One, noone ever invites me anywhere anyway, and two, everything I love doing is an indoor activity. xD I moved away from the town I grew up in, so I don't see my friends there anymore, and I'm either too busy or tired to visit anyone else. True, true! I'd rather save and put myself in a stable financial situation tbh. I mean, I wouldn't want a significant other in my life until I can somehow support myself AND them.

Whenever I go out with friends anyway, they're always talking about kids or family or life goals, and like I can get into that. :/ Here I am talking about what I did at work last week and they're going on about being married or whatnot. I just can't connect with that. I feel like a social recluse, really, but there isn't much I can do about it. The online world is my oyster. :p

Maybe. But I asked my friend (he's called Mitch) at the VERY BEGINNING of February if he wanted to hang out, cause he moved to a new place and I haven't really seen in yet, and play Guitar Hero Live, and he comes back to me with "Oh, sorry, but I've pretty much got February booked out". .-. Uh, like what? That's a WHOLE month you can't see me because why? I mean I'm sure he's not busy EVERY day, and only if it's for a coffee catchup or something I'd be cool with that. I really don't like people that do that. I figure if someone wants to catch up, they're make time for it. I'm obviously not a priority anymore. ;n; and I haven't heard from him since. Thing is, I considered him a good friend, too. So I bought him both a birthday AND Christmas present last year while I received nothing. Don't get me wrong, I don't want some super-expensive awesome gift. I just wanted a card, and maybe a visit or something, but NOPE. I didn't even get that. That makes me sad, when you think you matter to a person and they don't even show it. Sorry, I ranted. n.n;; Thank you, Eric.
Don't worry about it Gem. Sometimes you gotta get rants out. Yeah, the work is mostly in the day, but it's something they've had plans to do since before I was even born (sometime in the 80s I believe). Now, I'm 25 and they just started sometime last year =3. Yeah I'm not a super outdoors kinda person myself. More of an indoor recluse Though some places have really good sights (mountains I've been on and beaches around here are nice...unless flooded with jellyfish and stingray). Even saving up goes so far though. Especially with bills and all. Being able to have enough financial stability to provide for a family is quite expensive today.

That sucks. If you do go out with them again then try changing it up a bit. Whenever I do hang out with my friends here (both are engaged and living with each other, yet they still find time to hang out with me occasionally). They don't sit there and talk about their own future or talk of having kids. The only time they do is when my other friend (the one in the Navy) brings it up and talks about how many girls he's been with. They've all got at least an experience while I sit back and just get to listen xD. Oh well I usually ignore it all when they do. Though tuning in a little helps learn a few things lol.

I can understand if a friend tells you they already "have plans," but when completely ignored later on it's kind of frustrating yeah. I mean it can be just as easy to forget, don't get me wrong. I mean who knows? Maybe business took them out of town or country? The only two friends in town I hang out with go out of town on a daily basis now and never respond to me right away xD. Yeah it's the little things that really count. It doesn't have to be anything super expensive, but it would've been nice if they had at least given something back in return. It's happened on a few occasions here, but not too often. Mostly they would explain why by saying they didn't have enough money at the time so they couldn't get anything. That's something I can understand and it's perfectly fine.

Again don't worry about the rant. It's easy to get a bit carried away when talking about stuff. So rant away if need be! It's a discussion thread for stuff like this.
