Choosing not to hang out with friends????

[LowCarbLife]

I am slowly cultivating relationships with my old friends and making some new ones. I was shoved so far up my last BF's hiney to where I almost lost contact with everyone due to our 'visitation' schedules. I am just thankful that I do have great friends and they have been there for me.

I am still kind of weird and need my alone time right now. I don't want to date because the thought of guys makes me throw up a little (no offense fellas). I just need time. I don't feel like staying out late or getting drunk anymore. I have an early bedtime and 'fun' just doesn't feel the same. I still talk to my friends and go out to eat and what not a little so that's good.

I am actually choosing not to have a strong bond with friends on purpose. I know this is not necessarily the coolest thing in the world. but it just feels right. I just hope I can pull out of this lull and get my booty back on the dancefloor soon :)

Patience grasshopper...in time it will come

I have a strong bond with my friends, but I've never been one to go out often. I maintain/strengthen my friendships mostly through talking with them, on the phone, and in the case of ones I don't live near anymore, online as well. You don't have to go out all the time to have strong friendships. In fact, I would say that some of the people I'm closest to are people I NEVER go out with, we just talk a lot.

I'm not one to go out much either. There was a time, but those days are long over, and now I think I'm a little more set in my ways. But that doesn't necessarily mean you have to push away your friends. You can always talk to them on the phone/internet. Maybe you just need to take a break from things and take some time for yourself, doing what you want to do. I'm just saying, sometimes that helps me regroup. I hope that helps.:)

I've discovered yoga at the age of 26 after 11 years of weight lifting and running. It annoys me to just sit/stand there and stretch because I'm such a hyperactive individual but I feel great afterwards. Back to the original topic, I barely have time for friends anymore. Most of my friends are in college and we all know college students and our financial issues. My best friends in high school are well into their careers and I barely keep in contact with them through online networking sites and text messages. Calling seems to be a bit awkward as no one seems to answer their phones anymore. Alone time is good but having it balanced with cool and new people in my life to add excitement as well as keeping in touch with a few old ones to remind me where I came from seems to work well for now. A relationship right now would seem like an exciting idea but as I told a co-worker earlier I am far too busy with work, school and the pursuit of my acting dream would leave a girlfriend sorely neglected. I hope everyone here continues to find the balance and enjoyment in their personal lives. :p
