Monodare1 Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Hi guys I met up with the ex, very cold and matter of fact and I must admit I didn't feel any pangs of wanting her back, but despite her having ended it with me, I felt a bit sorry for her, don't know why. I am feeling nervous about Christmas, nervous of feeling lonely. I've been single before at this time of year and I recall it being a really difficult Christmas. I don't want to get into a relationship just because I feel lonely, but I know I'll miss the feeling of togetherness. What's everyone else's plans to beat the ghost of lonely christmas's past?
d0nnivain Posted November 25, 2013 Posted November 25, 2013 Keep busy. Volunteer somewhere. Surround yourself with people & close friends / family. If you do feel lonely, accept that it's a natural emotion but try not to dwell on it. Do something to soothe yourself. I used to build a fire & curl up with a blanket, my dog, a good book & a glass of wine. 1
alonefornow Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 My first Christmas alone I reached out to some single friends in town that I hadn't really seen in a while and asked what they were doing. They ended up inviting me over for dinner with a number of other friends. It ended up being one of the least alone times I felt that season. I had forgotten about how when you don't have one other person to do things with all the time, you tend to find lots of people to do things with.
Phoe Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 I have been single for every Christmas of my life, so it feels very normal, but even so, I get those pangs of loneliness during December, when everything is so festive and cheery and lovely, and even though I'm happy and loving the season, I wish I had someone to share it with. It's silly, but I've always wanted to snuggle up next to a fire with someone. I am quite enamored with the simple things... It always passes, and so it will, but I know that little irking thought will be in my brain every now and then this season.
dumped2013 Posted November 26, 2013 Posted November 26, 2013 I will have a fire in my wood stove and my cat will cuddle up with me. Hopefully there will be a football game on....
