My head has been in a weird place the last two or three days. I've realized that, quite frankly, I'm a bit lonely.
The problem with this is that the self-aware, happy with himself kind of person is supposed to reject that. The thinking is that if you're truly well adjusted, you don't need other people to be happy. I agree with that too. But just because you're lonely doesn't mean you aren't happy with yourself either. Ignoring that feeling I think only makes it worse.
Things I don't currently like about myself are my inability to follow through on projects, and I'm not doing the work to exercise as much as I want, but aside from that, things are pretty cool. The lonely feeling relates more to some of the setbacks than the actual state of not being with someone. Dating has been a horrible experience for the most part. I'm meeting plenty of women, and the problem isn't that no one is interested, but rather those that are don't interest me. I guess I've learned to be picky, some stupid decisions not withstanding.
I'm sure I'll work it out, I just let my head wander a little too much.
I might get to do something really cool, a lot sooner than I expected, this weekend though. ;)
Curious to know why you equate being happy with yourself to not needing to be with someone/people.
I'm moderately happy with myself, and I love my alone time more than I probably should, but some times you just need to talk to someone other than your dogs and cats (in my case...and I have 3 dogs and 3 cats).
