My social circle is down to only one person
My roommate.
He's the only one I talk to in person anymore. I never made friends in AZ, just casual work acquaintances that didn't extend past work.
I'm used to not having a support system, I grew up in an extremely negligent family and had to raise myself and my brother. But back then I had school, which meant regular human contact.
These days, I'm an island. It worries me a little just because if I didn't have him (as problematic as he can be), I'd be in the streets. I mean that very literally. I have nowhere to go and no one to turn to. I remember a while back, roommate's daughter was casually remarking about how she doesn't like to make eye contact with homeless people. It rubbed me the wrong way but if course I didn't say sh*t. She's not my kid. But she has no idea that the person she's confiding that information to has been homeless (I lived in my car for a year once) and is very likely to be homeless again one day.
