I messed up my big chance to have friends. Someone was interested in being a friend and had a lot of connections. I was rude to him one day. That was over a decade ago. There is a place mentally ill people meet I can go to if the heat is not bad. My question is, do I really need others? Is there anything to be found in being alone? Many people have been wondering, what do you think, what is your experience? Mine is it very, very slowly gets better over time. I don’t like TV enough to watch it alone. And I play a couple of musical instruments, it should be easy to find people to jam with, right?

I think humams are social animals. The saying no man is an island really holds true…its like a bird wont be happy if it doesnt fly. People arent happy when theyre not connected with others. Even if its not physically but just thinking of others…we need thay connection of love to survive.
Thay being said, solitude is very powerful…
I think the best thing is solitude but in constant rememberance of loved ones and working to help humanity etc… we need to be connected but not neccesarily physically basically.
I have an aunt I call every few weeks and it helps both of us.

i need people
just enough that would make me feel guilty to die
but i also feel guilty to leave my dogs with strangers
Yes we are social creatures.
Weekends can be hard for me considering I live alone.
But I need people in my life so I don’t just sit around depressed all day.
Have you heard of PSR or Psychosocial Rehabilitation?

The only person I hang out with is my boyfriend on weekends.
Most of the time I’m alone with my dog in apartment watching tv.
I would love to have friends to hang out with or chat with.
I volunteer worked with boomerang girls and they invited me to go to the pub with them and I said no I don’t drink alcohol.
That was probably a opening to be a friend outside of volunteering.
Such lovely girls and we had same morals I think and I enjoyed chatting with them.
I nolonger volunteer there as I couldn’t work independently.
Make yourself needed and you’ll never walk alone again.
How do you achieve that?
Become a great storyteller. People like good stories.
Or
Become a great listener, involved and compassionate. People don’t get listened to enough.
Or
Touch people’s hearts through your music.
Or
Master a craft, become an electrician, plasterer or cook. It doesn’t have to be rocket science, but people will want to know your phone number.
You may combine more than one skill of course.
