some idiot died, so my regular boss couldn't be at work, the more stable one, because he went to that family member's funeral. (family member by marriage, so it doesn't even count as family, which means i'm not really being insensitive.) so i had to be around the boss i can't stand. luckily, the day went well, but i wasn't in the mood to even be around that person.

Im moving away from this city, cant wait actually. I was attacked by some stranger who jumped us from the shadows- it happened so fast and the guy took off right away that no one knows even what he looked like. I have a chunk of skin missing from where he hit me with some object. I probably needed stitches. On my birthday one of my good "friends" freaked out on me and told me to go to hell, and he and a group of my friends were going to a show that night so I spent my birthday alone. As I age I recognize how hard it is to make good friends these days, and Im hoping that a change of environment would lend to me finding good friends. I was talking with a friend and we were discussing the difference between a good person and a good friend. Sometimes not so great people make good friends and good people make for awful friends. To me a friend is someone that answers the phone when you call, or calls you back if they miss your call. They concern themselves with involving you in their lives and activities, and make plans etc... I dont have a lot of these type of people in my life right now. My illness has sort of regulated me to befriending the people that would take me- and it shows in how they treat me. So, that part of my life is ending.
The rest of things are going pretty well- just the friend zone sucks, and being attacked did too.

is it friends that you want or are you just feeling lonely? because if you feel lonely, maybe you aren't gonna draw any friends to you because you'll rely on them too much to fill a void? plus, most people, i'm assuming, really only have a few REALLY GOOD friends. you don't need that many anyway, just a few good ones.

heh, yeah. I actually don't have that many close friends in real life. Just a handful. And even them I hardly ever see. I get most of my social activity online! But I do have some good online friends  |

Yeah, sometimes dysfunction becomes a way of life and becomes "normal"...it's sad...
If you can find any way to try and insulate yourself and/or avoid it, I'd try and do that - while simultaneously looking for ways to move out.
As far as being single goes...lots of ways to meet worthwhile people. Service opportunities, jobs, church, community organizations or clubs....a lot of single guys out there looking for gals too, ya know.

do you think the age difference has something to do with it?

i think that's the case with a lot of people. many people never really out-grow a lot of their immaturities. They just age and life circumstances happen upon them, and then they deal with them poorly because they refuse to learn.
