No matter where i am o'r if i am with another person i feel lonely. If anything being with another person reminds me how socially inept i am and i end up feeling even more lonely, wishing for the time to end and for me to be back in my room where i dwell on being lonely again. I simply cannot escape this terrible perpetual loneliness.
My workmate and my boss are both 'Jack the lad' types, always ogling women whenever we are out on a job, bragging about women flirting with them etc. This type of talk makes me feel uncomfortable i suppose because i've been brought up to respect women and not as playthings. I would hate to hear men saying such things about my sister, mother, o'r girlfriend if i had one. I feel self conscious whenever they comment on how attractive a woman is that they will think i am gay o'r something for not sharing their 'enthusiasm'. I am attracted to women but i don't see them as mere sex objects.
Something which keeps me away from people is my poor conversational skills. I can't remember the last time i held a flowing conversation, for instance i will comment on something like the weather and then the other person responds and it dies. Then i begin to feel panic at being so quiet so i get worse, and i will say something which comes out sounding stupid which i then worry makes me appear a fool. This morning i was travelling to a job with my boss and i felt i could die from the uncomfortable silence which lasted for most of the half hour journey.
There's a festival on here starting tonight and i think i must be the only person not going. I just can't bear the thought of being seen alone by people i know.
I don't know what to think other than wherether i go i am present in body but not in mind. I feel i am not contributing anything to society and that i am not a worthwile person, o'r a memorable person. My friend texts me from time to time saying that she misses me and that she would like to see me. How can a person miss a boring, worthless piece of sh#t like me?
