Outside looking in..?

Saturday, December 13th, 2008

I suspect that it is a feeling we all get from time-to-time, whether it happens at a party, a family gathering or an online group, sometimes it just feels that we are on the outside of what is going on.  I noticed this with a virtual community, that at times I have been very active in, at the moment there either is nothing going on that interests me or I somehow just don’t get what is going on.

Common sense (and Occam’s razor) says that the simplest explanation is the most likely one; chances are nothing ‘out there’ has changed and it is just me.  The thing is that all the time that it is ‘just me’ then I guess I have the ability to change what is happening by changing what I do.

So often in life we blame others for our happiness or lack there of.  It can be tough to accept that we might be responsible for what is going on
