LOL… A dog is always good, but it’s no substitute for human companionship!

Maybe I should just get a dog.

Hmm, but how are you going to “know” people if you don’t start interacting with them. Online is just a place to start. Sometimes “real” friendships start there, as well. My point is, don’t limit yourself to the small group of people you meet every day.

I seem to have bad luck in this regard. I’d discuss these things with people online, but I would prefer to discuss them with people I know and have been friends with for some time, rather than with complete strangers. Does this make sense?

Even then, it seems like nobody wants to talk about what’s interested me lately. At my job, if I want to talk about football, people’s only interest is baseball instead.

I propose a different course of action.

Here’s the plan: hmm, instead of thinking about that particular goal at the time, try discussing movie/book/issue in mind with a group of acquaintances or people online. Try posting about it. Try getting involved in some social activities you enjoy. NOT because you plan to meet a girl there, but just because. I am not one of those people who thinks “just relax” will solve all the problems. However, sometimes it helps to change perspective a little bit, and then, perhaps, you’ll notice things you wouldn’t have otherwise.
