Hello all. So let me give you the brief on me. I graduated from a small university in 98, then I went directly on to grad school, not because I wanted to stay in academia, because I went to school for psychology, and if any of you have this degree you know you can't do anything without a higher degree. So I got my Masters Degree in Community Counseling from a large university, moving to a town where I didn't know a soul. I completed my program last year, the whole time thinking I was making friends, but now that I am out I am back to square one. I am looking for a new job at this time that is in my field instead of in social work, which is what I am currently doing.
Reading this book really helped me to see I am not alone, which before I came about it I thought I was going crazy! I wish there were some sort of support groups for people like me who would so benefit from talking to others about my issues. I think people who are not going thru this think I am going looney and I just need to live my life. But its hard. I want to meet people, but yet I don't do anything to meet new people, I actually don't know how. It use to come so easily for me, and now its work and I have to think of organizations to join to make friends, but I want to do it without having to pay for it!
I am also 'trying' to meet men, however the way I have been trying this lately is thru the internet, as I just don't have other ways to do it. I feel like its my turn to meet "Mr. Good enough" as all of my friends are engaged right now. They don't understand as they are happy with their fiance's, while I sit and wait for 'the one' to come my way. I try to be patient, but its running out fast.
Anyway, I thank you for "listening" to me and if you have any advice, please provide it.
