joel Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 well today i went to the fair an annual event held for 2 wks in vancouver called the PNE. i got one free ticket so decided to go. siince i have no one to go with i went by myself since i haven't been to the fair since the age of 15. what i noticed was nobody but myself went by himself except for me. i looked around saw one guy waiting outside near the food court ,,but low and behold he was waiting for his gf. yea gets pretty depressing going by urself. and even if i had a freind to go with my folks be like u sure they aren't gangster right and this and that and say no to drugs and the big lecture on what is right and wrong at age 23. they wanted me to go to the fair early in the morning so i can come home early i did at 5 pm was there at 9am. next yr if i get a free ticket to the fair i not going to go unless i have a gf , date or freinds to go with-thats with everything now, unless for movie since at least i can hide at the back and nobody can see u since its all dark and ppl are paying attention to the movie and not u. seeing all these couples around my age and even younger holding hands and being togther just depressing the shame out of me. i wish i could go back time like back to the future-only with easier going parents. man i miss out on so many things-prom, dating, kissing a girl for the first time,keg parties.....
honey2005 Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 I'm not much younger than you and I haven't experienced any of the things you mentioned (well except for prom and that was forced and it sucked ) so don't be depressed. You still have a long life ahead of you and you're gonna meet nice girls and experience all the things you want to. Maybe you should talk to your parents about how you feel. Prove to them you're a mature and responisble adult and maybe they will cut you some slack.
moimeme Posted August 24, 2004 Posted August 24, 2004 I've done tons of stuff on my own - including travel. Last time I took a trip, I considered inviting a friend and decided against it. Sometimes all my pals were too broke or too busy to go someplace with me and I didn't want to miss going so I just went. You get used to it. I went to Europe alone because none of my friends could save up enough money in time to go when I could but I joined a tour, made friends, and had a blast. You can have a ton of fun by yourself but you won't if all you do is look around to find out how many other people are by themselves. Just go do the stuff you like to do. There'll be plenty of times in life when you'll be with a bunch of people and you won't get to do exactly as you please, so enjoy the solo experiences while you have them
