I need to fill my time with stuff so im not alone as much.
GAL stuff is really important, but there's something else that's almost as important- you've got to learn to enjoy being alone. It may sounds strange, but it's true. If you can't enjoy being alone with yourself, then how can you expect anyone else to enjoy being around you? I can't remember if I've suggested this before to you, but read No More Mister Nice Guy. It's a book that deals with the "nice guy" syndrome, how supposed nice guys are always seeking affirmation and validation from others and have low self-esteem. It walks you through how to learn to love yourself and who you are. That is really the foundation for all other R's in your life. I think any guy who has been in an extended LTR could benefit from reading the book, we all tend to become pretty codependent in LTR's.
