PhuturePriest Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) Subjects on my mind today: Ferguson, Missouri; coffee; school starting soon for my kids; my daughter going through Sacraments this year; wishing my husband would go to RCIA; my blog stats; creating posts for my blog; doctor appointments. What would you like to talk about? I'm having an existential crisis because I'm alone and I don't have any meaningful or significant friendships, and the people I try to have them with either aren't interested or are too busy, and I'm stuck in an endless glass box of emotion and isolation.

Been there... Still there. Eh, as the years pass you learn to just live and love yourself. Alone. Do you have acquaintances? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancilla Domini Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I'm having an existential crisis because I'm alone and I don't have any meaningful or significant friendships, and the people I try to have them with either aren't interested or are too busy, and I'm stuck in an endless glass box of emotion and isolation. I know how you feel. My best friend lives 550 miles away from me. =( I don't have any good friends near me, at all. At least I have a significant/meaningful friendship, though - must be hard for you, not having anyone. :unsure: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're just busy, and they don't seem to take much interest in the fact that I'm alone and need to talk to them more often than once every few weeks.

PhuturePriest Posted August 15, 2014 Author Share Posted August 15, 2014 The appearance was over long ago. Now we are all convinced. I made a song called Prolonged Eye Contact. I performed it live in front of a hundred people, and they thought it was absolutely hysterical. So not only am I a creeper, but the general public is supporting me in my creeper exploits.

Lil Red Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I'm having an existential crisis because I'm alone and I don't have any meaningful or significant friendships, and the people I try to have them with either aren't interested or are too busy, and I'm stuck in an endless glass box of emotion and isolation. perhaps other people are not not interested (did that make sense?), but simply they have too much stuff going on themselves to form a deeper relationship with you at this time. sometimes I feel like I'm neglecting my friends, and then I remember that friendships ebb and flow, and just because I'm distant now doesn't mean I won't want to deepen friendships at a later date.

It's summer break and they literally have nothing going on. They're just hanging out with each other every day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Credo in Deum Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 (edited) I'm having an existential crisis because I'm alone and I don't have any meaningful or significant friendships, and the people I try to have them with either aren't interested or are too busy, and I'm stuck in an endless glass box of emotion and isolation. Stop and think for a bit. It sounds like you have done your part in trying to make these friendships happen, however, despite your efforts nothing has happened. Maybe God is trying to invite you to offer this to Him, as a means of detachment? Maybe God is asking you to work through your emotional barriers and to search for your peace in Him, not in human relationships? Also you feel called to the priesthood and I'm sure this issue is one many priests deal with. Maybe God is preparing you for this?

dUSt Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 As you grow older you'll realize that most friendships are a waste of time. You only end up with like one or two really good friends in the end. I prefer the kind of friends that only call me when they need something, and expect the same from me.

OnlySunshine Posted August 15, 2014 Share Posted August 15, 2014 I'm a loner, too. That's because I'm introverted. I get used to it but there are sometimes where I just want to be with family or friends. I'm so caught up in schoolwork most of the time, I don't have time to have a social life outside of school or Church. Now that I'm adding work on top of that, it's about to get even more crazy.

Everyone hates that when it happens to them. Why does it still happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
