    I don't have any friends either although not by choice ( billy no mates ) I only speak to my neighbour and the housing warden that calls around once a month.

    There's been so many responses that are either heart warming or heart breaking and I just wanted to say I love you all so much!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ I won't spam by responding to everyone individually but thank you, so so much, just reading the replies from you all made me smile and feel a bit better and less of an issue

    It's comforting to know other people get it, but I'm so sorry so many people are feeling lonely too 🙁

    I think it's always amplified around this time of year, when everyone is talking about plans and get togethers and the internet is flooded with present hauls, celebrations and stuff. I'm my own worst enemy as well, because I LOVE seeing what people are up to and get so much enjoyment from seeing and hearing about others being happy, like truly I love it - but in the quiet moments I know I feel terribly lonely too

    I have very few friends, it's partly my own fault because I allow my health to dictate for example because I can't handle too much change or interaction in a short time frame I panic and shut off causing people to walk.

    Partly others fault as they often don't even try to understand or make the effort like I do.

    It wasn't always that way oddly twenty years ago I had a lot of friends, but according to some they were not my friends but users, but that doesn't stop me missing them very much.

    Although I like my space and struggle immensely to socialise I am very scared and frightened of my future and admit it.

    I often speak to people in person by text to speak or messages, writing things etc they just think I'm intentionally being funny.

    next year as unwell as it'll certainly make me I'm going to attempt to completely change and overhaul 40 years of virtual mutism and force myself to be normal hopefully I'll get somewhere.
