I don't even know where to post this so I guess I'll put it here since there are more posts here anyway. I don't know what my problem is lately. I just feel like crap mentally and fed up with people. It's getting more and more depressing. I feel like the more I'm out in the world, whether it's my job or some of the online sites I visit, I just feel more lonely and crappy. I feel like I never meet anyone that has any interest in me whatsoever. When I went to myspace today I had this urge to delete everyone on there (or most everyone) and start over. But what good that would do....probably wouldn't really. I don't feel like I'll ever really connect with anyone. No one gets me, no one cares to, in real life or the world of internet. I don't know why my self-esteem is quite this bad. I know that I have had issues with shying away from people that try to make friends with me, but I can tell if I don't have any common interests that it will just fizzle out. That's what I like to talk about, my interests. I try to listen to other people but when they just gossip and chatter on about social-type things I just get so bored and I know I don't hide it well. I don't get other people and they don't get me. I think I will probably die one of the loneliest people. If I had a funeral I really doubt more than a handful of people would show up because no one actually cares. I don't know if I really am the most boring person out there and that I have nothing to offer, or if my aspergers is just that bad that I come across as too strange, I don't know. I feel like the only people that ever talk to me is maybe a guy here and there and even that doesn't really last. I don't understand it.

You poor thing - I bet fewer people wd turn up to mine, in fact I doubt if there wd be anyone. But that really doesn't bother me. I spent ten yrs of my childhood in a goldfishbowl backward village so where I am now is fab.

I often think foods are a help in feeling better, the big help for me is out with the dog in wild country. No-one for two hors is good medicine for me. I have a routine of work and time off, little outside that interests me, apart from my own interests, which I'll not divulge just yet.

Do you listen to chamber music - Beethoven is good medicine.

Are you into any poetry, landscape, gardening, natural history in any way?

I never seem to be good at gardening, unfortunately. I do wish I lived in the country and could go for walks outside, that used to help me when I was younger, but that was a long time ago and I don't live there anymore. *sigh*. Maybe I should try to find some classical music, I don't know why I've never bought any because I do like it. My interests are a little out there, I like watching tv shows on the paranormal and would like to try ghost hunting. I don't think it's something I'd like to do alone though and no one that I've talked to has any interest in it. I suppose I should try to widen my interests a little.

I listen to Radio Three- it's the BBCs' Classical Music station, and they have it online now, too- try it out!

Take care of yourself and enjoy some music,

Thanks for the link, there is just one station right? :P Right now I'm listening to something that sounds like it isn't necessarily classical but from another country (sort of african sounding). I assume they have a whole variety of music unless there's another link. I'll keep looking through the site.

Yes it's one station, broadcast 24 hours a day without any adverts ( it's funded by the tax payer ).

It's based around Classical Music but they also broadcast some Contemporary Music, Jazz and 'World Roots Music'- what is on now. I'm a bit underwhelmed by the 'World Music', though.

Try the 'listen again' feature where previous programmes and concerts can be played. They also have documentary programmes and discussions about culture- recently on 'Private Passions'( an interview programme where 'luminaries' chose and discuss their favourite music ) Simon Baron-Cohen was interviewed.

'Night Waves' is also usually a source for good intelligent discussion, too. Why not bookmark the station,

I get like that a lot too. It's just a feeling of...apathy and hopelessness? Tired of everyone and blase about life. I keep remembering how I was when I was a kid I was always so excited about everything (except school) and I wish I were like that now.

I love those shows! I used to put down tape recorders in my house all the time in hopes of catching an EVP. I still do sometimes. I think being a ghost hunter would be my ideal job. But yeah, it wouldn't be fun to do alone.
