Mona,

I don’t think there is anything wrong with being anti-social. I’ve been that way all my life. I spent years trying to force myself to go out when all I really wanted to do was stay home and read a book, sit on the computer, or watch tv. One day when I wasn’t expecting it I met this gorgeous, lebanese, extremely anti-social guy. We started hanging out at his house, because he hated going out too. Now we’ve been married 10 years, have three kids and we still sit around the house and bitch whenever we have to go out around other people. Stop beating yourself up. There isn’t anything wrong with you. You’re a hot, smart, Arab woman and one day you’ll meet the right guy and no amount of bitchiness will scare him away.

I too stare at the sky for hours. For the past week I have had 3-4 ‘UFO’s hovering around my house, they followed me home – kinda cool/long story.

“open minded highly liberal life view”
I can take a hint… ;_;
Though I don’t consider myself ‘liberal’ nor ‘conservative’, I am open-minded and more obscure than the typical replier. *sigh*

I know you probably don’t read my comments anyways but…

You are NOT alone, NEVER have been and NEVER will be. The world around you tells you that you are, but in the REALITY of life – you are not.

Get over it, you are not the only lonely internet-junkie dreaming of a better world.

And, ‘No pain, no gain’, it fits in sooo many ways…

Hey !
You know…I didnt think there were other people that felt like this.
I know exactly what you mean about the having to initiate things, most of the time its like that with me too.

Every once in a while I meet someone where it seems to go perfectly, but after time it stops again.

I wonder about the point of life sometimes…but have come to the conclusion that there is no point.
We just live, and can do what we want..but not really because we are limited by rules and money (or lack thereof)

The best might be find a place where you can start over and have a new beginning…new friends, new people, new places.

Im not trying to change your life…just making you smile:)

hehehe *poke*

Are you smiling now?

Salaam, I was mugged a few days ago… I thought I wouldnt be able to sleep because I was angry….so angry. I read the Palastinians News which I got in the mail that day, my anger dissipated, I felt grateful.

Mona, as you’ve said yourself you’re not even sure yourself what your problems are. Have faith in yourself as you’re an intelligent and insightful person. Once you figure out exactly what you mean about your ‘middle ground’ (such a broad term!) you’ll get your second wind and pick up the motivation to go for it.

I’m not writing from the conservative view, or from an Arab( ) perspective (I think). I’m not telling you to do anything. You don’t have to do what I suggest.

Have fun.

That’s all life’s about, right?
Day after day, we’re bombarded with work and orders. :vangry: But why really bother with all that? Just live your life the way you want to live your life…comfort food works too

But hey. What would I know? I’m just some highschool kid who should really be doing her homework.

Well if it is any consolation you’re not alone in feeling like that, I feel like that most of the time and it isn’t a nice feeling at all.

I actually feel very sad for you sometimes when I read your posts, but then I’m old and I look back at my life and understand where you’re coming from because I have felt many of the same things as you during my life time, as I’m sure many others have.

Hopefully your blog helps you to release a lot of pent up anger and frustration which I’m sure it does judging by how I chuckle at a lot of your tirades or diatribes. Lots of people live their lives to give advice, but who really wants to hear it? Not Me. I would wish for you some happiness though.

No one understands the things you go through. I’ve also been so sad lately.
Like life isn’t worth living.

Your blog is one thing that makes me smile still.

Thank you for making my life a little better.

I mean it!!

I am the exact same way. I had many friends back over seas. I came here and it was hard to fit in, when I did get friends we had to move, we have moved 3 times since I have been in America. Now I have been in this new city for a year and still dont have real friends, I don’t feel like they care about me much.
