How is your social life?

19 Comments

I would like to know what your social life is like. Who all do you hang out with? How many friends do you have? What are their names, how old are they, and what are their personalities like? What do you do for fun? How long have you known each other? Are you married? Do you have kids? Do you work? Attend School? Are you happy with the way things are right now?

Life is a balancing act when you get older, so how well do you pull it off? What kind of wisdom can you impart to a often struggling young mind? Please feel free to discuss or talk about it in the comments. Thank you.

I guess I have an "unhealthy social life". I haven't seen most of my friends for years and I tend to avoid people as much as possible. I talk to my friends rarely and I have more of a "social life" online. It's just easier. The ages of my friends are a bit varied. A few are younger than me, less than five are around my age and most of them are older than me.

Their personalities are hard to say. I've never become close enough with any of them to experience what they are like most of the time.... I'm not with anyone and I'm going to college soon. I can't say I'm really happy with this. On one hand, I miss seeing my friends and interacting with them on a personal level, but on the other, I'd rather be left alone...

  "I have more of a "social life" online."
  
  I am the same way. The internet is where I have come to rely on being able to "socialize." I think that it is not completely healthy, the way I have become. I wasn't always like this though. When I was younger, I had plenty of friends and I would call up and hang out with them pretty regularly. When and why did my life change so much I wonder sometimes... I haven't even talked to my nearest friend in probably a month. That is an issue of it's own though. People change.

    Same here. When I was younger, I was very social and I was constantly making new friends. I would see some of my friends somewhat frequently on the weekend. Then, it somehow changed when I got older... When, I first hit my teens, that was probably when I started to have a harder time with my peers. By my mid-teens, I would only see my friends during the summer and it was much harder to make friends. Now, I'm in my late teens and it's worse. I don't know why it happened, but now I'm shy and I tend to avoid people.

I moved and don't have much of a social life. Only when people visit do I hang out with people. There are some people at work who I like but I'm only part time so I rarely see them and I don't drive/ have my own car so it seems pointless. I'm not going to school right now so I can't meet people that way. I really don't know what to do with myself!! =..(

  I know how you feel. I have moved a few times, and meeting new people can be difficult.

I hate the online tests that try to determine if you have a healthy or unhealthy social life. According to most of them, in order to have a healthy social life I would have to get totally wasted at least once a week and spend most of my life talking to other people.

In that case, I'm happy to have a very unhealthy social life. :D

  Lol. Rest assured I was not referring to online tests with my poll. I wouldn't think they would be accurate either. I was just curious about how other people on here socialize.
  
  Glad you have a "unhealthy" social life ;)

Just moved to a new city, so yeah, room for improvement. It takes time to build meaningful friendships.

  Yes it does. I do hope you meet some new people soon though, and best of luck to your future friendships.

I had to rebuild my social life once my son was old enough to be left for the evening with his dad, without getting distressed. I usually pick up the 'charity cases' as my husband calls them, women who have loads of problems. It's coz I listen to them that they latch on to me. There's very little I haven't heard and very little surprises me any more.

I'm female but prefer male company as I like to laugh rather than talk about other people. I am perfectly content with my life, and have achieved everything that I ever set my mind to. I am a strict parent when it matters - manners and homework, not if late for dinner etc.

As the years have went on I have learned not to stress over trivial nonsense,
"Nothing matters much, and very little matters at all."

If people don't make you laugh, dump them quickly!

Don't allow people to dump all their shit on you, for you to deal with - or you won't have the time or energy to deal with your own problems.

Get your education and don't be in a hurry to have children!!

  Thank you for sharing that with me joybird. You are a very special person for being there for those people that need you. Not a whole lot of people have that type of sincerity about them. I hope your husband realizes what a great woman he has.
  
  I will try to take that quote into consideration, and I definitely don't want to hang out with people who don't ever make me laugh. As for people dumping their problems on me, I will have to work on that one some. I do have my own problems, and I tend to keep them bottled up inside which really isn't good I know. I'm definitely not in a hurry to have children either, lol.
  
  Again, thank you for the advice too. You always give good advice, and I like seeing your comments on here.
