Ever feel lonely and anti-social at the same time?

It's like I really want company, but I don't want to be around anyone.

I'm always like that for some time now.

@SW-User How do you deal with it?

@WoodyAq My issue with people circles around not trusting them. There are 2-3 people I do trust. I surround myself with them. But it still feels lonely at times and that's because my real needs are not being met. I guess its a reason for me to feel low at times.

@SW-User Sounds familiar. What to do?

@WoodyAq I wish I knew. It seems like a hopeless problem for me at this point. I take this time to learn more about myself, introspect and be helpful to those I can add value to. It doesn't fill the void. But it helps.

We've been alone too long
Let's be alone together
Let's see if we're that strong
Yeah let's do something crazy,
Something absolutely wrong

@WoodyAq Thats beautiful. In theory. I do not know if that can really work in practice.
Because if we met someone who could get us this way.. we'd no longer be alone. And that is where the problem probably stems from.

@SW-User i'm starting to wonder if there is anything about me left to get.

@WoodyAq Hold on... I am sure to the right person there will be. In the meantime you try to do the best in understanding yourself.
