Life Outside Work

Harry

Does anyone feel like they have no life outside of work?

i.e. no social life, no friends etc...

I have the week off work and I find that whenever I have time off work, all I think about is work and the stuff I could be doing. 

I find that I feel like I should make plans with people, but that when I do, others are always too busy to make time for me. 

I just spend all my time off in bed.

  • I feel the same as you. While I do enjoy being alone and spending time in bed, I also feel that having some bit of social life would be enjoyable, as it would give life more variety. Maybe not too much social life as that would be overly tiring, but just a bit, like the spices in a dish. But I find that it seems difficult to have any close friends or to make plans with people this way, because when compared to most people you socialise less regularly, and therefore may be at the lower end of their friends list. They would have more interesting things to do or other people to go out with than someone they only see occasionally. And meeting new people is difficult as most people already have some social circle of their own.

    So, are you also having the same problem? You think you might enjoy a bit of social life, but find it difficult to achieve?
