I am bored out of my mind everyday bored bored bored.

I don't have a boyfriend I don't have kids I'm 36 the new people I met at work majority of them have kids that's where they spend their time.

there's only so many times I can go out to eat but I do like 5 times a week so I can get out of the house and hang out at the coffee shop for hours.

what do you do to fulfill your life, what do you do to keep yourself busy, what do you do to have a life

We may be different ages but really single life isn't so bad for me anymore. I got comfortable with it.

I taught myself how to play an instrument, I make singing videos, I take selfies. Yes, selfies entertain me (I'm an Aries so that's like...duh) Editing photos entertains me. I read a lot, I study a lot of astrology and make friends online, Tarot cards, I paint, I go on Netflix binges, I eat, I work out, I sleep, I cut my hair, restyle it, dye it new colors...I cut other people's hair, restyle it, dye it new colors lol. I go shopping. Sometimes when I have enough, I travel.

I love being single, I can do whatever I want to do when I want to do it. I'm sure there are women there you like you can befriend. Having even a few friends who are also single and whatnot makes everything a lot more bearable than if I were on my own.

Go out with friends. It really depends on you and what you like to do. Go on a hike or walk a new trail. Take a pottery class. Learn to enjoy YOU. It's easier said than done, but the grass only looks greener on the other side.Make-up classes. Cooking classes. See a random movie. Harass random folks in the bar. Strike up a conversation with a total stranger. Go sky diving. There's so much to take advantage of, but you won't enjoy any of it if you don't appreciate what's around you instead of being sad about what you don't have. Take this time to get to know you and to enjoy making decisions for you.

I'm significantly younger than you cherful and my aim and goals are to get my career jump started. Occasionally I do feel lonely and ugly and fat an all those things, but I keep in close contact with a few friends on Skype as I don't really have friends where I am. Just have colleagues.
Right now my time is spent catching up on sleep missed during the week, talking to people on Skype, reading random things, learning a little bit of Horary astrology, learning more about my area of interest, writing applications for my master's, occasionally visiting my grandparents, finding ways to make up the shortfall from my shite job. Going out is really not an option for me over here. Oh and marathoning series, watching artistic gymnastics on YouTube and going on my elliptical when I'm not ill (been ill far too often here).
I do feel lonely, but at this point in time a relationship would definitely not be practical or healthy for me. I do miss being with men I loved, don't be mistaken, I just have other priorities right now.

Oh Cherful I know what you mean. I'm 39 and don't have a boyfriend either. I have a great family and friends. For me, I try to focus on my job and those that I have in my life. I'm fortunate enough to have a little niece to spend time with. I also make a point to call friends and make plans as often as possible. I try not to turn down any social engagements, even if it's just to grab a cup of coffee. I try to find pleasure in whatever I'm doing. Even if it's just catching up on tv shows on a Saturday night. I've also joined something called meetup.com. It's free and basically it's all sorta of activities with people for things you are interested in. There are book clubs, movie clubs, cooking clubs etc. I admit I haven't been to a group yet, still exploring everything but there are tons of groups for just about every interest you may have. Might be worth a shot to try it out. Hope this info helps and I get where you're coming from!

There are a lot of things to do.
If you miss the sense of safe touch, volunteer a few hours at an animal shelter.
Local libraries usually have activities. If you become a regular there people begin to greet you and acknowledge your existence. Also a good place to volunteer.

Check out the metaphysical shops for activities many by donation. Drumming, gong therapy, lots of things on a regular schedule.

That way you get into a routine.

Nursing homes need you and you can get safe touch there while giving some.
Drumming is an activity I love.

Video games!
Find a hobby and do it. If you've always wanted to learn to play an instrument you can even find a teacher online to teach you via a website or live video.

There has to be stuff you're interested in doing. Travel alone. You may think it's sucky but sometimes it's the best because you don't need to worry about other people being happy to enjoy your getaway.

- Find a hobby, sport, craft you like.
- Volunteer, anywhere! It can be anything from helping the homeless to being a docent at a museum.
- Get a part time job. My brother used to work as a sous-chef only because he loved to cook. He only did this at "good" restaurants so he could learn.
- Go to night school either for a degree or just to learn something you are interested in... astrology?!
