I was told I was going to be alone in managed care, no spouse, no kids, no career, just a baseline existence. Not good enough for me, so I decided I was going to improve.
And then I improved.

I’ve been pretty isolated most of my life and it is hard to be optimistic about the future sometimes. I have been making more of an effort to connect with other people and it’s going okay, but not exactly great. I went to a knitting group in my town and even posting on here is kind of a step forward for me. I do feel lonely, but I’m trying to be okay with my own company in case things don’t improve for whatever reason. I mean, I do still really hope I won’t be as isolated in the future.

Being around people I end up giving things to inner critic to scrutinize.
Recently I have been thinking how much have I changed? What am I getting from these things? Which made me distance myself from social life.
Sometimes I think so because of stigma. Maybe a solitary life is the easiest way. I don’t know. But I don’t want to spend my life giving explanations or trying to apologize because of my mental illness.

I live a solitary life in a group home in general but not everyone with schizophrenia does.
I was just looking videos up on how to become a hermit
I worry about cracking up in public. I’d had the thought I should scream to get attention. I’ve adapted though. I hate it when people say join a club. What is a club? I don’t like AA. I’m one of those people though I wasn’t always. There’s a clubhouse in a nearby town I’ve never troubled to journey to. Soon it’ll be too hot to go. I would absolutely love to play a musical instrument in a group. I’m going to check out if a music store nearby has any info on that. I want to buy a octave mandolin.

I’m alone most of the time.
I don’t have friends to hang out with.
I’m uncomfortable with my family.
Trying to spend time with them today.
I feel they see me as a loser so look down at me and disrespect me which makes me uncomfortable being around them.
I’m an outsider.
I had to break up with my boyfriend I had because he ghosted me etc
He was the only one I spent time with.
I rather be alone than with people who don’t treat me right etc
Disrespectful, don’t love n value etc
Hopefully i will attract a better people into my life.

I agree. I have a very close friend. But she’s the only friend I have in the whole world.

To be honest, we are really not all that close. We talk on the phone a lot but she is so irritable a lot of the time that we just end up picking fights.
And she is so very depressed that when we are over at each others houses, we either just pass each other in the hallways and each do our own things side by side, or more likely, she spends all night and most of the day and evening asleep.
All of which amounts to no fun for me. But, I always manage to get all my stuff (prayers, reading, yoga, piano practice, volunteering, travel, Spanish study, etc…) done in spite of her. So, no loss on my part.
