I fear I am gonna end up just like them. Don't get me wrong, they are nice people and pretty much the only family I talk to often.... but they are just so depressed with their lives and always bored.
Mom... she used to be alot funner, I remember so much as a kid, but then the last 10 years or so, she just started sitting around. daily... just watching tv or playing games on the computer. She does not have actual conversations with people anymore, I talk to her but its usually about the dogs or whatever she is watching. She is hard to really talk to about things that are important to me. She has seemingly chosen tv and computer as more important than us.
Grandma... now that she is retired, she just sits home all day with her dogs. I call her daily, just to keep her company. Usually we repeat the same chats but hey, she is nearing 80.... and she is just so sad. She never goes anywhere or does anything. Even her kids, other than my mom, don't talk to her except on Christmas. She has become a true "crazy dog lady" and has several dogs, dresses them all up in PJs every night and sweaters in the day etc... just a sad lonely person.
Now...Its taken me so long to realize I have SA issues and clearly they do, so I probably get it from them. My worry is that I am gonna be just like them, locked in a world of tv or computers and dressing my dogs.... now I don't have any real friends these days, I have people I talk to here and there but no one I call a friend. I don't get on with most my family and I have trust issues. I have never had a BF... or even a date! I currently live with my mom/dad/brothers and dogs. Am I doomed? Anyway to avoid this... I like my alone time and all but I don't wanna be older and miserable and sad.
