Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lately, I've been lacking that social life everyone seems to have. The weekend plans, the good dinner with friends, or just go to the movies.

Lately, I've had none. The moment plans are made, a promise is made "Yeah! We'll come see you!" ... Never happens.

I recently just had a good friend of mine from my last job come down for the Syracuse v. Duke game. I live in Syracuse. He said he'd come by and visit. I was all dressed, hair straightened, makeup even on too.

... Already heading home, never saw me.

Time before that, my crush adn I wanted to go to the movies. Day of teh movie, he overslept and didn't make it on time because I had to work. He came by and apologized, and said he'd visit me that weekend.

... Didn't visit me. I texted him when he could come over with him telling me he was back on the bus back to school.

Best friend didn't get to visit me at all before she went to California for graduate school. I was in a very tight financial bind to travel to see her.

... Never got to see my best friend before she went to California. She made no effort to make plans to do so.

No one visits me. No one writes to me. I feel pretty alone here. My roommate is a jerk who uses my stuff, too much of everything, and thinks I'm a heathen sinner (he's very religious).

It could be the people who you choose to surround yourself with? Do they initiate that consistent contact with you (whether it is through social media, text or phone call)? Or are you the one always going out on a limb figuratively to keep those connections?
