Topic: valentine day | |
---|---|
It's a day like my birthday and new year's and christmas where I get to feel crap about myself and the fact that I am single and lonely, with my life just passing me by. It's the world rubbing it in that nobody really cares about me apart from my family, as if I didn't already know that and needed to be reminded of that fact. It depresses the hell out of me. Something you may like, that I used to do was to invite all my single friends over for "Orphan's Thanksgiving." It was for everyone that didn't have family in the area to spend time with during the holiday. I'd cook a good meal, serve wine and we'd all have a fun. Much better than feeling lonely. |

If I'm single when Valentines Day happens, I curse everything about it. . It's true though. If I'm with someone when it comes around, I totally love it and get all giddy. Like I said, I'm weird.

It's the world rubbing it in that nobody really cares about me apart from my family, as if I didn't already know that and needed to be reminded of that fact. It depresses the hell out of me. I am sorry to hear that Tawt. Myself; I don't see it like that. My thoughts are that I am damn lucky to have my health, a job, family; etc. There are those that are so poor that they can't eat, have no homes, no jobs, or even family or friends to lean on. Or how about those suffering from a terminal illness? My life is far from perfect but; I know things could be a heck of a lot worse. You are in my thoughts Tawt. Thanks. I really wish that I didn't feel that way about it but life has dealt me some pretty heavy blows and I have ended up stuck in a situation where I am extremely isolated with only my family and strangers on the internet to talk to. I did actually have a good christmas this year because I had met someone from this site. For once I didn't feel alone and I was looking forward to this being a happy new year for me at last. I was happy for a short while and I felt like a normal person, rather than just a pathetic loser with no life. That didn't work out though. Yeah, I have my family but that makes it worse in a way because I don't want to be a grown adult that still has to depend on his parents and only has them to celebrate his birthday with. I find that humiliating but I don't know what to do about it. I don't expect you or anyone else to really understand why I feel this way without giving you more personal information about myself but that is how I feel and I am stuck in a rut that I don't know how to get out of. |

I think I'll go play some anti valentines songs. 'I am an anarchist' by Sex Pistols is always a good one. .

To me it is just one of those weird American celebrations that i do not get...like Halloween and Thanksgiving. Still i bought a box of chocolate to my wife... "If you are in Rome..." lol None of those days are just celebrated in America. Canada has a Thanksgiving, too. Several other countries celebrate both Valentine's day and Halloween. |

Why let your life just pass you by because you're single? You don't have to be in a relationship to enjoy life. |

Hi Tawt, I can't say I know what you are going through but I can say I also have dealt with some heavy blows in life; including me giving up a career that I loved more than life itself. Just a thought but have you thought of joining a club or two to get out and meet people? I see Edinburgh has a few social clubs out there and you never know whoever you will meet. MyseIf; I joined a few clubs like the Astronomy club, coffee club, cycling club, hiking club, costume club, etc. I apologize if I have crossed the line and have upset you as my intent was not to make you feel worse but to try and find some joy in life. |

That's just the way I am and you saying that I don't need a girlfriend isn't going to make it so. |

Sorry to be such a downer. I should probably just stop posting here. |

Valentine's day is abs0lutely nothing to me... Receive chocolates every valentines day but feeling empty as it is not from the person I love. I have a friend of mine that has sent me two Roses for the last two years on Valentine's day as he hates that I am alone and forgotten on Valentine's day. Although its not necessary; I think its sweet that he does this for me and I certainly wouldn't feel empty just because it wasn't a lover that sent me the Roses. |
