Good-Bye.

Thats so true!!! I dont get why people are so upset about being single, everything will fall into place and the right guy will come along...

I have been looking for a new horse, was searching for about 4 months, and i rode 5 different horses, and they just didnt work out.. One of them i really liked, but that didnt work out.. I was heartbroken.. I thought that horse was brilliant... Until i met Kyros.. and now i realise that after 4 months of waiting and searching and being upset.. I was just waiting for that perfect horse to come along


AND i only want an english or irish boyfriend.. Which is probably why i am so laid back about it all, cause i will not date an australian guy.. So dont mind waiting for that great accent HAHAHAHA

I think its a downfall being younger than most of you. I dont know your ages so I won't ask. Lol.

25 here. At least, I think that was my age last time I checked!

Growing up I actually got along with people outside my age range better than I did with people within it. Through school I actually ended up with an adult friend. He'd help me with my bike if it needed fixing, and I got his dog to eat! For some reason, she did not like to eat, and it didn't matter how her food was presented to her (dry, moist food, food with broth, etc), she just did not want to eat at all. She only ate to live! And she wasn't eating enough food so she was pretty scrawny! Healthy, but scrawny. It got to the point that whenever I came over, she would see me and go straight to her food dish to chow down! Her owner was surprised how well she ate when I was around!

I also had some friends younger than me that I got along with. For the most part though, I didn't have many friends, especially those near my age.


I've had birds since I was 12 years old, so just over half my life! And Casey, my first cockatiel, is now 12 years old. The majority of my birds are older than she is! But I've had her the longest, out of all my current birds.


Right when I turned 17 years old, someone on a forum accused me about lying about my age. I guess they thought I was really older than I am, but told everyone that I was younger because I was embarrassed about my age. Nope... I really was a teenager back then!




I actually find it odd that many of the people I knew growing up are now married and/or with kids. It's odd to think the people I went to school with now have families or that they've found someone they want to spend the rest of their life with. I on the other hand am not interested in kids, nor do I want to get married. Two things my BF does want that I cannot give him! But he'd rather have me than not have me! So right now, it doesn't seem to be an issue that I wont give him kids or that I don't want to marry him. I guess it's kind of bad that I can see us living together, but right now I can't see us being in a long term relationship. (been together for 1 1/2 years now) I really do feel odd not being like everyone else I know! At the same time, I don't want to be like them!


I think we really are all an odd bunch of people! Everyone on this forum is different, but we all share one thing... our love of birds and animals! It's something that brings us together, regardless of our race, our age, our knowledge, our country and gender! For the most part, we get along! We care about each other and our pets, even if it's not well seen in some posts. And, like any kind of family, there are people who are well loved and others who are just kind of on the sidelines. A part of, but separate, from the group. Some are more talkative than others. Some are hilarious while others are more serious. It's a quirky group that mostly gets along!

Very well said, Monica.

I think so many of us are introverts here! There is absolutely nothing wrong with that at all. Most of my favorite people are also introverts.

As a kid i was actually painfully shy, overly sensitive and over-thought everything. Recipe for some sad days. I'm familiar with feeling heavy and down about people and society.

I have never had massive luck in the romance department (I am just 42 last week and still single, never married) but what i have had is this tremendous good fortune in the friend department. Over the years i have accumulated friends who love and respect me for who i am, without judging it or expecting me to change who i am. Friends who drive a few hours just to give me a hug because a pet died or to surprise me on a special occasion....but still accept me for my own quirks...and have actually learned to celebrate those quirks.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting and NEEDING space, even a lot of it. I need more "me time" and space than most people too. I truly believe we are hard wired for it.

Take the time you need, listen to your own intuition and trust yourself. And vent a little from time to time, LOL

We should all compare "Personality Types" on the forum. I am an INFP.

ha ha, I'm not telling you how old I am ....but when I was SO fed up with guys, I was so done with them all, that is when I met my hubby I was 19 and he was 17

when the time is right you will meet mr.right....don't rush it....enjoy yourself and your life, find out who you are as a person, make yourself happy first!!

You were fed up by 19? Wow! I was fed up by my lat 20's. Going through a divorce and being sexually harassed at work, I was one angry person. Got through the divorce, walked off my job until they had a implemented a no tollerance policy for sexually harassment. It took a while but the person who harassed me, did finally apologize to me, so got over that. Then whala met my 'now' husband. I was totally caught off guard and I cried because I didn't really want anybody. But we had great chemistry.... but I was so confused. Totally knew he was the one. Been married now 17 years this last September.

During my divorce and remarriage it was all about me and my son. We both needed to heal. I took that time to really work on remembering and working on who I was before my first marriage, before I lost my identity. I purged all the negative crap, because my thinking was if and when I do meet some one, I didn't want to bring that baggage in to another relationship. It was a lot of tears and hard work, but so worth it.

So maybe I can relate to a lot of you.
But I cant hug my birds. >.<
And my dogs aren't allowed in my room.
And the only stuffed animal I have the guy won it for me at Kings Dominion (Another hint of where I live)

MEH

I am reading this. I like fitting into things. Like the group of friends I have right now at college (known them since freshmen year of high school) their all in happy relationships. Others are married, and the married couples have kids, or are pregnant. I kinda want a guy who can be like me. Go bird crazy, and lie around making weird faces and comments at the TV.
So I feel like the odd ball.

but didn't help that my mom tells me she doesn't like the guy I was really into, and that I can do better. I'll just marry my birds, at this rate I won't find Mr. Right.

P S where is the frosting ? For reals.

DON'T BE IN A HURRY... IT HAPPENS WHEN IT HAPPENS.

I know quite a few people who married young. Many of them also divorced young... and discovered that being young, with small children, doesn't exactly make for a happy social life either.

AND DON'T LET YOUR MOTHER PICK YOUR DATES...

IT'S ABOUT WHAT YOU FEEL...

Just make sure the relationship is healthy for both of you, that's what's important.

And actually, my social life revolves around the drop zone, and skydiving.

If you want to blast your way out of a funk...

Who needs frosting when you have all these crazy idiots to play with?!

"Only a skydiver truly understands why the birds sing!"

THAT'S MY MOTTO!

too many stupid choices in the boy friend department, tired of trusting and getting hurt, once I got smart, and was on my own for a while, that is when I met my hubby

I think that's what happen this time. Ive been single for about 3 years now, I left my walls fall and my guard was caught down. Now I guess I go another 3 years of being single. :I

Yay!

Birdman, I never did get my skydive in!! I was supposed to go about ten years ago, doing a tandem at a jersey shore area skydive place. They called me on the way to the airport because the wind got weird and they cancelled. I never made it back.
But I get that as the cure--I used to go ride coasters every weekend for the "200 foot fix" as I called it. It's not possible to feel sad when you are doing a thrill ride!

 

[jugoya]

I was much in the same boat when i was your age...

Ten years later I'm happily married, have two jobs I adore and my husband is my best friend.

I am also on the anti social side, but that has to do with several issues I'd rather not go into. Suffice to say...

Things get better :3
