I think it is okay to feel worried/upset about that stuff. I definitely identify with what you're talking about in this post because I go through the same type of mental freak out whenever changes are happening. Like the end of a school semester, or changing seasons, or a major holiday--it makes me think about what I've been doing with my time and then I realize that hey, it's summer and everything is still...not good. I still feel isolated/lonely/unsatisfied and I have no idea what to do about it.
I don't really know if you want people to comment on this/etc., but I guess what I'm saying that I understand where you're coming from. Whenever I get like that I feel like the only person on the planet who is feeling that way, when there are probably tons of introverted-type people going through the same thing. Especially now that I don't live with my parents or in a dormitory, but in an apartment away from campus, I will run into other university-aged people doing things and I'm like, why do I never do that? Why is my everyday life so empty of other people?
All my roommates have steady relationships, and I haven't really had that for a couple years, so I think about all the people/men I know and I'm like, okay, do I have to wait for this to fall out of the sky or something? How do I make these things happen? Sometimes I really want a more vibrant social life, but most of the time I'm okay with working really hard at school and just writing stories. It kind of goes back and forth. I try to remind myself that everyone goes through periods like that, and eventually it doesn't matter to me as much. I hope that helps?
