Any tips on how to be content or satisfied with being alone?Zero. Once I realized nobody really cares about me or values me it became..... easer to be alone.
Oh I wouldn't say I'm content lol. More like... mostly sane. Friends, family, wives, over the last decade I've lost them ALL and now I am truly alone. Just me and my cat. To be totally honest with you I'd say I have "partitioned" my mind. A concept I read about in a fantasy novel many years ago.Any tips on how to be content or satisfied with being alone?
I get that thought a lot, like nobody cares and stuff. Sometimes it doesn't bother me other times those thoughts eat me alive
Sorry to hear you lost all your friends, families etc. I am glad you found a way to partition your mind or at least not become fully aware of your surroundings. I really hope you find some good friends, wives etc (if thats what you want), or just continuing to be able to deal the situation you are in.Oh I wouldn't say I'm content lol.

Day to day, I get by but only a tiny fraction of me is really there. Most of me is in some sort of hibernation, watching at a safe distance. Because if I were to allow myself to become fully "aware" of my surroundings, I'd probably just walk onto the freeway.
Yeah losing friend due to moving around sucks. I miss the days of high school when i had a good group of friends that live near eachother and we see eachother every day/ After that, lost literally 80 percent of my friends, everyone went to their own different universities, colleges, some moved cities and even countries. I can count at least 10 people who i used to talk on a regular basis, that i have not spoken to since high school finished over a decade ago. Pretty sad when i think about itOnly two.
It's the price one pays for moving all around. Hard to maintain genuine relationships. Always on the outside of that circle of friends you meet in that new town. Maybe not that way for everyone who moves around a lot, but to most, it is the way of things. Like the adult equivalent of being in a military family.
Well, it is life for many of us. You get used to it. Though I would be lying if I said I didn't miss it too. Especially the late teens/early 20's, where we would hang out in very large groups, and we all felt like we would be hanging out on the weekends for the rest of our lives.... Time is a thief.Yeah losing friend due to moving around sucks.

I had that with my most recent band. It started in 2009 and played together up until I hurt my shoulder last winter.Do you have any friends you see like once every week or few weeks?
over 40 confirmedZero since such a thing does not exist.
3 is ideal imo. Once it gets more than that it gets too hard to keep up with them all
Yeah story of my life too. I think it happens to most of us as we get olderUse to have pretty large social circles but I've only got maybe 3 true friends these days.
Indeed it does.Yeah story of my life too. I think it happens to most of us as we get older
Also very sad to see so many people with 0 selected. Hope you guys find some good friends soon
