I graduated from college in 03'. Since then, I've gotten a teaching job and I live on my own. It's really boring and I talk to my cats too much. I have a few friends, but none that I would consider close. I'm a very reserved person. I kind of feel like I'm wasting my 20's by keeping to myself like this. I want to get out there and do something with my life, but don't really know how. I have a boyfriend that will soon be a fiance, but it's long distance so he can't really provide any boredom relief on any kind of regular basis.

Well you seem to be open to suggestions which is a great quality and something a lot of people lack. I would sugest joining some kind of program of activity outside of work, seeing that the only people you get to spend a lot of time with at work are students and other teachers (and lets face it,most teachers aren't packing up their notes and clip boards at the end of the day to go home and prep for the motley crue concert..)I would suggest joining some kind of class/sport. that initial step is the hardest but once you get passed it youll be much happier.

Kate Kate Kate, sweetie you are in a rut,I think you need to get out more and socialise, you say your b/f or soon to be fiance is long distance and doesn't provide boredom relief on a regular basis.
Have you heard of phonecalls? Sure I'm jesting but golly we all make our own beds to lay in,(so to speak) so YOU have to lift your game sweetie.
We only get one chance on this earth, so make the best of it, if that means joining friends etc on night outs or similar then so be it...I question soon to be fiance is he going to be nearer if not , why not, from my experience long distance relationships rarely survive,,,
Only you can change the way things are, so good luck in seeking happiness....â¥

You might try enrolling in a class, joining a bowling league, joining a gym, attending a bible study or joining a church choir.
How about volunteering at something, what are you good at that you can share. You mentioned cats, how about training a therapy pet, cats might not be the best at this but maybe you like other animals. Give it a try. The best way to feel fulfilled is the fill the needs of others.
Good luck to you.

I feel like I am in a similar boat to you. The one thing that I can say for both of us is that upon keeping touch with friends we already have, we should branch out and try some activities that we have wanted to do... find a place where we can do it or some other people we can do it with.. and then you will meet friends who like doing the things that you are interested in.

Go take sky diving lessons,and scuba diving lessons.Your young enjoy life, talking to cats isn't very social.If you are a teacher you must be very intelligent,and should know being couped up in a house is not cool.Join a social activities club that is adventurist.Good luck go have fun with your life.

try to be better friends with the friends that you already have. Ask them if they want to go do something sometime. It could be anything that you like or have in common with them.
I sometimes too feel like I am in the same boat. I just don't wait for someone else to call. I make sure that I am the one who calls them.
