> I never really have to think about a guy pretending to be my friend because he wants to have sex with me...
Guys don't pretend to be friends to sleep with girls. Guys are friends with girls but also want to be more than that. It's usually when the guy realises that the friendship consists of them giving whilst getting nothing in return that they decide to end it.
Also, the friend who said this to you isn't much of a friend. Eric Berne wrote a rather good book called Games People Play that although quite hard to digest explains the sort of behavior your "friend" is engaging in.
The only thing that seems unclear to me is how your physical energy may be interacting with your mental energy. Lethargy and lack of energy is something that is often accompanied with feelings of depression but the way you're describing it, it seems more that you're just tired and don't have much time due to your schedule. That is very different from the former!
There's no one solution, but one growing field that I am very interested in is mindfulness. It's basically a totally new way of relating to your own thoughts and feelings in a non-judgmental and kind way. It has a lot of therapeutic applications, but it also has a physical component including yoga and lots of meditation. It's something that will take time and months of practice and training, but once you do...countless people have stated it's totally changed their lives and how they perform activities and respond to stress, and even feeling like they have freed up more time to do things. It's very interesting.
I can recommend a starting book, by the father of mindfulness himself: Jon Kabat-Zinn
I'm kinda concerned for you that you think he was behaving normally and you just didn't like it because you're "not cut out to have a SO" or "set it your ways." This guy came on way too strong, to the point that I'd be really concerned about how he might behave with a girlfriend.
I'm worried that if you ever do set your mind to getting a boyfriend, you might end up in a dangerous situation because you'll blame red-flag behavior on "oh, I'm just weird and don't like the way guys behave." A book a lot of people recommend to help with this is The Gift of Fear—I've read it and I thought it was really good. Good luck!
Did bodyscan and sitting meditation today. Bodyscan I tried to relax as much as possible to the point I was practically asleep, that's hard for me since I tend to fixate on "doing things right" ... also bought wind chime and forest sounds, and the sound of summer rain (both off Amazon) to help relax. Also will be incorporating color therapy as blue light helps relax me, using LED candles (http://amzn.com/B00B1BSAOA.) I got through almost the whole metta meditation, up until the neutral person, I just can't do meditating on people I don't like yet.
Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling.
She had a FA-ish youth, but the more salient point is the whole book is hilarious and uplifiting. I'd highly recommend checking it out.
Just read The Bees By L. Paul (http://www.amazon.com/Bees-Laline-Paull-ebook/dp/B00FJ3CM7M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1413904606&sr=8-1&keywords=the+bees) and by 'just read', I mean I stayed up till almost 3am and then finished the book before going into work. :) It was interesting, the protagonist is literally a worker bee in a honeybee colony.
I found out about this book on Amazon, I don't know if the situation still applies to the author, but this author said she was still single by age 25, without ever having a boyfriend before, here is the link for it:http://www.amazon.com/Never-Have-Ever-Life-Without/dp/1455544671
Apparently in her latest book she writes about her early life. I only heard about her on the CBC radio at some point, and from the locals when I was passing through that region where she lives. I haven't read her books yet but I will look for them... this topic just reminded me again that she existed.
