Hi.
Maybe this is a silly question.... But I just don't understand myself sometimes. I don't really have friends - only 'acquaintances'. I think this is because I usually put work and security before social life.
But on the odd occasion I do get invited out, I always find excuses not to go. And I really can't explain why I do this, because I don't actually have a life outside of work.
Am I a hermit? I prefer to stay in alone - even though I can feel the loneliness - and read or watch a movie, than going out to get drunk or whatever.....
Why do I do this? Am I being a martyr or am I just being sensible. Should I accept an invite to a night out which I know I won't enjoy (I.e nightclub) just to be more sociable? Or is it better to stay in and go to bed with a book and pretend I'm not lonely?
