It is difficult to give advice. You live in Finland. It's a small place you live in. It is impossible for you to meet people of like minded interests unless you move to a city. Otherwise you will obviously have to find some other way to be happy.
Sorry. |
How is that true? |

Seriously. How isn't it true? I'm sure all opinions are welcome.

Rap and R&B are way more popular in my closest city, so I certainly ain't going to find like minded people there.

True. It is probably the same nearly anywhere but more people = more chances to find like minded people.

I've found a couple of like-minded friends at non-cities, which should be more than enough for anyone.

I think his requirements might be too strict...

I think it would be a lot more helpful of you to send a gun than to give such blatant and obvious advice. Make new friends? What the kind of an advice is that?

I'm sorry to laugh at your misery but this is incredibly funny.

I'm the same way. I have a very small circle of very close friends, most of them i;ve known since age 6. We will always enjoy our company, but i'm pretty much the "music nerd". I lack a lot of similarities with them, and it seems they tend to drift away sometimes.
I enjoy being alone, but it wears down you eventually.

Off topic, but I had two unlikely prog experiences at work today..
1) I was having a coffee with an IT support guy in the cafeteria today, and Mike & the Mechanics came on the radio (Living Years) He rolled his eyes and said, when you think of all the great music Genesis made, all you ever hear on the radio is the drek that the individual members made. A bit harsh, I thought, but it did launch us into a discussion about Genesis and prog rock. Interestingly he said he really liked Pendragon and Marillion, but had never heard the term 'neo-prog'
2) Roughly an hour later, I took a package over to our shipping dept, and the packing room guy - again, who I'd known for years - was blasting out 'Seconds Out' on the stereo.
A good day for prog rock at my work place. Mind you, it is crawling with nerdy scientists... 
Anyway..back on topic..slightly..it goes to show there are those out there, who appreciate our music. Seek and ye shall find.

There's nothing wrong with wanting more for yourself, but 'always' wanting more, could mean that you're never happy.
You need to look at the reasons why you always want more.
True fulfillmenmt may never be within your grasp, if you are pre-disposed to never allowing it to be. You may find that you are looking for something that doesn't exist, and if that is the case, the earlier in your life you realise this, and accept it, the more time you will have to appreciate what you do have.
In any case, I wish you happiness.
Edited with less potentially offensive language..
