Left out

Have you ever just felt totally left out?
Life is happening ever where around you....your not invited into the exclusive club?
Man, I feel like that today. I watch my co-workers running around busy with work or visiting each other in
their offices. Only stopping by long enough for a question, they only hear part of the answer for. Returning later to
re-ask me the same question again, because they couldn't stand there long enough for the complete answer the first
time. >I almost ran out of breathe!<
I think I have to start making changes in my life, but haven't figured out what all of these changes should be. Looking back
on a full week, I lead a very boring life. From day to day, it's the same thing, go to work and go home. How fun is that?
What happened to the fun in my life? I am a very social person, and I have no social life.
We have lived here for 9 months now, I haven't met anyone I can just hang out with. My husband and I have gone out quite
a bit, and I have met people, but most just don't seem interested.
My hubby works with a lot of young unmarried military guys, hard to find wives to hang out with!
I have always seen myself as fun loving and I am usually a pretty happy person. (I have bad days) I have always been able
to make my friends laugh. (One of my favorite things!)
That's why I have come to the conclusion of making some changes. I have to start doing things that are a little more social. (than
going to a bar with my hubby.)
I have to focus on losing the weight left over from my last pregnancy. It's sad but I think people are a little put off by it (weight). I am
not horribly obese or anything. It's just 30 pounds, but I'm short, so it probably looks like more. It's bad that people judge you like that
but I really do beleive that the weight is part of the problem. Not just others but me too. My confidence isn't as high as it used to be.
Maybe it shows, even though I thought I was hiding it!
The rest of the changes are more circumstance than anything else. Sharing a car with hubby, plus he works opposite shift. Which
helps a little while sharing a car, but not in other instances.....if you know what I mean! :P
Maybe I'm just depressed, not unlikely, I have had a pretty eventful 12 months. I just don't know if it would require the
pick me up drugs or just an uplift in spirit.
It's like starting a new school all over again! Everyone has already paired up with their friends, and you have to work your
way in.
This social butterfly is beginning to feel a little left out!

you say you are having a hard time making friends, have you looked at yourself long and hard and asked yourself - why?
maybe you talk to much or go on about things to the point that you overwhelm them. and they get tired of listening.
Are you interesting to talk to?
Maybe you are trying too hard to be in. Just let it happen.
