Oh I'm feeling called out here

But yes I struggle with this a lot. And it doesn't matter what the other person says to reassure me either - they're just being polite or don't want to hurt my feelings with the truth of indifference.

Therapy this year taught me to look for hard evidence whenever I start to feel like this instead of just overthinking and spiralling as usual and it has helped a little bit

Do you have cheer up routines or tricks? I've got a few DVDs that always distract me from my current feelings and give me a break.

LOTR extended edition. Works every time.
Or music or games.
Or just arsing around on here.

And I kind of hijacked Wriggles post and made it about myself which was rude.

But yes if anyone else feels like this, what helps?

I don't over-think other people's opinions but assume that if I send them a text etc and they don't reply for a while then either A They were in the middle of something important and forgot or B they can't be bothered to reply.
I do have a couple of ex-close friends who only get in touch when they want something from me. That's why they are now ex-close. In other cases I have friends I don't hear from in ages and when we do hook up there's no guilt attached.

LOTR is a good choice. It's the 1995 version of Pride & Prejudice with scrummy Colin Firth and gorgeous Jennifer Ehle. The Martian or Lucy are distracting too

I have "friends" like that. Always around when they need something and always busy when I do.

And yeah my oldest friends and I barely get to see each other once a year but we all just pick up where we left off every time.

Oh yes Colin Firth fresh out of the lake

Morning everyone.

I'm a little under the weather today so I'm headed to my sofa burrito for a little while to try to rest up.

Hopefully I'll pick up later so I can go for a hobble along the village. The day is looking beautiful and I don't want to waste it

Hope you are feeling better soon Rosie. I have been on antibiotics since Monday. Those little pills have saved me.

Sending hugs all the way over to you from here.

It's a little more overcast today here but I don't mind too much.

You are always bored

When I get bored I tend to make silly decisions

They say only boring people get bored.
I get bored when I have to do stuff I don't want to do.

 

[Biggalute]

Morning all, have a great Friday!

Getting bored is a sign of high intelligence. You can quote me on that

OK! Done.

 

[Wriggle]

Getting bored is a sign of high intelligence. You can quote me on that

IQ between 130 and 135 on regular testing and I can always find something to do or entertain, so boredom is a foreign concept usually.
It's when I've completed my days work by 11.11am and my mind says "what next?" And I decide to take my underwear off at work and then find I can't do anything about my friskiness - that's when I think "well that was a bit silly"

 

[RosewoodTulip]

Exciting news!

I've just signed up for an online computer drivers license course.

I've been out of work forever for various reasons so hopefully this will lead to me finding something good
