Will be heading to the casino tomorrow, along with all the other degenerates and losers. This excursion will be much more fun than sitting around the dinner table having trite and meaningless conversations, as people laugh a contrived laugh and wear a smile to mask their complete indifference. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1447583 Being alone isn't so bad, OP. Cheer up, Kiddo. Well I can't say I agree with the casino, unless you're just going to be around people and do something different...but IDK I HATE casinos lol! But you're 100% right. Being alone isn't so bad at all. For a long time, it sucked really REALLY bad for me! But now, I honestly don't mind it. I don't know what happened, but I thank my lucky stars that it doesn't consume me anymore like it once did! Seriously, if you can learn how to live your life on your own, which I think is one of the hardest things to do, you can literally do anything. You'll be carved out of stone and there won't be anything you can't deal with. Well, almost anything... It really comes down to re-adjusting your mind to being completely comfortable as a person--alone, and coming to terms with how imperfect other people are, and how they will most always let you down in some way or another. I'm not being negative, just realistic. If you can truly come to realize this...that you shouldn't expect too much from others (and you can be truly happy without anyone) then your life will change in ways you can't even imagine. In fact, your relationships with others will likely become better, stronger, and more "real" too. People are social creatures, so I'm not advocating becoming a hermit. For me, it's just a shame that people have to think they have some kind of shortcoming because they're spending a "holiday" along. Pfft big deal! Seriously, it's the same thing as penis enlargement pills or breast enlargement pills or hair coloring...people will always find things for you to feel insecure about. Don't let them! You're amazing just the way you are! Good luck! |

ParallaxPam User ID: 15366249 United States 11/21/2012 07:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Alone here. widowed in 2010. Estranged from my family due to my mother being crazy and my siblings taking her side. Daughter is 19 and has her own life with her boyfriend. All friends abandoned me after I became widow due to them thinking Widowhood was a catching disease? Whatever. I have my two Papillon dogs who have given me more joy than any other human on this planet. I much prefer to be alone actually. If we are all going out I would much rather go out with no "loose ties to tie up" you know? So, all is well. I can eat and drink whatever the fuck I want tomorrow and watch the parade and football without someone giving me a hard time about it or having to cater to anyone else. All is good. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 7394555 United States 11/21/2012 08:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I am, and thanks OP. I hope you have a nice relaxing holiday <3 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 19520489 I work a bullshit retail job at night (8pm Thanksgiving eve opener) in addition to a daytime job. I yearn to be with my family, in fact I want nothing more for this holiday. Longtime BF invited his parents over for dinner, because mine are 4+ hours away and I do not have the means or the hours available to travel and visit for the day . He gives me 1 day notice to shop and clean. As I was scrubbing the floors today and cleaning up, I asked him if he was going to help out. He immediately realized he couldn't handle the pressure of cleaning + preparing a nice meal and being a good dinner host. Online games and TV shows are too important. Proceeds to tell me I am a bitch because I ask for a little assistance with some housework that I, myself did not make plans for. He says he doesn't care if our apartment is a mess and it does not matter if I prepare anything for dinner. Calls his parents, tells them Thanksgiving is off because his GF (me) is too unstable to handle it. In my honest opinion, if you are inviting someone over for a meaningful experience such as Thanksgiving, you should be prepared to help out, instead of criticize the one who will be doing the majority of the work. All in all, this is a bullshit holiday excuse for corporate to make their paycheck off of your hard work. If you get this day off as a paid holiday, and do not need the hours to make ends meet, then good for you. If not, I am pulling for you, you and I are what makes this country run smoothly. Happy holidays everyone I don't feel bad for you at all. You deserve your situation. There are so many guys that would LOVE to have an opportunity to have someone to help out, and have a sense of camaraderie with. But you dumb bitches, and the choices you make in men are absolutely ridiculous. The nicest, most intelligent guys I know, are also the loneliest guys I know. Never forget, you are a "victim" of your own decisions and choices. Enjoy! |
