There's just too much rubbish going on today.
- I was part of a mistake at work that is going to annoy the customer and cause problems.
- I have been waiting just under 2 wks to find out info about something and still dunno when I'll find out and it's been stressing me out.
- I need to find something to do at work for the next couple of days.
- Our work team and its future is screwed up at the moment.
- I'm feeling kind of sick today.

I wish I knew how to let go of the desire for human connection and support in all its forms. Some people such as myself are just built wrongly and are meant to handle things alone, and especially to not have close friendships. It may seem sad from some perspectives but it's just how it is, and it is ok. Someday it will feel ok too.

You are not built wrongly @TheVorticon - we are all different and want and need different things in life. You can have human connection and want to be on your own at the same time - and neither is wrong or abnormal - some people need to be around people all the time and some like their own space - both are what works best for the individual. You are indeed having some of that human connection on here and that is a good thing - you seek support when you need it also.

That does sound like a hard place to be at present @TheVorticon Here for you though buddy and more than happy to be so if you need to chat - or if you just need to feel that connection.
I was watching an episode of The Big Bang Theory the other night where SHeldon and Amy have their honeymoon at Legoland - I immediately thought of you - you would be like a kid in a candy store visiting there too I suspect

IDK why I'm feeling sad today. I wish it would just go away. I hate sad feelings and its always a challenge not to make it worse.

Some days are just like that @TheVorticon and there seems no reason for it - some days like this one are just days you have to get through buddy - that is what I have found when I can't find a reason that I am feeling sad. Hope you can find some things to make you smile today @TheVorticon

It is great that you are still getting things done @TheVorticon I have had many times having similar feelings and not being able to do anything. Hopefully as the day goes these feelings will pass.
