Welcome back, Dubya.
I'm glad I read your post, sad as it made me, because I think you touched some nerves just about everyone can relate to.
You're not a peanut brain, babe, not with your insight--but what can I tell you? I've never met you in person, I've no idea why people avoid you (or why you think they do.) I liked Kazoo's advice, it was probably his most intelligent post I've read in the short time I've been visiting PB.
Please go see your psych. volunteer work. ride a bike. you got $$? take a trip. (as a depressed person myself, i *hate* it when people tell me those things--"get a hobby" blah blah--nah, just do what you like, it really prally will make you feel better). You like coffee and have a nice car? Drive out to New Orleans and try the coffee there, it's good, I'm tellin ya.
at night when i feel sad i open a bottle of wine and sit out on the porch with my portable stereo and sing to joan baez. the wine part ain't healthy, but it never fails to make me feel better. sing.
one of my favorite writers, Charles Bukowski, died in 1994. his tombstone says "DON'T TRY." i believe in that--don't try, don't think too much, just let it happen.
i am big on books, you know which one is good? The Tao Te Ching. If you're more into humor you might pick up the Tao of Winnie the Pooh. i bring this up because people tell you you try too hard.
you are not the only 20 year-old without a girlfriend or weekend plans, i guarantee that.
smoke some weed, smoke some weed indeed.
& keep posting.
love,
sar
