Do you ever find yourself doing really stupid things just because you're so sick of your own company?

Hi. I think its normal for us to constantly reach out when we are lonely. I definitely text old boyfriends when I feel down or sad because when I hear back from them, its a pick-me-up. (Even though I really don't want to be with them anymore). I think people like us have to be patient with ourselves and stop seeing lonliness as bad. Maybe we need it right now to sort through our issues. For me - I just want to meet the love of my life. It might help if we had a few of us to email each other when the lonliness gets bad.-

I don't think I'm really lonely as my job alone keeps me busy as is. But there are times when I do miss the companionship. Meaning it'd be nice for a good guy to ask you out for coffee or dinner or something. I sometimes wish I had a bf, but sometimes I don't. I know that may sound a bit crazy, but the past couple of guys I've talked to or dated were looney tune lol. That's why I think I have an invisible sign on my forehead that says freak magnet. Last guy I went on a date with, he automatically started calling me his girlfriend after the first date, he doesn't even know me! I'm not into a fast forward relationship. And then there are times when I don't think most ppl are human anymore lol. But that's just me.

If I do get lonely, I may call up "the old bf" that I used to go out with when I was in high school and we have always kept in touch w/one another even when we split 15 years ago. I'm 29 & e is 28, he's a great guy and love him to death and we always enjoy each other's company, too. But then are times when I really LOVE my independency and freedom, too.
