Don't enjoy time by myself.

[jennyjen02]

As it is now the summer holidays, I've been inevitably spending time on my own, in the house, out and about, wherever.

I've been trying to get to know myself a bit better, and start to love myself, but I just get so bored being on my own. Even reading or music practice. It's not so much that the experience would be more fun if I was with other people, I just feel like I don't want to be on my own.

Not quite sure what my question is! Should I just stick it out and try to enjoy doing things on my own? I think it goes hand in hand with my fear that I'm going to end up alone.

Sorry forgot to ask, do you live on your own or with parents?

[jennyjen02]

Haha. I live with my mum. I'm at uni usually but have finished for the holidays. I've tried and tried to get a job but it's so difficult. Spend a lot of days job hunting and handing out cv's.

Do a bit of volantery work and meet people.

Hi jenny,,,,did you say that you were a medical student....which Med School?

[lil123]

Do you enjoy reading self help books? I can suggest a few that really helped me as I love my own company now as well as round people x

[jennyjen02]

Self help books would be okay!

Sqad - would rather not be specific since I don't want to give too much away, as I think I've already mentioned in other posts what year I'm in, but it's a medical school in Scotland!

Thanks for the answers so far.

[jennyjen02]
