I just wondering whether anyone manages to go on holiday.
I'm a bit old to be going with my parents, and I don't really have anyone else to go with, so when I go its on my own. Last year I managed to go on a short break in the UK.
Its a bit of an ordeal at times, but at least it gets me out of the house, and there's that a feeling of accomplishment at the end.

I still go with my parents, because I'm in high school, so I still live with them. I love going out of town. It helps me take my mind off of my problems.

I always feel much better when I am in another town. My fear is that if I go out in my city and someone I know sees me. ( I know it is wierd ) But with people I don't know I don't seem to care. So when I am on holiday I can be myself. I've just went on holiday resently and it was amazing.

I definitely agree. I feel much more relaxed when I'm in a different city as the chances of meeting anyone that knows me is minimal, and if I make some sort of social 'mistake', it won't be the end of the world as I won't see these people again.

i get invited to go on holiday with friends but ther is noway i could b around them for at least a week, i would b panicin all the time coz ther is noway i could jus come home.
i went to america a few years ago to take a one month 3d animation course, i felt uncomfertable there and probably would had a lot of fun with the people there weren't it for my sa. they are cool people. nontheless it still was a positive experience. we went out to eat daily so that was cool and just being around those people was cool even though i had the feeling i was beeing judged negatively. it beats doing nothing for sure.
mabey i'll go on vacation on my own someday to some far away tropical place, i have lots i still wanna do, not sure if that fits my future but i wouldn't mind : )

I go on holidays overseas with my parents. There is no way I could handle the stress of it otherwise. Anyway I know people who still holiday with their parents at 21-22. I'm not too worried... yet!

I don't have to worry about that; my family has no money for holidays. We haven't been on one in about ten years, and the only family holiday I've been on wasn't even out of the country. I think I prefer staying in my house.

I don't have any problems going away on holidays by myself. Have even done some tours by myself. I seem to find it alot easier when I don't know the people and I can relax more as at the end of the holiday the chances are you will never see the people again.

Nothing stops me from going on holiday, used to go abroad twice every year, havent been in 2 years though. Not that long ago, in June my WHOLE family went on holiday..my cousins, my uncles, aunties, my grandparents, mum dad and sis, except myself because i had college to go to, and would of failed the course if i went along.
During the 2 weeks while they were away i felt really lonely, stayed in the house on the computer for the whole time while they were enjoying themselves. Hadn't spoke a word for 2 weeks, was going crazy.
EDIT : Just gonna add.. only trouble i have on holiday is making friends. When i was a little bit younger, sitting at the pool with my family, my sister used to make friends and because i was on my own, my mum always expected me to go make some, always telling me to go up and talk to the other kids, i just couldn't. I mean i wanted to, but felt as if something was holding me back.
