I feel increasingly isolated and alone

Hi being anti social over trust issues is a good thing my friend . I had 2 great friends before and they were so good to me I thought I couldn't last without them . I'm mostly on my own these days and I can relate about the isolation and connections what your looking for .
Do you know what that is over trust issues .
Your looking for a true friend and being around someone with normal conversations .
It's painful on your own at times .
Usually when your like that the mind can play tricks on you to drag you into a bog of self pity ( not taken away how you feel my friend )
When you have trust issues what you usually happens is the mind gets very cautious and suspicious and then the mind can tell you that your the bad person.
Your whole inside can come away from you with that thinking . You loose weight if you take it deeper but you have to learn how to control the thinking instead of the thinking controlling you .
The fears are either loosing huge attachments or after loosing them .
That's can bring up massive self loathing .
When the thinking is like that that's when the mind can get toxic.
That's if you take it that far .
That's my best answer about isolation and trust issues my friend

I hear you. It’s tough feeling disconnected, but you do exist, and you matter—even if it doesn’t always feel that way. If you’re working on yourself, I hope it’s for you first because you deserve that. Good friends stick around, even through life changes. If you ever need to talk, I’m here.

I wouldn't worry about stuff that hasn't happened yet aka drifting away from your friends .. and why feel unworthy? It's good to not trust everyone but it's nice to be optimistic and give people a fair chance before writing them and yourself off and being unfriendly .. try treating strangers as friends and they may end up as one in the end 🙂

We're almost alike although I don't have any friends. I was ostracized in my neighbourhood a long time ago and I've been estranged by previous people in my life. I just live for my daughter now. What interests do you have and is there anything that makes you particularly happy without depending on other people?

Working on yourself is good 😊 the rest will fall into place.

Trusting people is hard if you’ve been let down most of your life, isolation is a natural response.
