Have isolated myself from EVERYONE in my life....no contact.

My friend, you cannot out run mental anguish It happens within you. The best option is to be with people. People who cares for you. Don't live alone.

Seek help. Don't shy away from speaking to someone.

My friend we all have social anxieties that’s normal, but you have to find the people that suits your spirit.
I isolates a lot myself . I’m doing it a long time , but I’m ok with it .
See I’m after experiencing a lot in life at my age . I’d prefer these days to live like a monk 😂😂😂. See the live away from everyone and I’m after learning with monks all they have to deal with is themselves . There away from everyone . See what brings on the anguish in the monks what I think are strong temptations . I say they get savage temptations if there trying to lead a good life .
I prefer to be away from outer world myself personally cause it’s all based on image not humility .
All that bull shit image .

Social dysfunction.......mental problems.........aren't tied to an address. Where you live is not the problem.

That’s a hard way to live. I like being by myself a lot, I don’t see many people and have very little family left.

I do go to the store and do my own things that needs to be done. Actually more people know me than I know them. I can chat to them in a store but never invite them to my place. ( it’s clean and well taken of but just don’t want to get close to anyone now.

At times it is a much needed thing to do.

It bites because at some point people get settled down, maybe late 20's, and it is like they do not have room nor time for anyone new.

It's like we sometimes try to reach out or make new friends but it never goes anywhere.

Even when someone from our past decides to try to get back in touch, it is usually too little too late.

no... that's not how it works
phone has to be turned off

It is great that you are trying new things to help yourself.

You thought that isolation would help. It appears it hasn't for you.

What are you going to try next - you know you want to get more comfortable - what ideas do you have or where are you going to go to get some ideas?

It is wonderful that you are trying things - Keep Going!!!

Best of Luck:)

Hi ,

You are not alone.

From time to time, I struggle with loneliness and need to escape from the craziness of life.

I have started to appreciate little things.
Walks ... hikes...drives... photography are my thing.

Find something that makes you happy.
Seek help, find someone who understands you.

They will find you if they really want to.

Voice of experience here. Situation is do they really want to? It's not always the case, which has always been my case. Even in the open.

You can be alone, in any crowded environment. Sadly learned that in highschool.

Isolated Schmisolated get out there and mingle! There's no herpes like schmoherpes!
