I Want to Be Positive About Life

Today, most of the day, I was alone with my fear and anxiety. Several good friends helped - some from here on SW, some IRL - and that made me happier.

Then, I got an indication from the man in my life that he’d like to go to a future event with me.

Then, I got an email from a recruiter I’m working with - they got positive feedback from the hiring manager after my last interview. It’s not certain yet, but this interview just might work out.

Then, I went to a group activity tonight. The instructor runs several groups during the week. When I told her how I’m feeling crazy being by myself so much, she invited me to attend the other groups as well (even though I’m only registered for one.)

That made my whole day. That woman is the heart and soul of kindness.

We are all alone in some ways. It's sounds like you do have some positive things in your life, problematic and imperfect as they may sometimes be.

You feel a deep anomie and sense of alienation, even when surrounded by people who are somewhat like minded.

It sounds like you worry about the judhement of others more than you should and that you are your own worst critic. Perhaps this is a delayed hangover from being in a hostile work environment that you have since escaped from.

I think perspective helps. Think about people who are in worse situations and the things which you have that others don't. You are intelligent, educated, empathic, conscientious and not in a destitute situation. This can't be said of many people. Its a dark world but we need to appreciate the chunks of light where we find them.
