lonely

Was reading my friend's blog regarding he travelling somewhere far alone for shopping (well, from Liverpool to Manchester, how far is it? I dont know).. I felt the same when I was reading his blog, not that I travel that far in Melbourne, but often I go out dining, shopping myself,and that is the case most of the time. May be 1 in 20 times I will have the mood to take the initiative of asking people to accompany me. This is because in the past I was put off by not asking the right person at the right time to do something that we both interested in. Not to mention a lot of my friends are living in the city, and have family member or bf/gf around. So a bit odd to hang around with them all the time.

I tot it was just me that is strange. Coz I can never be like others, have close friends and can hang on the phone every night. Think I am getting used to being alone, alone and alone.This is not a good phenomenon, as I can find that my social skill is going downhill (yeah, it is not that great to start with too).

What shall I do to improve? any suggestion?
