Its NOT the same making NEW ADULT friends.

[1Bluerose68]

Everyone seems to be pre-occupied now days with family and children.

The other type of persons are occupied with radical stuff, you know.....

So, then there's ME.

I'm like, "None of the Above".......

It's difficult, I feel, and for ME, to make new Adult friends.

The type whom I can trust even to bring home and visit with me.

So I stay busy working or cleaning house or exercising or shopping for Healthy TV Dinners.

Thats it folks.

My life is work, and work is my life.

If I had no work, I would NOT have a life.

Thanks for the "Pinky Threats" that really made me feel so secure in my middle age life of crisis and stress and surviuval of the fittest mode. Thanks for Nothing.....

Wish me luck.

I must work very hard in life now, until about the age of 70.

Then I hope to GOD I drop dead in my sleep and DO NOT have to deal with my fear of No Social Security or Retiremint Benefits after working since College graduation.

Thats what will happen.

I will worry a lot if I must live to be an Old lady some day?????

And I have No one to love me, as I once had done.....

And I have pride too, and don't ever wish to be somebody's , "Charity Case."

I can kind of relate, if you would consider being an adult with no adult friends relatable.
I have a little family. But I spend 97% of my time talking to a four year old about angry birds and play doh. So........ yeah.
Despite the fact that there are probably a couple hundred mothers of young children close to my age in this area, apparently I'm "THAT" mom. Who knows what "that" is, I could fit into several categories, but I must be on some list somewhere, because no-one wants to be my friend.
I know I'm mildly psychotic and neurotic at my best. But I'm not like the, sleep-with-your-husband-then-murder-you-in-your-sleep kind of psychotic. I'm more like the, I won't try your food or use your bathroom or allow you in my house during the first 12 hours of the day kind of psychotic. I mean, that's still pretty likable right?

Good friends are hard to come by regardless of who you are. Especially if you don't know how much of yourself to share with them. But conquering the fear of being alone, may or may not take some pressure off of the universe to fill that void.
Maybe.

I used to have many friends myself, until these health issues arose without warning.
Now, I have a girlfriend. My only (1) real friend outside of family.
I have become disabled as of now 28 months ago, and have no ability to work. Work was my life as well, for 30 straight years. I loved my job, and miss it dearly too.
Since then, I have been fighting for what is rightfully mine. Social Security Disability. This fight, continues, on and on...
It will get better someday though, because I have hope. Hope, is all that I really have left anyway besides a bag full of pills, a couple trucks, a couple cars, and my 3 kids too. That's it.
I may be also guilty of beating myself up from time to time, I was just never used to not being in control. I am learning that now however.
Much of what takes place in this world, is beyond our own control. Learning to accept that, is the toughest challenge of all.
Forget the past, live for this day, have hope for the future Blue!
It will get better, if we strive to make it better.

E-Man :)
