothing is interesting.

Ill red ur LJ dood

 

[btrboyev]

I'm in a similar situation now..but worse as i live in a smaller area.

 

[Mercurial]

Totally understand. I just broke up with my girlfriend, I'm getting almost no hours at work and I'm inbetween courses so at the moment I'm bored out of my mind.

To top it all off most of my friends moved out of the city. I have like 2 local friends at the moment who are probably sick of me constantly trying to do stuff with them.

I also have some crappy personal shit happening which is making it hard to do anything but sit on the computer and listen to music. Haven't touched a videogame in weeks.

*hops in the boat*

Got room for one more?

 

[demon]

Wow, GAF must be Loser Central.

o wait this is the internet...


And what sucks most for me is that, aside from one person...and I don't know what the fuck has been going on with her the past week...I literally know nobody around here. That really makes it fucking hard for me. Shit, I'd give everything I have to go back and restart college. ugh. And dammit, already downed two beers. I'm NOT gonna get drunk tonight.........

Add one more. Similar situation, broke up with girlfriend, don't know alot of people around here. Big ol' college town, but I'm not in classes curently so no dice there. I work a bit, and the people I work with are cool, but yeah.. when I am not at work.. I am here. Posting at GAF and watching TV. Exciting stuff. Let's add depressing lyrics that are appropriate, and make it even more LJ!

(This just has just been going through my head alot is all.)

Drowned On Dry Land

When your world is full of strangers, when your nights are dark and dangerous,
there’s a place where you can hang and just let it go.
When your eyes see only sorrow, and your life seems somehow borrowed,
and those long promised tomorrows never show.

Well, come on down we’re waiting for you;
We got a special evening planned.
We’re gonna push the boat out or you might get drowned on dry land.

When the road looks long and lonely, when the sky is overloaded,
when you feel like you’re the only one in pain.
When your smile gets weak and weary, when you’re weirded out and wary,
and you long to be somewhere they know your name.

Yeah, you can try to take it, try to hide it, or try to fake it.
Yeah, you can try to make a stand.
But some day they will find you shaking, holding up your hands,
saying, "Someone take me back, to some way of living that I understand."
I understand...

When your will to live is choking, when your spirit has been broken,
when the whole damn thing seems token and mundane.
When the blackness all around you crowds you out and hounds you,
picks you up and crowns you "King of the Lame".

So, come on down we’re waiting for you;
We got a special evening planned.
We’re gonna push the boat out or you might get drowned on dry land.

Man's own mind is his greatest prison, indeed.

Man's own mind is his greatest prison, indeed.

So true.

There's sites like www.meetup.com where you can find people in groups with common interests. You can always go back to school and take a class in cooking or film appreciation or whatever. If i had the time, i'd take a martial art. Good way to help get in shape, but more importantly to this thread, build confidence. Aside from these ideas, you could always google up "how to meet people" or whatever to get some ideas. i'm not an extrovert at all, but i don't see what's so hard about going out alone. i know it's not particularly fun, but it's better than staying at home wishing life weren't passing you by.

I want to get out of my vault, no one comes around here, can't do jack to distract myself.

I don't have any interest whatsoever in pretty much anything, and I'm stuck in this sadistic aquarium.

I always made my life as such people would come toward me, but unfortunately, just when I was about to reach my goals, it all fell apart like a playcards castle.

I know, I could scour the Interweb for any human contact, interest, but I just feel that people don't get genuinely interested with me. I do talk with them, but I always feel like a misfit, like I'm not really welcome. I'm tired of writing up shit about myself. Worst is, the only thing that really turns me on is when they do come toward me, as for what I am. Plenty of fishes in the sea, but stuck in an aquarium.

Goddammit.
