I'm thinking of becoming a recluse with only online and phone friends. Has anyone done this? How'd it work out?

I can get quite jealous & bitter.Being around people makes me feel worse. When I'm not around other people I feel a bit better because there's not as much to trigger those feelings. I've tried working on my life and tried things to manage or release the jealousness and bitterness but they haven't worked so it might be healthier for everyone if I didn't have irl friends.

Have you tried therapy? They might be able to help you work through some of that stuff

@Starchild1983 I've seen around 20 therapists and been in and out of therapy for 30 years. I've tried multiiple medications, been an inpatient and out patient, group therapy, art therapy, family therapy... basically a lot of therapy. Still feel this way and it makes me even more bitter that the therapy hasn't helped but for some people it has lol.
