Im a very introverted person, have almost no personal relationships outside of work and family and feel like sometimes im going to regret a lot of decisions i have made later on in life but i also dont really see a way out.
I think i posted here last year and asked for advice about finally moving out of my parents place (im 31 male), which i did and that has actually been the best thing i have done for myself in years. I love my parents but they are the most miserable people to be around in the world as they basically hate each other, my mom dont work anymore and has COPD from smoking (she did quit) and my dad is pretty much the type that eats sleeps and works and doesn't have a single hobby to speak of or a ounce of passion about anything. This and my introverted-ness (is that a word? who the fuck knows) has lead me to a point where i dont really have anyone meaningful in my life. I could not be trying hard enough but i also feels like most of my relationships are one sided.
Problem is besides them, my boss and my one co-worker thats the extent of my active social circle. My parents are constantly remodeling something on there damn house and asking for help (i work plumbing and HVAC) and i feel like its a pretty one sided relationship. I mean my mom insits she cook for me almost everyday and im grateful but they have never once visited me since i moved out and its been over a year. I get the impression from that they dont approve somehow, my mom even said she was trying to get me out of my "shell" for years but shes in her own how they fuck would she know?
My job im pretty good at but it dose tend to run me into the ground. Which means when i am off im pretty tired and dont want to do anything anyways. I wouldn't really consider changing it though as the pay is decent for central PA. I also have heart probles on top of it all, im ok could be worse, but it cant help things either and dose cross my mind more then i would like.
Anyways im rambling, but it felt good to type this out.
TLDR: How the fuck do i get out of my rut and be more sociable and find relationships that dont seem one sided. I try sometimes but im also not a total dolt and realize when im the only one making phone calls that im not wanted. Also this area sucks, so its not like i can just go places other then bars as i live in Pennsyltucky. Thanks for any advice!
