Should I just give up on having any sort of company?

A couple of weeks ago I was sort of amazed at the fact that I could theoretically go to something where people are present for every day of the week. On my own terms, too (unlike college for the past two years, which company isn't the central aspect). At one fell swoop last week THREE days have just been mercilessly annihilated out of my schedule. Well, alright, it was mostly merciless on one, which was actually something totally new in my life, which I could only enjoy for the past month. Other than that a weekly mini-evening course I was on ended and the philosophy group finished for Christmas, although it will begin again straight after New Year at least.

But... it's not just about the present. I'm just fed up of all this... having company in this 'modern' world is like trying to climb Mount Everest. And I have no one to help me climb it (obviously, otherwise why would I want company?) - and I doubt anyone could realistically climb the actual mountain on their own. So, perhaps at this point it would only be rational for me to give up... and just get a cat and stay with it forever, or something...

I'm confused.

You were going to meet people and having fun, but now you either got busy for 3 days, or three of those activities are shut down for Christmas break?

For the past few weeks, I meant, I managed to be able to potentially go somewhere every day of the week. Now three of those days are gone, all for different reasons (only one shut down for Christmas, so that's still not the main reason... Christmas isn't actually the worst time for me, New Year is worse, but generally life is).

...and no, I'm certainly not busy.

Yes, maybe it's best to give up as no one would want to give any sort of company, sadly......But, better to be alone than in bad company, right?

What happened... to those days? I mentioned about two above... linked to the third to another thread in which I detail about it. This one was particularly harrowing, but I think they all boil down to the simple fact that it seems indeed useless to try to establish activities to go to when they'll always inevitably die off.
