I am curious to know what is going through your mind that you mostly are spending time with your family, as part of your GAL.

Don't get me wrong, but is there some reason why you don't get out, much? I'm guessing lack of a job, so lack of money might be the cause. Although if that's the case, quite often people can find things to do that are quite cheap or even free. Such as hanging out at a park or going to a library or even just visiting with friends, which is a great social opportunity as well as potential to network, as well.

I also wanted to bring forward from your old account, last post, you responded to a post by 25yrsmlc:

I keep my expectation low so I do not get let down.
I hate being lonely but often put myself in position to be lonely.


What have you done specifically to deal with the things you listed above?
