How capable are you of making yourself happy? (No innuendo folks, please..)

Seriously - I stopped to think about it the other day and realised how mostly I rely on my friends and my family etc. If I was on my own and wholly responsible for myself - then.. it'd be different. I think this is all sparked by my recent birthady making me think about everything in a slightly pretentious way.. But - nothing's going to change unless I make it. Nobody's going to tell me what to do, where to go. I have to decide.  I think I had a romantic vision when I was younger (too many of the wrong books and films) that I'd meet some guy and travel the world with him. But - why don't I decide to travel the world off my own bat?

I'm very good at saying NO if I don't want to. But on the opposite end of the scale I'm sometimes bad at coming up wtih ideas. I will fritter a weekend reading and sleeping and unless I really think about it, won't summon up the oomph to go and do something by myself. That's bad.

bleurgh, This is the worst sort of self-indulgent outpouring - apologies. But  anyway. There it is.

I think you HAVE to be able to make yourself happy as a fundamental step to opening yourself up to someone else making you happy.
You should never be in a position where you rely on someone else to make you happy - not only does it put tremendous pressure on them, but also, you will ultimately end up feeling constantly disappointed. Whether that's for friends or a boyfriend.
Making yourself happy is the most important thing in the world - call it selfish, but I don't care.

I wish someone would just get on with it and bottle oomph. I say, make a list and then stick to it. That's what I say.

If lounging around all weekend makes you happy, then surely you make yourself happy? At best I get the oomph to go out with friends, but that's mainly it. Oomph is overrated.

I have no idea. I've never been on my own and I've never had to find out. I don't think I could if I had to. I too would depend more upon my friends and family. I'm sure if you go for it you won't regret it, though. Book some travelling - you wouldn't be the first to travel alone.
