Hi,
Recently I've been noticing changes in my group of friends. We're all 25 and some of us are lucky in relationships, others haven't found that person yet... I haven't.
I've noticed that were all drifting, and from speaking to other people, apparently it's kind of normal, as people meet their other halves etc. At the moment, I haven't, and to be honest I don't really have time to make that special person happy either, so I feel although I want to meet someone, it's better if I didn't.
But on weekends, its increasingly hard to find a time to meet up and go for a meal or a beer or so on. I'm angry in a way that it never happens, and that all of a sudden I'm not their priority. I feel used. We've had a period where I've stepped away from the group when I feel angry, and do my own thing. They say they miss me.
What I would like to know is this:-
A) Is it normal to idealise about not needing any friends and being totally self sufficient and happy? I sometimes wish I was totally not in need of social interaction as it is so hard to get a mutually convenient time,
B) If you're single, what do you do on weekends, that can be by yourself? Not a fan of being in a restaurant or bar by myself.
C) How do I remain happy on my own? I always tend to get lonely and miserable really quick? Yet if I have some project on the boil, I feel a blessing when I get my own time.
D) After a crazy week at work, is it normal to not want any contact for a few hours or days?
Thanks.
