[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry to be harsh, but you sound a bit whiny. It's no one else' job except your own to make you happy. You only have one life. Try to make it a happy one, with cozy Holiday traditions. Maybe include service to others. Our most cherished tradition is going out in early December to cut down a Christmas tree. We bring thermoses of hot chocolate and bring the dog. It seems so simple, but it makes us happy. [/quote]

This is fair, don’t be sorry! We do these things though, I swear. We are used to being alone and we have gone through a good streak of being happy with it.[b] I make the mistake of thinking I’ll handle the rejection ok and then I regress and become whiny and upset about it all over again, despite having done many years of work to be ok with it.[/b] I need the tough love responses like yours. Thanks.[/quote]

OP that means you're human. You're not an automaton. Also, emotions/thoughts ebb and flow through our lives.

When this happens to me, I get really curious about what it means. It may be insightful. Why is this coming up now? Even if the answer doesn't solve anything, the awareness is helpful.
