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.

This is my life except I have to work since I don't have a online or work from home job

@Mellowgirl How's it going? Is that by choice? I'm WFH due to covid atm but that won't continue forever.

@WeeWeeWeeAllTheWayHome it's really tough. I work part time and I hate it. The women I work with are cows. And the guy I'm working with is getting stroppy since I told him I may leave as they've already threatened "letting staff go!"

@Mellowgirl Argh. It's awful working with people you don't like.

@WeeWeeWeeAllTheWayHome tbh he's doing something to better his career with a course that he will eventually make more money with. I'm just wasting myself there.
