| curl-6 said: Thanks for the responses, advice, and encouragement everyone, sorry to go all DairyChartz on you, I should know better by now than to post when I'm feeling down but I guess that's one aspect of what I mean when I say I don't feel like I've matured, despite my best efforts I'm still quite impulsive and have trouble controlling my emotions. I all too often say or post things in an outburst of anger, sadness, or excitement instead of thinking it through. Feeling a bit better today though.
I actually work with kids as a career, I'm a mentor for children with autism. In that capacity I work in both classrooms and support groups as well as on camps, events, and such. And it is indeed very rewarding. I guess I just still have that biological urge to pass my genes on. |
That's awesome stuff :) Definitely not an easy job.
Focusing on yourself is a good way to find someone ironically. Once you take that pressure off yourself, stop beating yourself up about it, and just spend some time doing what you like and things to improve yourself, you'll be in a better position to draw someone into your own happiness.
Doing activities/hobbies you enjoy with groups is really helpful too. You'll be around people that share some interests with you, which also helps as a natural icebreaker. My cousin ended up meeting meeting his wife at Swordcraft :)
