tell other huddlers your problems

[PhillyB]

I don't have any friends anymore. In the past 4 years my friends have, in order: become paralyzed alcoholics and lost contact with world; moved to Baltimore; moved out of the country; is still acting like he did in high school and we can no longer relate; relocated to UVA to get his Masters; and became such an asshole that I finally realized I get more upset by spending time with him than I do having fun with him and I've cut him off.

 

All I want to do if have a guy friend that I can go throw a football around with after work, talk about sports and drink scotch. But I'm honestly back at ground zero. I'm like a guy who's back on the dating scene after being married for 20 years. I have no idea how to make male friends anymore.

 

I love my girlfriend to death, but I need a go-to guy-so badly. Someone I can talk to when I need to talk about my girlfriend. And I love her, but she won't drink scotch at all. Can't even stand the smell of it. WTF is up with that?

 

And I'm also concerned because I want to get married to my girlfriend, but who the fug would be my best man?

 

that's rough. i've realized at times i take having guy friends for granted. i can call those motherfugers anytime to grab a beer and complain about my wife or talk about roster battles in camp, and it's hard to imagine being without them. 

 

are you in the charlotte area? have you thought about making a concerted effort to hang out with a fan group? maybe you can find some cool ppl there to hang with

Frankly I would be offended if you didn't.

 

 

DC, actually. Moved into Columbia Heights last October.

 

What do you love to do?

 

Whatever that is, join a club.

 

I have more buds than most I think, but it could be my business.

i have cousins on kent island

 

yea kent island is a cool little place. right over the bridge to annapolis, right there to d.c/baltimore, two hours from philly.

 

that week i spent there was during sandy. one of the few times in my life where i actually said i might die to myself. me and my buddy were stupid enough to go outside drunk as hell and venture. i've done some very stupid things in my life but that took the cake. the winds were so strong and debris was flying around i can't even begin to describe it.

I will add this...

Like has been said here, a lot of us are here to help if we can... But, also remember, that we like hearing the "feel good" stories too...

 

Aa lot of times, I think some depression can spring from not sharing those "feel good" stories enough...

Happiness is only real when shared...

I hate my job but like the money, so I'm kinda damned if I do damned if I don't when it comes to quitting. Current plan is to put as much money away as possible so maybe I can quit by April and go on to something else. Or go out of the country for a bit, I've always wanted to just travel Europe for a year or two but and I'm still relatively young so I'm thinking of maybe saying why the hell not and just go?

Robin Williams recent death has stirred up a discussion that always needs attention. Suicide is never the answer. I know it's become a cliche, but suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. All things in life are temporary. However, and it may be controversial to say, but I believe suicidal thoughts do have value. The true resolve of a person is tested when you are as down as you can possibly be, you want nothing more but for the pain to end, but you are still able reach down within yourself to the core of your being to weather the storm. The sun will always rise on another day and you will be given new opportunities to pull yourself up. Some of the most beautiful weather comes after a storm and just the same, there is no better feeling than when happiness returns after a bout of depression. We are all privileged to live in truly high times for humanity...please appreciate the gift that is life!

I think the key here is that at least 60% of Huddlers are self aware.

[pstall]

For men in many ways it shows how shallow we can be/are.

Im willing to bet not a man in the huddle has not had a lump in their throat on something that is burning on the inside or some guilt or doubt or fear but stuffs it out of fear of being judged or looking foolish.

My advice if this you is talk anyway.

What I told awesome I will offer to anyone else. PM me or call. I promise you not much I haven't seen or gone thru or just listen.

My mom is visiting and asks more questions than a five year old. How am I supposed to know who lives in that house on the mountain? Or why cars are parked outside a building

I will say this, I vented a lot when my step dad, half sister, and mom all died in a 3 month period last year. 2 of those very unexpectedly.

And the huddle helped out more than I can say. Just to vent and type everything out was a great thing, plus the season and just debating on here was a great distraction.

It does help to talk (or type)

I have ingrown toenails, they hurt like hell!
