I have more opportunities to socialize than I’m interested in. Manage to maintain good relations with the people I need to, especially professionally. I’m active in Alcoholics Anonymous (strictly online right now) and get a lot of satisfaction from it.

I’d say less than 1…but i prefer it that way as I’m a loner and my husband is enough company for me. And my parents and sister and two friends on WhatsApp

I too never really cared for a good social life with total strangers but I lost many of my child friends post sz. We used to discuss and follow football a lot. If anything I would want to get those friends back but other than that I am alright.

I have always had social difficulties.
Have been a pushover, have been bullied etc
I feel uncomfortable and awkward around most people even family so I avoid socialising.
When I was with my x in sa it was perfect with him n the dogs at home and I loved his friends and family but felt uncomfortable around them also because they tried bossing me about and I thought they had no right to do so as it’s against my beliefs.
I was so comfortable with my x and loved every second with him but not even the person I love the most can tell me I can’t be vegan.
People want to think they are superior to me which is against my belief system and makes me uncomfortable around them specially if they behave in such ways.
I am a loner in a way and need my alone time in bed but I love socialising sometimes depending on who with and some people I’m more comfortable with.
Most people I feel so uncomfortable I suffer being around them.
Dinners are most difficult sitting around a table is a bit trapped while if you go bush walking with someone you don’t have to talk as such.
My problem as a child was that I was a pushover I think and as a teen too.
As a adult I had difficulties due to paranoia and delusions and psychosis but now it’s more feeling uncomfortable and that I don’t like people talking down at me or bossing me about thinking they are all my superiors when I don’t agree.
My x in sa never talked down at me but bosses me in a way I consented to till he told me not to go vegan.
Last guy I saw for four months I felt pretty comfortable with I think.
Another problem I have is I can be a bit slow and it can take a long time to process information and answer questions which can annoy people and make me feel uncomfortable.
I don’t like when people want to supress me to make themselves feel better.
Like Jennifer Anniston did to me when she put me down n trashed me n bullied me to make herself feel worth more than me.
I don’t have friends to hang out with .
I meet my family once a week but feel uncomfortable with some of them or most of them but love them and can enjoy their company.
I might have a friend who I volunteered with.
I don’t agree with people wanting power over me , suppressing me, bossing me about and “I’m better than you bi tchiness”.
And I just feel I want to avoid it.
Would be nice to have friends that were not like that.
I had some great friends once that were not like that at all.
I miss having friends.
My socialising is better than it used to be.
I used to isolate and not meet family even.
I still isolate but not as much and I need my lone time .
It can take a lot out of me to socialise.
Last Christmas I left in the middle of family dinner.
See how it goes this year.
I think I’m trying more but also able to say no.
I remember adoring my friends I had.
Some didn’t like that they worked and I didn’t some thought I was behaving weird and or destructive and some were never true friends but only wanted me as their bi tch.

Outside of my stepfamily I see no one socially. That was the case even before Covid. I’ve always been quite asocial. I have tried to socialise every now and then, but it’s invariably been a negative experience.That’s pushed me to being more asocial as time has gone on.

My social life is like 1.5. I have a friend but we hang out like once every couple of weeks. That is not nearly enough. This is one area of my life that I want to improve the most, because it makes me feel happier.

Not as i want. I only see my dad and kid regularly. Lost my friends when ill for a few years. The people i now call friends are kind, but i hardly see them and we arent very close. Voted 1. Feel lonely. Ideally i would like a boyfriend and about 2-3 good friends. As my grandma said to my uncle once though: they wont come falling through the roof.

To me, MD is more limiting than having PD.
If you look up waddling gait on YouTube, you’ll be able to tell that “oh…this is how laetitia walks.” With that type of gait, it’s hard to get around.
I have more opportunities than I want. I need to be more social. I shouldn’t turn down the chance to spend time with friends the way I do. I just like to be at home where I feel safe. You can understand that, can’t you?

Mine is sad. I have some internet friends, but I’m pretty sure most of them wouldn’t notice if I disappeared. And with the pandemic I haven’t seen any of my irl friends since April. So not much of a social life at all.
I’m kind of social with a select few family members.
But overall I’m not very social.
I lost touch with my in person friends years ago.
But I’m not a hermit or loner so I voted 2
