Why do I always feel guilty about this?

Question

At the store where I work there were these two kids that were temporary summer workers. And I got along with them fine, we weren't close friends, because I'm a quieter sort of person but I never had any problem with them. Now they're leaving and for whatever reason its just hit me really hard, its like its the end of something, I'll probably never see them again, and its just like, here you go again, your whole life is just a never ending story of missed opportunities. Its like I feel guilty for not getting to be good friends with them. This happens all the time. I try not to get attached, but I can't help it, as hard as I try. This is going to sound idiotic but its like having a midlife crisis at 20.

Answer 1

aww your such a nice person.=D.But you gotta learn that people come and go.Yes it difficult at first.but you will get used 2 it.Just think you never knew them but you will still go on.your goal is to succed in life.so dont worry.it will heal eventually.hope i helped.=D

Answer 2

Its normal.  We get attached to people and animals and objects.  Separation always brings some kind of trauma.  If it continues into the next after they leave...you might have deeper issues--seek professional help.

Answer 3

Start my letting go of the past. Don't feel guilty about the missed opportunities. They're over and there's nothing you can do to change it. I know you'll probably ask how, but just let go. It's really that simple; just decide to let go and you will.

Now that the past is gone, focus on the future. Next time your work hires new employees, say hi right away. Ask where they're from, where they go to school, what they major in, ect. Have a mental list of questions ready. Teach them how to do stuff to make conversation. Ask them to do something after work, even if it's just going to Friday's for dinner. Get AIM's, be friends on Facebook and just put yourself out there. Friendly, open people often has the most friends.

At 20, you should have learned that life is going to be full of

'Hellos' and "Good-byes', and you just have to be prepared to deal with them.

Why do you feel sorrow for not engaging people who didn't interest

you enough when they were there?
