Honestly Jonny, this is great. Just taking a look through all the responses just shows you do have great mates - through here. Even if you look at what you've written, all its about is a subtle change in your mindset, which can happen in a heartbeat. As an example:
1. Not drinking - absolutely a positive thing to do. As others say you can still enjoy a night out w/o drinking
2. Stressing at work - I actually believe this is because internally you care about your job, alot. And so you should. You make a difference to that company and other people that buy that stuff.
3. Caring about money is a good thing. If you didn't care, then you wouldn't have all the nice shit you have and be able to talk to us on here.
4. Never seeming satisfied. That's desire right there. All your missing is goals to push for. Desire in life is hard to come by so don't lose that attitude. Be the best, at everything.
5. Shyness. You can use this to your advantage in lots of scenarios like others have said such as finding women. Confident, extrovert people don't always get everything. Life doesn't work like that.
TV - i agree with you, TV is abit crap lately. Maybe go back to watching your best ever TV series or films as that always gives yourself a great feeling.
Football - well, can't help you there if your a Liverpool fan [emoji6] . Football desire does waiver as you get older, thats just natural as you get more level-headed. Maybe finding key games to look forward to and sharing it on here may help for some friendly banter. Just don't expect me to say nice things about Liv [emoji38] .
Finally Gaming - I'm sure lots of reasons why you played CoD was because who you played it with. I was abit gutted i missed this, but this community made me get a ps3 after having a ps4 just cos we could gave a laugh. This is still here, sometimes it does just need a little effort to get things co-ordinated and going.
I can relate to a few things like the last so use the great guys on here to work at some realistic goals to help you regain focus on the fact you have a great life, great mates on here and great attitude.
Thanks for sharing Jonny, have a think about what night you're free to do a BO2 night on ps3 and we'll get it going! [emoji6]
