I am sorry. I feel you on that. :(

The belief in being completely alone might be what is causing the reality of the situation. Project into the universe what you desire. Believe in it with all your being. Take time and dedicate focus and introspection. See what starts opportunities begin to present themselves.

Gets that way sometimes doesn't it?
Do you have friends you can meet with?

Also, there's plenty of human company on here. I know it might not be what you need right now. But it means you're not as alone as you might assume.

Sorry @Markness :( *hugs*

@Gerontius I have a best friend irl but he’s been away at dog shows lately and I can’t go because of Covid.

Thanks Ed :) I’ll try to think about it more that way.
I do love the company of everyone on here honestly, sometimes I just wish I had someone to cuddle with or watch tv with or have dinner with. Not even necessarily romantic either, just a companion.

Starting to think about just making "alone" a voluntary way of life--if I can keep from being depressed (and the last weeks have been fairly good about that) then hey, I'm totally doing this.

I’m sorry @Streetwise :( Do you have anyone to talk to? And no, it’s not always completely bad, I guess… I’ve just never been able to share my life with anyone.

@Gerontius Maybe I should consider doing that too. I’m glad you’re less depressed though :)

If it's not what you need to do, then don't go alone!
Wish it was easier to have normal social circles in the Internet age but it is not.

I really do love everyone on here, don’t get me wrong! Sometimes I just wish it was easier to make friends irl. Most of my irl friendships have not worked out. It’s hard for me to meet people irl because I’ve been hurt so much and have walls up. Online it’s easier to be myself.
