    Going unreg for this.

    Ok, I know this might be stupid but I have being back recently for traveling for a year and had the time of my life. Meeting loads of people and having lots of fun. Now I'm back a month now and I'm feeling so lonely.

    Before I left, I didn't have loads of friends, just mainly 2 friends and then people from work. Went out with work every week so was ok. Also had a gf for 3 years which ended a couple of months before I left, but I'm completely over her (although I would like a gf, spent over a year with just one night'rs). Now I'm back I only have 2 friends from traveling as I'm not working yet and my other friends have let to go traveling. So I'm all alone now, no one to go out with.
    I'm trying to be a more interesting person, reading human behavior and self help books.
    All I want is to have friends. I don't care bout money or things. I have a cheap phone etc.
    I'm lost as to what I wanna work at, don't want to do what I did before. But Ireland is depressing with this recession ****, no jobs.

    I'm longing for people to call or txt, watching my phone all day. Not happening.
    I know I should join a club or something, but truth is I don't have any real passion,
    I just like socializing, when I can.

    I dunno what I expect to get outa this but I just want to tell someone.
    Thinking I should start over and live in Oz. Nothing for me here in Ireland. (except a girl, but that will never happen :(

    Thanks for reading if ya got this far.

    Hi,

    You never mentioned your age, you give the impression of being young. Anyhow youve only been back a month, you cant expect to have a full on social life after being away, you need time to get into th e flow again, meet people, get to know the scene. Also bear in mind that its coming up to christmas, people are holding on to their cash for presents, especially this year. The christmas period will have lotts of parties, so make sure you get out there and meet people!!

    Hey Hey,

    I want the same thing as you :P Just posted a thread there on friendship 'cause at the moment i don't have many friends and would really love some more! Like yourself i know i should join some clubs or classes or so but don't have any main passion. I like the simple things in life and just socialising with nice, friendly genuine people. I'd love if you contacted me :pac:

    I'm also fed up with Ireland and it's climate- weather & economics. Have been thinking of heading to Oz next year, mmmm tempting:)

    HI

    I know just how you feel. I came back from Oz after 4yrs and everyone had moved on. I had no single friends to go out with. I was really lucky to have my sister and brother to go out with but both had partners and I always felt I was intruding.

    fast forward 8 years and I'm pretty much in the same boat. Have 1 or 2 close friends but none to the extent of oz. I really miss it and wouldn't blame you for wanting to go back. But be warned, the second time is never the same. I went back after 4yrs home and all my old friends had gone. it was fun but not the same.

    Hope it all works out for you....
