[QUOTE="Andy, post: 281037, member: 5096"] Steely, You have lived through so much instensity these past many many years. Your body and soul is still looking out for the "adventure" which was really anxiety. You are so used to dealing with dramatic situations that every day life is actually boring. You need to find comfort/peace in your new lower than normal for you stressful days. You find that people will probably not understand your history because it would take too long to fill them in and they may not be able to handle the stress you have survived. I heard that one of my neighbors told a new neighbor that I like to keep to myself. That is not necessarily true. I want to be part of the crowd but I don't know how so I do end up quietly watching and occassionaly joining in but soon am at a loss to how to keep a conversation going. I have always been on the go but am now starting to settle down and enjoying the "quiet" non-stressful life. What used to seem so boring to me because it was not filled with action or me accomplishing something is now becoming my comfort zone. I think you have entered a "quiet" zone so quickly that it is hard for your body to slow down that fast. I would say continue to give it time. New friends and a new life style does take a long time to build. In the mean time, try to find some excitement. Are you interested in local sports teams - something to cheer for - something to get your emotions running in a healthy way? [/QUOTE]
