Personally, "loner" was never in my vocabulary (though I sometimes wished it were). Growing up, I don't think I was ever single, and it was to a point where I pretty much had an offer waiting for when I broke up with whoever it was I was seeing - Thinks thats good? - Nope, only now at 23 am I single for the first time and honestly, I love it more than I ever imagined. I am one of those people who will say hi to anyone, talk to anyone, and hang out with anyone. People used to look at me like I was crazy in high school because here I was, in the popular crowd, swim team, coaching pop-warner cheerleading, a dancer on the advanced competition team, blaa blaa blaa. But I never really "liked" the people I was "friends" with. To me, a new student wasn't a dork to be laughed at, it was a chance to meet someone new and show them around, and possibly end up with a new friend. A "nerdy" kid was not someone to trip in the halls, or spit in their lunch. That used to pi$$ me off so much when the a**holes would do that (but back then, when I was young and dating one, and didnt want to tip the high school political scale, what could I do?). I always looked at it this way: So you may not think they are attractive - well Em, there are probably a lot of people who think you are ugly too. Or, so you think what they like is lame - who said what you like is cool?? It's nothing more than opinions, and honestly you can't let other's opinions mold how you perceive others, or situations. First thing is to break away from the "comfy" zone, what you know, what "fits". Just do something that forces you to be extroverted. Travel, experience, meet as many people as you can - never expect to make friends, never expect to get laid, lol, just say "Hey what's up, i'm Mike". Try to see it as that making a friend is nothing more than a bonus to your good time, and if no friends come from your ventures, well - at least the journey rocked right!?! Just don't ever judge someone before you get to know them. People may often surprise you, if you give them the same opportunity you want ( to be a friend).
OK that was your therapy session for now, 100 bucks! LOL
, the ending... LOL!
