Maybe its just the decrease in sunlight or something, but in the last few minths I havent really been feeling myself. I dont feel like going out much anymore (mostly because i cant afford much), and when I do get out and about, I find myself keeping to myself a lot more than I used to. I just dont seem to have anything worthwhile to say, or start feeling anxious when friends bullshit with me. I feel like my jokes arent funny, or im boring them, and just wanna run away when people are all loud and carrying on. Its def weird, ive never had a problem socializing...

Am i just getting old? Depressed? Normal?

Nope- even better- you're going deaf!!

[Kuzsin]

Been going through this lately ....mine is depression. Lack of money has much to do with it...

you might want to clean up your diet, especially in the winter to avoid the winter blues. another trick is to go to a greenhouse of some sort and hang out with the plants and the bright lights. Sounds like it might be a bit of seasonal affective disorder.

Will you come out and have lunch next week? South Indian is good for the soul.

... I havent really been feeling myself. I dont feel like going out much anymore .

I usually DO feel myself when i don't go out (and figuratively as you used the phrase also, truth be told...)

Paul, i think it has a lot to do with lack of playing music lately. And yep, def going DEAF (what?)

Josh, im outta work at 11am and i think my gf is off sundays, so count us in for lunch (if its after 1pm)

LF, good idea about the plants and stuff...

Its like im becoming more "shy"...and it is starting to mess with me.

social anxiety...drink more smoke less.

its like you know me too well.

[capt_morgan]

...not sayin you do either of those...its just been my problem for years. add to that my annual winter depression, staying happy starts taking some work

[hoagie]

well I cant really drink booze too much, never agreed with me. But perhaps too much pimping is my problem...

[capt_morgan]

pimping and being social never worked for me...i just shut down and lose my wit

[hoagie]

you may have nailed this diagnosis, Dr Sketch.

[Terrapin Station]

Same here!!

When I when I'm out and about I always have a few beers to bring me to "normal".

Does that make sense?

its all about ur levals man.....levals

[nikkiblue]

money is almost always my issue.  I hate money. 

[sarah b.]

you sound depressed, cracker.

[hoagie]

Im not so sure, Sarah. I dont feel "depressed" just very anxious when im in conversation with anyone, recently, it seems. Sometimes even wen im just at home with the gf, and i start feeling weird because i feel i have nothing to say to her...even tho it doesnt matter, and she thinks i talk too mich anyway

Prolly puffing way too mich, and as I dont ever drink, maybe its messing with my socializationing

[capt_morgan]

you also live in jersey....and jersey is a horrible place to relax in. you need to step away from shit and learn how to live again. you prolly changed recently and havent had a chance to formally meet urself again yet

[Jwheelz]

I like to eat people rather than talk to them... quite tasty with a nice vinaigrette

[sarah b.]

if you're not driving, try some mike's black cherry iced tea. one does me just fine. lol.
