I'm having a hard time meeting people in my new town. And Friday nights I feel like such a loser. I don't feel particularly like being productive either. What do you do on Fridays?

So what do we do about it?

Coffee shops are nice, ones that are not so loud.

I am burning music CDs of some old rock songs (The Who Vanilla fudge, Led Zeppelin...). It is something to do and music I enjoy.

I used to be in a small singles group that played card games. You can also have a movie night & invite those you meet & want to get to know. Remember that one "no" doesn't mean they're not interested, it could mean they really can't or would rather go out to see a movie.

I really like to just do my own thing on Fridays and yes I too feel like such a loser. But to be honest I am older now so I feel like for me I am so tired after a day of work and then with the stress of dealing with everything from traffic on the way home to buying gas to keeping up with the house chores I am just so stressed.
I honestly can't wait to get to sleep at night.
I don't have a whole lot of energy these days.
I am in my 30s now and I feel like I can't deal with anything.
I used to feel so left out and alone back when I was in my 20s.
I never had people around me and never had anything to do for fun.
I felt so bad on Friday nights when other young people were out there having a good time.
I felt like I was never able to do anything and I never fit in either.
Now I just always feel like I need some rest.
Any ideas on how I can feel less depressed and more alive.
