They've probably all been up all night having the old candlelit vigils imo.Quote:

Then that couple will question us intensely on why we are not having a kid. and for the wons who don't have kids it's the usual dinner party type *******s. when I have guests I feel this over urge to entertain and show people things. they talk about brexit and I try to avoid it.Quote:

What do we do, though?Quote:

AS: Fine, I will stay for one more year and you will lose me for free. I'll also play like a **** in my final season.
AW: OK, we'll sell you to Chelsea. We owe them a favour for Cech, after all.
I doubt we will sell him to Chelsea.. and it doesn't seem to be in his make-up to play **** at any stage..... ayear out of a footballers life is along time, so he will either sign and stay or leave in the summerQuote:

That's odd. On the rare occasions I see friends, I tend to want to see them for as long as possible. Perhaps the problem is that you don't really like your friends very much anymore?Quote:

Friends always let you down in the end by killing themselves, in my experience.Quote:

Then when Facebook etc came along it was great to find really good old friends on there but all that happens is you send maybe 1 or 2 messages saying hello what you've been doing? then it's just saying happy birthday once a year. That friendship was then and now it's different.
I really quite like people :shrug: I came here five years ago knowing no one. Would have been pretty miserable if I didn't go out and meet people *Quote:

Well this is the thing. The business of actually seeing friends becomes a bit of an arse-ache. I arranged to meet an old chum in town on Friday night a couple of weeks back and for pretty much the entire week beforehand I was grumbling about it. I had a lovely time when I got there, of course, but the prospect of having to go out on a Friday night just seemed horrific.Quote:

It's not an anxiety thing anymore like I used to have. I am just tired and it's a pain getting home. Plus things are not exactly cheap these days.Quote:

:hehe: You miserable ****er, b. Mind you, I do know what you mean. I dislike it when I actually have something on a Friday night rather than just the spontaneous after-work drinks (spontaneous as in it happens every week, with the same people in the same place, of course)Quote:

It's a strange thing. When I was younger, I would spend all week looking forward to going out on Friday, spend hours on the phone sorting out plans and would feel a miserable loser on the rare occasions there was nothing going on and I had to stay in. These days, I'm often tempted to find an excuse not to go out even when I do have plans (I never do, of course, but I am tempted). I'm not sure when this change took place.Quote:

The trouble with that, surely, is that it relies one one's perception of oneself, which is notoriously unreliable? I mean, I think I'm an INTP, but people who know me might think otherwise.Quote:

Over the years I have taken many tests and have only ever got a result of ISTP or ISTJ.
The feedback I got from others has always been that it was pretty accurate.
I'll have a look but I don't really need a type or a category to fall into. I know I am a bit odd and think about things differently,Quote:
