But, some people are recharged by friends/family -- others like myself are drained by them. Find a service you can do for others... grow flowers and give them away to people at your church, or bingo hall, whenever something special happens. Birthdays, anniversaries, weddings, graduation, a new kid - any opportunity to give away some flowers to people. This gives you purpose everyday, growing your orchids that is, and keeping track of a small social circle, keeping their well-being in mind. And you'll continue to provide something positive to whatever 'extended family' you keep in your sphere of influence. |

When my elderly parents pass away I'll be left here in this world all alone. I'm already having panic attacks just imaging it. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76753300 Being alone can be perfect for some people. Families are very hard on the scapegoats. But if you are having anxiety then you can always got to meetup-dot-com or something like that. Church is a good way to be around people. Go to the bible lesson meetings or RCIA. Be nice to your neighbors. Stop staring at screens, be still and get in touch with the earth and God. You'll have a good life. |

Be active even if it's just cleaning your house. Read good books and exercise. Bake bread. Feed the birds. |

It’s not so much that I dislike people, but I don’t think like most of them. It’s not about being smarter or dumber. I just can’t relate. I feel like a fucking alien. There’s no real way I can spin into being a gift. It’s very isolating. |

I get Smalltalk really well, but I’m still just so different. It can extend further than that. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 75543000 United States 06/26/2020 08:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | People really only maintain friendships for selfish reasons in these times. Women especially collect friendships, they have their car guy, their computer guy, their girlfriend that makes them feel pretty, their girlfriend that makes them feel skinny, their black friend, etc. All the good people are living in isolation and the bad people are looking for favors and to appear interesting on social media. People seem very incomplete and less whole then they did 20 years ago, so I enjoy spending time alone. This world and it's people are either facsimile or humanity has become something less. I don't think it's just me, most people I know have no meaningful friendships outside of a wife/husband. |

User ID: 77810344 United States 06/26/2020 08:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When My EX cheated I literally went crazy and cried for two years straight because the thought of never loving again was killing Me. The tears are starting to dry up after two years and I'm now starting to think clearly and I just want to get on My feet and start a new life. The sad thing is this covid19 bullshit hit so I might never get a life of My own because I was laid off and unemployment runs out next month. If I can pull a magic rabbit out of the hat I'll start over and get My house out in the country and raise chickens and possibly get some horses and spend My days fishing but until then I guess I have to just suck it up. It would be nice to share that dream with someone but women today are so fucked up that its hard to give Your heart to anyone knowing down the road they can take You to the cleaners and at My age I can't afford another divorce.
