**I'm on my own at Christmas thread**

Life could be worse, you could be justintime. He's dead old compared to you & is putting fat on but denying it & claiming its muscle in effect. What a waster he is eh? (personally I think he has a grey jumper & bulges out like Ian Beale) Just kiddin Justin. (in case you're bigger than me). keep smiling both of you;)
 
I'm alone. Placement in Canada and all he ones I'm living with have gone home. Been Skyping he parents though so not totally alone. No Christmas dinner for me though. :(
 
Hey it hasn't come along yet, but that's no reason to be negative :)

Thought a quick edit was in order to dogs female companions. Seen the pic of one of the dons on here MarlonB style?? Well scary!!! Nearly bowed down in honour & fled the building!

Merry xmas also RKO/Jonty & all the rest that keep appearing lol :)

I was on my own too :) My mum had gone to live with relatives for the holidays and I chose not to go. Got up at just after 10 this morning, opened a tin of Stella and whacked on Elf for some Christmas hilarity. Wee spot of lunch, drink and started on season 2 of Scrubs.

Had a normal diner then fired up X3: Terran Conflict to keep me busy. Had plans to watch Dr. Who but I missed it :( cheers for that X3 !.

I now lie here in bed with a sore head after passing through the drunk phase earlier ... all in all I had a good day :p

I guess you just have to make the best of it fella. If I could make one suggestion, it would be to find something to keep you busy and happy, like games, TV, movies, exercise or what ever you're into. Don't dwell on what you don't have and enjoy what you do have.

Likewise, although I'm soon losing the ability to type so hey ;)

Could have guessed you were a realistic Scot without seeing it in your location :)


Life's good, but it's not always great. And certain mainstays of public life demand great, although it's not always possible, for all in this thread I hope you get what you need :)
 
I would basically swap everything I own for a nice girl to share everything with. Been dreaming of it for about 4-5 years now, hasn't happened yet!

Well it wont do if you're sat on a forum feeling sorry for yourself... make a list of things you want to achieve (no girls allowed), and plan your way to each.
 
What do you want to do in life?

Find out what your ideal life would be and get there in little steps.

That's what I'm doing and it's working. Now all I need is a fit girl friend, that is a tough one
 
Try being 28, living home with parents, no girlfriend anymore, no real mates anymore hate your job, gained a little weight (not fat, yet!).. feeling you're stuck and just found out an accident that was not your fault in March cost you 3 years no claims.. and your insurance went up 400 quid... I am not a well man.:(

:(
 
Celebrated Christmas by myself, but have had an allright time though. Went to my local pub yesterday and had a blast, had steak for dinner tonight and now playing some X3. I usually go home for christmas and it's nothing but stress so it's nice to relax for once ;).
 
I walked into this thread to try cheer the OP up and sympathise with him before remembering my Xmas is alone too. :p

Girls are over rated OP. My last GF of 7 months broke up with me during my 3rd year uni exams and is now with a guy who used to be my best mate, who helped me through the heartache. To top it off he's 18 stone and sweats profusely which makes me feel great about myself if she prefers him over me.

Then I have to see another of my best mates with the sweetest and kindest girl I've ever known, who is such an amazing friend to me, and try not to be bitter. :p

Believe me, you're better off single, no headache, no messing up degrees over girls. :)
 
im 49, been living on my own now for 9 yrs, and kinda like it.
Spent 12 hours at work yesterday, then went home had a microwave chinese and hit the sack.
i think lonliness is a state of mind, or perhaps im just used to it? I find plenty to do, im quite an active person, swim at least 150 lengths a week, plus other exercise, tend not dwell on the lonely aspect.
Dads in hospital again, hes 86 now,and has taken to falling over a lot as a hobby?:(
 
Truly alone is lay on a street somewhere, with no home or family, so think yourself lucky. Last Christmas I was sat in a tent, in the desert of Afghanistan, that was pretty lonely, but at least I knew I had my family to come home to after. Look at life this way instead.
 
Someone put this up on their Facebook page recently. To my mind, it carries a certain ironic desperation, but it's quite touching nonetheless.


That is amazing, really made me think. But again, I am on my own on Boxing Day. Sat doing exactly the same thing as I was last night. I know I am a lot better off than most people, and I feel really selfish for feeling like this, but I can't help it.
