i can't relate to people anymore.

I tried to be social for a while but didn't feel like I was really connecting with anyone, wasn't really enjoying myself, seemed to be doing a lot for other people but didn't feel like it was reciprocated. After a while, I just stopped being social. Now I'm lonely. So i guess my options are being a lonely hermit or enmesh myself in shallow relationships with people who don't care about me.

Or find friends who are caring like you!

@Carazaa find them where?

@blindbobIt depends what you like to do. Talk to people and introduce yourself in coffee shops, or where ever you go fore instance while hiking, skiing, in bookstores, church prayer groups, or at any hobby
activity. What are your hobbies? I like to hike, ski, pray, so I like friends who do that too. I also invite lots of people for dinner. Its a great way to socialize.

You'll find good friends eventually! I invite people to do things with me if I like them!
