No i used to be lonely. Where i would spend my last few quid in a bar for the company. Now i couldnt give a toss. Im happy with my own company - and i havent got people trying to rinse me, and the bank balance is alot healthier.
Associating with other alcoholics in a bar all day wasnt good for me anyway.
I can go a week without seeing a soul.

i think a better word in my case is isolated actually, 50, 50.
cos loneliness suggests i want to interact with ppl irl atm but the reality is i dont cos of anxiety.
if that makes sense

No I never get lonely anymore. But thatās only thanks to Don Juan.
If it werenāt with Don Juan I may be lonely at times. But fortunately donāt really have to think about that. Don Juan is my companion in life.

Itās not meh to me. It āallā, Iām saying.
People may be āmehā. Cuz they always let you down and fall short of expectations.
But animals for example arenāt meh 
And theyāre alive and present and have personalities.
I forget if you had a dog or cat but pets make life worth it
So does fantasy and history and nature and hiking and movie when ur up to it, and trying new things and the list goes on
Itās not all meh to me

I have two cats but they dont make a significant difference to me, i just think it is cool that your pet does to you . sometimes they really help me though cos they dont make me feel paranoid aha they just so chilled and stuff

I have a good friend in my group home and others I get along with well.
I still wish I could be friends with people on the outside.
I have a great deal of anxiety with people also. My thoughts are clear upstairs but when it comes to talking I have cognitive issues. Makes it hard to form relationships.
But like around kids I donāt feel anxiety and I say the right things but adults give me a lot of anxiety because I feel they expect a lot out of u.

I always have a hard time with this one, because I have a hard time describing loneliness. I dont think I really get it, but I also think I might get it without realising it.

I had a friend but he left and is getting married to a man. My friend whoās a dude who I always knew he was gay and all. But tbh Iām happy heās gone. Because I never knew what being free felt like till I didnāt Feel I āhave toā hang out with him anymore.
And I donāt know it was a good 3 year run our friendship.
People around here really suck. I mean especially with the covid people are colder and meaner than ever!!ā
Iām just one of those people staying inside waiting for the coast to be clear.
im glad you got some more freedom now thatās greatā¦that is a positive way of looking at losing some1.
yea i defo find it more challenging to interact with certain ppl. it is a shame really but just got to accept that as a part of life. some of the relationships may improve with time, whilst others are best cut out entirely had to do that with an āexā as he didnt seem to understand what the word sorry meant
My friend wasnāt the greatest influence on me either. I knew we had to end our relationship one day or another. He decided to enter a psych ward, separate himself from me, move, and get married to some guy who wonāt let him talk to me anymore. Go figure.
I could talk about how bad of an influence he was on me all day but Itās better to just say Iām
Happy heās gone, live in the present. Had itās benefits in the present of the relationship but now itās over thatās fine to me.
Mostly I isolate now. But thatās fine too.
