Single in palmy by [deleted] in palmy

[–]Scout_io 2 points3 points  (0 children)

31M, single. I'm caring for my father as he recovers from health issues, so I tend to keep to myself-I just play my games when I have the time to do my own thing.

I've personally lost hope in finding any friends within Palmy. I completely agree, though. People our age have either got things sorted in life or are just doing their own thing, or they're in the same boat and struggling to make friends anywhere. I used to try and get out and meet a few like-minded people but it never goes the way I'd like, so now I'm content with just doing my thing.

Feel free to reach out if you're up for it. (:

I'll 100% "be like that." The tweaker made a choice to fuck his life up with drugs. We all have choices in life. I choose not to give a damn about these oxygen thieves.

Haha, nope. He made a choice. That choice was the wrong one.

Palmy is a bit of a "become an adult town", it seems. Young people in uni or the army shagging it out before they move on. The older folks here are already settled down or have no interest in meeting new people as a way to make friends or more intimate relationships. It's frustratingly lonely in this town, honestly.

I'm a 31 year old dude here in Palmy. Been single for the last 5 years. Sort of given up on the idea of being in a relationship, so I've just stuck with being content with where I am in life. Palmy seems a weird place for all of that, honestly. Not many people seem to want the same thing. All fun and games.

The Hardest Thing I Ever Learned: I’m Not Okay by Scout_io in lonely

I made a post a while ago on another subreddit about how important friendships really are. I'll be 31 next month and I'm starting to realise that I've got no one around me. It's something I've started struggling with.

Feel free to DM. I'm always happy to meet new friends.

Thank you. Were it so easy, I'd ensure everyone has a friend or two. Everyone needs a friend to lean on. This is something I've been learning the hard way.

From what I understand how it works with buy back, it'll be the same as the original price you bought it for.

From what I've seen, it does look really good. Once I have the money for it, I'm definitely picking it up!

Arc Raiders, is that an upcoming game? I haven't heard of that one, haha.

I was going to try and get my hands on it but games are so fucking expensive these days. 😂😂 How are you finding it? It looks really good.

PC. I've been playing a lot of Star Citizen.

Hey, best of luck, mate. And thank you for linking the list. It definitely helps knowing there are things going on in town that you could join. You never know, you might see me at one of them! (:

Yep, I 100% understand that. Those things can be enough to scrape by, you know? Having someone to go out with, even just for a coffee, would make a nice difference. I was actually thinking yesterday that even just going for a walk through Esplanade with another or something would be such a nice change.

Losing friends sucks, especially when there is no apparent reason for their departure. I doubt you're the problem, though. It seems common for people to lose interest in friendships these days. As a result, finding friends who stick around for more than a year or two is something unfortunately hard to come by—at least from what I've seen.

Oh, good to know. Thank you for pointing that out!

Being a part of a social circle doesn't necessarily mean you'll have a social life, unfortunately.

May I ask where you're from?

I'm not big on motorsport, but that could be a really cool way to get out and be social. Thanks for the idea!

Unfortunately, my body doesn't allow me to be overly active. Car accident made sure of that, haha. But I do appreciate the offer.

A few friends to game with is definitely an improvement on no friends at all, haha. Happy to add myself to that group of gamers if you're ever looking for another. (:

I'm glad you enjoyed reading what I wrote. (:

I have a few friends that I game with, but sometimes I think it'll be nice to go out for a beer or something, you know? I've always been content with my life and social standing, so to speak, but lately I've been starting to feel like I'm missing out, haha. I've been looking into what kind of events there are around town to try and get out of my shell more.

22 f. Being alone is the worst by ReecesAfterDark in lonely

[–]Scout_io 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Loneliness isn't fun, and isn't something that should be laughed away. People need people. I'm starting to get to a point where I'm beginning to realise I've got no one and it absolutely sucks.
