I Fight Depression and Loneliness Everyday

I don’t have any friends, because I don’t really try to make any. I’m very isolated and it’s all my own doing. I try to numb myself to the loneliness, by drawing, cooking, watching movies, playing games and listening to music. I make all kinds of excuses to avoid anything social. The only time I leave the house is to go to work, walk my dogs or get food shopping.

((hugs)) Do you have social anxiety? It is very difficult for me to make friends and be social, so I totally understand.

It’s a combination of that and depression. I’ve had a hard time making friends for as long as I can remember. @SW-User

@Chaosforthefly I completely understand. I also struggle with depression.
