Isolation and loneliness

This seems to follow me through life .
I make sure I'm in my own zone but to the extent that I'm alone at times.
Seems to be an impossible balance.

I work part time in a public place but that's just like being invisible as far as connecting.
Is this the standard trap

A Locum doctor said to me I was cutting myself off obviously he knew nothing about my life ever thought about going to a support group for aspergers I found the address and telephone number for another member who lives in the states couldnt manage to do it now
 
I sympathise. The thing is that... you're trying. You really do. It's just never enough.

Apologies. In a rather melancholic mood tonight.
 
I'm often told it's bad to try and relate to someone's problems (belittles thair own struggles in some way)

But I think it's important to feel the way you're feeling at this moment and understand it's necessary to have a existential crisis more then once. What I'm reading is you've recognised something is wrong, alot of people seem to never explore outside thair comfort zone or try to push through it without resting\thinking.

All this as the saying goes builds personality - so accept things are bad and may not get better for awhile, see where you can channel some emotion\thoughts try Music, Drawing, Build a PC, Write short storys.

sigmund freud uset to think thoughts and feeling acted like electicity, when you ignore them they build up a charge and cause problem. They have to go someware so channel them into something.

Might be a little off topic but you sound hurt. Freinds will come to you when you're ready and sometime you have to step back to find them.

It really is a catch twenty two!

The facts are that humans need human interaction; but life throws many nasty things and disrupts the flow and why we feel caught in a horrible situation.

Being surrounded by people who do not care, just forces that isolation on to us even more.
 
Maybe you're meant to find the right people to be friend's with. Quality over quantity. Why would you want to be friends with people you have nothing in common with, and can't relate to? You will just try to change yourself to "fit in" with them, and feel miserable when you fail to fit in...
 
I do the same, I am a teacher so I have to be social, but other than my work time, I am basically a loner, even when others are around. I can understand what you are going through and it's a very lonely way to be.

Yeah, I kind of feel better in my own company, once I notice the trends. What I mean is, there will be a certain number of pleasantries, then it will devolve into trying to delve deeper, and then gossiping. I'm left asking myself why social rituals are without a fail like this.
