Depressed?
- Thread starter Justintime
- Start date
+1, except -salsa +swing
And this:
"Hobby" sounds like such a lame word but in truth - what do you want to be able to say when people ask what it is you do, what makes you tick, what do you do for fun?
It might be you're massively career-driven, and that's cool, but clearly that alone isn't making you tick at the moment...
Aside:
Yes. Or latin/ballroom. Or leroc/ceroc (modern jive). Or tango (VERY sexy). Or blues (comfortable-sexy). Loads of all of these available in London... you can basically choose which music you'd like to dance to!Do you think she'd find it quite romantic for me to take her to a salsa class with me at some occassion?
Only if she's up for a threesome!
Like people have said, life is what you make of it. There's stuff to do and people to meet if you are looking in the right places.
Think about the interests you have and look at what's available in your area like clubs or classes. The web can be a great place to start but in the end you've got to bite the bullet and try new things, even if it's on your own at first.

WTF leave my mum out of this ok.....
P.S
She would kick my ass if she read this luckily she cant read
Would just like to point something out after a quick skim and mainly seeing the following -
'Get out there and enjoy yourself' etc.
It's incredibly hard for people who really are truly suffering from depression to do so sometimes.
Confidence plays a huge factor, and if you lack it then it's very very hard to get back, especially if you are alone. It's a struggle to talk to new people, get out of the house etc if you lack confidence.
Talking to old people is often hard enough, let alone new ones.

Backpacking on your own?
I'd say join a club, mountain climbing, Football, Rugby, Hiking, Rowing etc.

Mate, Im 31 and still single, got a good job, have my own house, got a car. Life can suck when you are on your own... but then I have no one to blame but myself.
Get yourself on the old internet dating sites and pester some people up on there for a laugh! You never know what you might find.

As said many times in this thread before, find a diversion to keep your mind off things. It might sound like a very unattractive idea at the moment because you probably lack motivation, but you really do have to push yourself, just get yourself out there and do something.
Good luck.

Fox is no loser! He is a man with a 5 Series! Everyone knows they rule! 
Talking from experience?
Absolutely. I'm socially retarded and even I managed, so anyone with half normal social skills can manage it. The minute you stop wallowing in self pity and crying about now being able to find a girl is the minute you'll find it all just drops into place.
Well.. knowing GD i'll probably get flamed or told to man up etc..{QUOTE]
MAN UP DUDE
Jezuz Haych Christ of all things hairy buddy ....
As a soon to be student of Psychology at University here in very blurry Edinburgh, can I just ask for one favour from you? When I'm doing my studies and need to do a case study at any time ... Can I call on you for your help
I mean you're on here posting about how you're not a bad looking 27 year old with a decent car and job but you're now wondering if you're depressed or not because you're not in a relationship?
Maybe you've answered your own question here by saying that you're extremely shyThat or you just need to go out and get laid dude
I'm a forty three year old student who has been through some very tough times (I might still be pished but I'm not kidding when I say that they were very very tough indeed). I'm going through a bankruptcy thingymahjig at the moment, I've moved back in with my ex (but not in that way .... I just needed a roof over my head) and I haven't worked for nearly two years because of what has happened to me
Get yourself a woman (jeez, you could pay for someone to just hold you at night whilst your folks are away on holiday
Buckle up man and get with the program dude!
Life IS too short
