1. I’ve always been the awkward friendless outsider. I will always be the awkward friendless outsider. Four years of college, four years of graduate school, and over 15 years in the professional world. And I still can’t seem to carry on a conversation without being awkward.
I don’t have any friends, which makes life pretty hard when I’m going through rough patches. Coworkers quietly go to lunch and hang out after work without inviting me.
In-laws and extended family all have these meaningful relationships and go on vacations together. I’ve spent my entire life watching from the outside and it’s so depressing.
