I don’t. I tend to isolate because people stress me out.

My best self will be somewhat social, but not super social. Maybe 150 people I touch base with, with any regularity.
At the moment, I am isolated as ■■■■ though. People stress me out too.

Wish I knew more gear-heads and people to jam with. But I’m afraid of tweakers and other people who might try to rip me off.

I might like to re-acquaint with old friends, but not terribly excited about meeting new people in real life.

I’d like to have another friend or two. Hopefully, they’d be physically healthy. All 3 of my good friends are ill in different ways and I worry they’ll die young. So I’d like a friend or 2 who at least have the chance to live a long life in case I do. I know that’s selfish of me, but I don’t want to be super lonely in my old age.

I would be happier having one or two close friends I could count on, who know me fully, and want to be in my life.
A gaggle of acquaintanceships? No thank you

Voted No. During the time I socialized I kept separate friend circles, didn’t increase but excluded.

I don’t know what I want. I want someone to talk to in a way but at arms length. I want a hug but only once in awhile, I just want casual friendships I guess, one or two. That’s about it I think. If I ever get my nerve up I could go to art group and maybe I could meet some people there and that might not be too bad.

I had a freind from hospital too but he kept having banter with me by calling me gay and I insulted him back and he threatened to come to my house and it got pretty serious. I told him I’d apologise if he would but he never did. He tried to call after but I just kept cancelling the calls. He hasn’t called since.

As much as I would like to hang out with someone, I doubt I will, not made any effort in years

I have enough friends. It’s hard to keep up so no, I don’t want any more.

I only have one friend and I must admit she’s a lousy one. I have a few acquaintances. I have no idea how to make friends. I’m rather isolated but happy nonetheless.

I have family and 3 other friends that I am in contact with often. I’m good with that. I have a few friends that I went to school with but just keep in touch through Facebook.

No I don’t. I have my husband and my parents and my sister and a best friend to chat to so I’m content with them. Too many people around me stresses me and I crave solitude quickly

I always want to increase my social circle, but I’m pretty extroverted. I love getting to know people.

I would like to but not sure if I can. I am unable to meet new people and even when I do, I will struggle with conversation and it will go no where.
I only see work colleagues, close family and a family friend.

I wish I had a few close friends who I wouldn’t have to hide things from (like hiding that I’m SzA). I want some close friends I can hang out with and be myself around.
One of my coworkers is a friend of mine, but he doesn’t know about my SzA. We talk about all sorts of things going on in our lives but we never talk about mental health. Because he’s a coworker, I’m afraid to tell him I’m SzA. So, I just keep it private.
I have one IRL friend who knows I’m SzA. She’s SzA, too. I love her as my friend. We don’t hang out very often, though. Our world view and opinions are very different. She’s very open and “loud” about what she thinks, which is fine. I don’t let that stop us from being friends.

I’m happy with my 3 friends I’ve made online and met through my husband. I’ve also reconnected with cousin’s and they’re my friends too, so yeah, I’m good with that. I had to reach out to family for more moral and social support. I have a lot of cousins, so that’s cool.
