Is there anything to be gained from -

Is there anything to be gained from living alone? I rarely see people unless you count the cashiers. There must be something wrong with me.

Nothing wrong with spending much time alone. You could call it a side effect from the meds and illness.

But if you miss being around people maybe join a mental health club or something. Sometimes I will go to a mall just to be around people. It helps.

The only person who is happy is a person who is content with self.

I wish I had more time alone lately. I feel crowded in all areas of my life. Kind of envying your solitude @Jinx.

Although content to be on my own to a large degree, I would miss my chosen family greatly if I was to never see them again. They mean more to me than words can say. Even before the falls and the reduced mobility I had given up on trying to widen my social circle. A typically disastrous attempt to socialise was the straw that broke the camel’s back. The group at the library that I’ve spoken about here on several occasions. I’m not prepared to risk any more rejection, and the hurt that goes with it.
