Don't go getting nutty about being alone.

I have found life is long on acquaintances and very short on friends. When we expect friends from acquaintance level people there is always disappointment.

I think very few people understand how to make the personal sacrifices that friendship occasionally requires of us.

Someone will come along someday....there is someone out there for everyone.

True words man. For sure. Though even with acquaintances, like I do buy the line of science that says we evolved to be social beings. I think to have a space to be social on some level is important, and I do feel at a loss in this regard.

There's obviously good aspects to becoming more solitary, but you know what I mean. It's just nice to meet and share time with other people along common ground, shared interests, to engage in play and etc., even if it doesn't develop into something more than that.

I know this might sound corny, but....

I go to church and there are folks there to chat with, volunteer somewhere if your injuries allow such and this one is really corny but works...I try to give store attendants, gas station folks etc a warm smile and sincere "how is your day." It amazes me how folks can work all day assissting people and no one is polite or friendly, I have found it really makes someone's day to notice them helping you.

It is very easy to retreat into yourself with pcs, these are some ways I force myself into life.
