Need a fresh start to something new
and something exciting...
when I run into people who I haven't seen in a few months and they ask how things are, I have NOTHING new to update them on...I feel like right now everything in my life is "good" but not noteworthy (which leads to a BORING conversation)
Why does life feel so bland and boring...
Re: Need a fresh start to something new
I'm kind of in the same rut 715! I think part of it is that I don't have too many of my own friends down here still--I really don't interact with many people besides DH and my co-workers. That's why i'm hoping our GTG on the 28th is a success!
Sometimes I wish I were quick and witty like some of you to be able to come up with a story in the heat of the moment to rattle off--even if its all totally made up. But I'm just not--my stories tend to be boring and even the "good" ones tend to suck, I think.
I bet you all can't WAIT to meet me now--lol.
But I think most of my friends (I do tend to have friends that are the exact opposite of me--they could talk for hours) do think I'm an excellent listener! Before I go into a situation where I know I'll have to speak, I usually try to think about it in advance and come up with a few topics that I feel comfortable speaking about. I have a hair appt tonight, so I'm going to start my list soon!
This is too funny! I know what you mean about feeling like you should have something to talk about ahead of time!
I'm constantly thinking in my head about the meetings/people I might see during the day or the next day and trying to think of things to be sure to mention or to talk about if I need to sound chatty!
Actually, I do play on a soccer league (starts back the end of Feb), I have been working on a roman shade that I'm sewing, I am a part of a few organizations outside of work related to the whole energy improvement/education thing, and have a small group through church- but none of that seems noteworthy to me, just small little things- all things that I'm only mediocre at.
It's go big or go home for me to feel like I've accomplished something or have something to talk about.
Have we set a time for the GTG?
