Expectations

[Lonely in BC]

Over the last couple of days I've noticed signs of angst here on ALL. Is this my imagination? Is it often like this or is it something that crops up on the rare occasion? I'm honestly flabbergasted at some of the sniping, cheap shots, and theatrics I've noticed. There is already so much of that in some of our day to day life's, ALL has been a bit of a refuge from that for me. I've found this site to be a place of reflection and interesting queries for the most part. I fully understand that there are those here that are immediately on the defensive as it is part of their coping mechanism when it comes to being questioned on comments or beliefs- I just wonder if there is a bit too much overreaction sometimes? Then again, who am I to judge, I'm aware that my sense of judgement has been somewhat compromised by the last few months of my life.

The couple of weeks I've been on ALL have already benefitted me. I'm seeing that I'm not the only one who feels isolated from the world for whatever reason and I find solace in this. There have been several thought provoking threads that I've followed and I really see a lot of us lonely people pulling for each other- I find it refreshing as my current day to day life seems to lack that.

There are no quick fixes in life, it takes some of us a long time to dig our rut (I know others can do it quicker) and the path out is tougher than getting in. Maybe there is no "fix" for some of us but it's sure nice to find a place that gives that hope without the pressure of family, friends, employers, etc. and their expectations of us.

So that's the rambling of a guy who thinks too much, has limited social interactions, and is desperately trying to change- I really don't want to be who I am right now.

Good night folks.

I’m feeling it a lot too, close to the point where I’m thinking of putting on my coat and walking out the door, I know I’ve been responsible for my actions but this weekend has made me look twice at this forum and have second doubts. I've felt more alone these past two days than usual.

I apologise for those I’ve wronged, time delays and lack of face-to-face emotions can make a lot of trouble but I am emotionally drained and there is only so much that I can kick myself. I'm going to be regretting things I said or reactions I gave for a long time. Feed me to the wolves, I'm ready to go.

Lets blame it on the full moon ok !!!! its been proven that the moon affects people, especialy people with disorders or chemical imbalances. I'm one with chemical imbalances, full moon affects me deeply. I see here that there are alot of people who are bipolar or depressed. Its the full moon that did it i tell you lol !!

Realy i havent been here long, so i do hope this is not a habbit, because i realy like it here and the general respect people have for each other.
