Well, nice to see you post again jc, been awhile. Wish it was under more cheerful circumstances....
You and me seem to have the opposite problem. I actually do better when alone. Unfortunately that almost never happens......
But when it does, for some reason I find it easier to distract myself, from myself. I guess maybe because I have more control over the situation, and no need to pretend I'm not feeling like a bampot (congratulations on your proper use of the word - it's a small world and you might be surprised where my family is originally from).
Sounds like some good advice has already been given by other members, which is a good thing, because I doubt I have much to add. Just wanted to say hi, and hope you can get a handle on the being alone thing. Maybe just try to look at it as a time when you are in complete control of your destiny. You can do whatever you want to do, without having to bother with others. If you simply can't stand being alone, then get out of the house. Go for walks, get some Christmas shopping done, go over to a mates. Just, get out there in real life. Sounds as if you maybe should slow down the alcohol intake, but you won't get any preaching about it from me. Just, be smart, be safe, and get out and about.
And jc - there is a little boy inside every man. Nothing wrong with that.
