Ugh, I'm 27 years old and all I ever want to do on nights or weekends is STAY HOME. Yet I am always so bored by my life. Is this really weird?
I am very picky about my friends. I am easily disappointed and only get along with certain people. I don't really have *any* casual friendships (because I can't put up with disappointment from others) only close friendships. The thing is that really good friends--the ones you can depend on, who understand you and are forgiving--are hard to find.
The problem with not having casual friendships is that I sit home hanging out alone a great deal of the time. I'm afraid that my youth is slipping away and my chance to have fun going out and being crazy with friends will go with it. Yet I cannot help but take *everything* seriously in my friendships. I don't even know *how* to have a casual friendship.
I'm pretty neurotic and maybe slightly compulsive, so I just don't know how to be laidback and have fun with whoever's around. Furthermore, even though I've lived here for four years now, I just don't have local friends. (Is that really sad?) I had one close friend here but she dropped me. It's a city so I don't even know how to meet people. HELP!!
