I know this may sound a little bohemeian but try to take the time and force yourself to take a look at things from a new perspective. I know it sounds silly but my mother had us in York SC for a summer and she didn’t believe in TV or air conditioning. I spent a lot just walking places to do something.
Maybe find a place to volunteer or go to a neighbors house and ask if they need help doing any chores. Something to pass the time.
When I got divorced the begining was really lonely. I did the wrong thing and went drinking for about a year. That was the wrong thing to do.
Take the challenge to try look at something you see everyday differently. Take a bucket load of pictures of random stuff or try and write something. You are almost out the other side but the simplicity you are forced to have now can be a blessing upon reflection in the future.
go to a club. even if you arent 21 yet theres probaly plenty of 18+ or 21 under just go find some girls to bang, im sure got some kinda place where theres a lot of people.
I feel for you, I’ve culled the herd of people I hang out with a lot the last 2 years. Really though, I realized that there were a lot of things about the people I hung out with I didn’t like. So recently I’ve been feeling the same thing you are, I don’t necesarilly miss any particular person, I just miss people.
My uni finished 4/5 weeks ago. yet im still living on campus. i was supposed to be working manual labour here all summer and getting lots of money. just sticking my head down and grinding it out for 3 months so i didnt have to work during term time.
but its not really working out so im heading back to my home town. i do also have a week trip to belgium for a festival planned. should be fun.
but for the last 5 weeks the only contact ive had with my friends, is one visit to the cinema. thats it. ive had a few text messages and 3 phone calls. ive talked to my family twice. ive been super isolated.
as some of the poster above have said. its like prison. the rest of the time ive been in the company of adults working, i generally dont talk much just get in, get the job done and get home. ive been lifting nearly every day and getting my diet in check. for the first week i was bummed out like i assume you are now.
but then i thought i may aswell use it to do something. i did afterall sign up this volunterily. so ive gotten my diet in order, ive read a pile of books ive been meaning to read, ive watched a load of films ive been meaning to watch, ive emailed old friends and found out how there doing. basically ive used the last 4 weeks to get my life sorted out.
im sure you have some hobby youve always wanted to persue, or something youve always to do/make/try.
If I remember correctly, you were in the exact same situation last summer, living at home and working at the bank. What did you do then?
If it was boredom last summer, then do the opposite this summer and make it better. As mentioned, getting outdoors and doing stuff is always good. Maybe do some stuff with your parents. If there is a bookstore in your town, go there a couple of times a week and read books, in addition to the e-books you are reading. Learn a new hobby. Do something that interests you.
As for steady female companionship, I had that up until about a month ago. The girl I have been dating for 2 years and I are currently taking a break and the fact that she is also 3 hours away makes the situation even more stressful.
I actually discussed leaving here early to take a class second summer session with my dad last night so I may be able to get out of here more quickly than I thought I was going to.
