I feel that my social interaction with people is a downward spiral through time. I am 25 and I feel that my social life is just getting worse year by year. When I was 10, I had quite many friends, I played with them and often stayed overnight. At 15 I had about 2-3 friends and some acquaintances from school. At 20 I had moved away and childhood friends were left behind, I only had acquaintances but I still got to hang out with them sometimes. Now, at 25 I have managed to learn socializing at university and work/business, but I have absolutely no close relationships with anyone. Once the business-talk is over, they go somewhere doing their own stuff and so do I - that is mainly my obsessive interests (which lead to nowhere without co-operating with others). I get along well with people but I just don't become close with them. For example, right now I need a place to stay for couple of nights in another town but I just don't feel like asking one of my acquaintances who live there.
I really feel anxious about the future. I imagine myself at 40 living alone in a forest and totally forgot how to talk to human beings…
Anyone gone through same feelings/experiences? How would you learn to trust people and start believing that they could actually like you? (I constantly feel like a third wheel and just being some weird follower which is because I'm pretty quiet and therefore I feel I don't entertain others enough that they'd like to hang out with me.)
