i don’t at all. i have my mom and we sometimes go out to eat or go somewhere and that’s it. coming here and a support group is a start though.
i sometimes come across wrong to people i think though. i can talk too much. because i’m so isolated i guess. i never in my youth was accused of talking too much.
you guys really help me. i feel less alone. 
I don’t have much going on socially. Tomorrow I’m taking an elderly relative to see an even more elderly neighbour who’s in hospital. That’s the extent of my Friday’s activities.
I don’t have them energy really for anything remotely interesting or exciting lol !
Being chatty is good !
I don’t go anywhere socially. I stay home by myself. 
do you have children everhopeful? i think it helps if you have children or a spouse.
chatty is sometimes good. But i am too impulsive when i talk and because i don’t talk a lot to others i just think i come across wrong…
me too for the most part…
No spouse or children. I’m actually grateful for that believe it or not ! 
who inspires me on here for being social is Tukey. I’ve read a little bit of her posts and tukey really is active and social. I’m not like that at all. She also has youth on her side too, although i think i thought she is younger than she is.
why do you say that? If you don’t want to answer you don’t have too.
I’d like a spouse. but it would have to be the right man.
i think it helps if you have a social family. do people have families that are quite social on here?
mine is small and lives far apart. It’s really just my mom and I. and no we aren’t.
Nah, I don’t too to much social, except online some. It drives me crazy too and feel lonely. I’m pretty awkward and delusional.
I’m socially isolated. I have no family or friends here in Arkansas where I live. My sister and her family live in Maryland. My only socializing happens at my psychiatric care provider’s activities center and at my volunteer job I work one day of the week. I’ve been a loner since childhood. I don’t have the gift of the gab, and usually sit quietly by myself.
i want social relationships but i struggle with them too. and to be honest i think a lot of people might not be the best friends to have anyways. But being social i do wish i did more of it. You probably do more socializing mike than i do. but i want to improve on it. The website and being around you guys helps me to want meet more people.
i went to a mental health support group and i felt out of place. hearing voices daily and struggling i didn’t fit in with people with anxiety and depression and ocd at all. i get it.
I’m thinking tonight that we need more love in our hearts. Sometimes it’s hard to love yourself with this disorder and then hard to love others. We need to try though and it can happen for us.
I occasionally go out with my cousins. Sometimes I go out with my family.
My kids would rather order in than eat in a restaurant.
My proctor and I usually just grab coffee and chat while driving around.
Every other Saturday my cousin and I go to the thrift store and for breakfast.
It doesn’t add up to much but at least it is something.
Group study, book club, language exchange meetup…etc. Not that I say I did them all together. My therapist sometimes get surprised that I have such an active leadershp. But I am poor at having casual conversations, poor social skills. I hardly know where the confidence comes from. 
No i don’t 1515
I mainly socialize through videogames. But I got invited to play dungeons and dragons by an old coworker and now I go out to play with them weekly!! Its helped a lot!!
Wow, thank you for thinking of me. I’m not really good socially but I like people!! I like the friends I have on here too! Support group is a great place to start making friends. Hanging out with your mom is good too and that counts. Sometimes when I feel lonely and everyone is busy, I come here to find company and there’s nothing wrong if that’s all you do. It feels good to meet people who can get your back though…
Sport is good. I still play competitive cricket and meet a lot of people through the cricket club. It’s healthy too as I have goals to perform better each year as I get older.
If your not into sport then hobbies are a good way to meet people. Most large cities have groups of people who get together to play games, do mutual hobbies etc.
