Being alone all the time

Anybody else spend literally 99% of their time alone? I thought this was what I wanted when I was really sick and thought everyone was trying to hurt me but the better my illness is I get more lonely.

My ex girlfriend just gohsted me after a super small argument about a joke. Now I feel alone and I’m too afraid to go out and be around people.

I guess my question is how do u guys who are alone all the time deal with loneliness…does it ever go away?

I’m sorry, that’s a sucky situation.

Are you afraid to go shopping? That might be an excuse to be around people if you could go.

Keep busy. Have variety in your day.

Turn on the T.V or listen to the radio.

The chatter will drown out your voices.

Some people like to be alone.

But if you’re thinking of it as a bad thing, I guess the outcome truly relies on if U make the change for it to go away.

Hope this helps.

date online…get to know them really well, then go to phones, then maybe after that you can meet someone to share your life with? that’s what I did.

I’m not alone now, but I was before when I was younger.

I feel for you because for me it was extremely difficult.

I found the only relief was to go out of my comfort zone and find ways to make some friends.

Maybe a pet can help if you don’t want to be around people. I’m alone most of the day every weekday but I have my dog and she keeps me company by sitting on my lap a lot and wanting me to play with her a few times a day.

I have difficulties around most people too because I don’t think they treat me right but bully vibe , supress , walk all over , disrespect and hateful while pretending to be nice (fake).

I agree a pet could help.

I have a dog.
Unfortunately he is old so I don’t know how I’ll cope when he dies.

Maybe a partner who can understand you so maybe someone who also has mental health issues and doesn’t want to go out amoung people either.

I have a boyfriend with mental illness.
He is very patient and understanding with me.
Thankfully :pray:t4:.

We tried to go to a musical once and had to leave after five minutes.

I told him I have to leave immediately need it be when out .

We don’t go out much but sit at home watching tv .

Even just walking my dog down steet is difficult when hateful vibes from people walking all over me etc and excluded from community etc

I don’t have friends as such .
Not as such to hang out with or chat etc

Thankfully this morning I met two nice people when I was out.
I’m their client customer and they are lovely thankfully.:two_hearts::pray:t4:

I am used to it

To the point where being with people is no longer my priority

I’m alone all the time. Sleeping and dreaming is the best part of life. I have a few good hours during the day, but the days are always too long, and I end up suffering with angst most days.
