logophile said:Sorry that I struck a nerve. Yes I was complaining because I was going to be alone for a weekend. I know there are worse things. My daughter could develop gangreen. My ex could run me over with the car. The congress could declare a military emergency and lift our presidential term limits.
But I don't like being alone. So I was talking about it. Hope you're having a better day today.
I agree, I don't think there's anything wrong in that. I wish I could always talk about my feelings of - aloneness. I feel ridiculously privileged but I don't think one should feel shame about feeling down in the dumps sometimes regardless.
Being a fellow logophile - perhaps you could spend your time perusing the dictionary for some gems? Or just repeating one especially delectable word to yourself. Like plinth. Or smock. smock smock smock smock....
