Lonely A Lot [I Like Being Alone But Hate Being Lonely]

I do love my alone time, but sometimes I hate the quiet.... Sometimes I need the noise of the people around me...Sometimes I get to much alone time... During the day I basically have the house to myself... Everyone else is at work... They all get home within an hour of each other... But even when I sit with them I kind of out of the loop... I'm on disability so I don't work... They have their jobs to talk about... I'm kind of left out... Not much happens in my world.. I clean house and take care of my three dogs... That is my day everyday.... Then I hop on here or facebook... Besides sitting on the porch with my niece my days are pretty routine... Not much changes day to day...

I feel for you, I know that feeling some. I live alone, work very odd swing shifts (useful when I work these shifts, but deeply know inside it perpetuates the feeling and the chances of being alone continued). I've been known as I love to read, but I am the quiet type often, and find being at home distracting to read (too many things I could tend to) I used to just go out to a pub to read a book. That became too routine after awhile and then the pandemic hit and the places I found becoming too routine became missed. I'd talk about work, with what family and friends I have, but my off time from work is escaping a job I don't always love.

I hope you find something. Like suggested before, maybe try a hobby or something?

@thewindupbirdchronicles Thanks I will see about finding something new to try though I have no idea what that will be...
