I'm in my room on my phone 24/7. It makes me restless but I have nothing else to do but drive around and visit places like Target. It's a shit existence devoid of meaningful connection.

That's sad...I'm sorry. Is it because of Covid? Or just the way life always is for you?
I have people around me all the time, but yet I still feel lonely.

What about going outside on walks? Clears my head every time.

But other then that (and work) I'm also in my room 24/7.
Luckily it's only been that way for a few years so that I can look back on better times (had a circle of friends once).

My life has sadly only improved because of Covid but that's only because of the stimulus checks.

It's not a good area to walk in. Not due to crime. Work would get one out of the house so being inside the rest of the time wouldn't suck.

The girl I was talking to a few months ago compared my life to a lonely zoo animal like a lion or something and she's right. All of my basic needs are met like food, water, and shelter but higher needs such as love and self actualization cannot be met because I'm trapped living in a house with my family for many reasons. I'm almost 27 and am nowhere near being able to afford my own living space much less live independently. I'm sure if I had the money and the freedom from family responsibilities I might be able to become more independent since I had some experience from when I was in college dorms for a couple years but I don't see that happening anytime soon...

I was just thinking that today. I'm like a restless animal.

I can understand and commiserate with your situation.

Due to my health I've been bedridden for years now. I can go out for a little while but if I push things then I end up in more pain.

Just spending 3hrs at my sister's for Christmas left me waking up in the middle of the night with severe, painful muscle spasms.

I truly hope that your future gets better. It's no way to live.

I can relate, but I don't personally mind this live style. I like being at home because I have anxiety and get panic attack. My room is my safe place and I feel comfortable here. I hate having to go out. And I also don't like meeting new ppl:)

All we can do is wait for the zookeepers to bring us our mates, am I right? :ahhha:

i sometimes see my body as a prison.
but also lived a long time in self chosen isolation, had no real social life, leaving my apartment only for getting some food.

Same. It's the main problem in my life and I don't seem to get it fixed, as I don't have any friends nor have I any ideas about what to do beside being on my phone 24/7.

Yes Kramer I can relate to this. I am imprisoned in my body. Constant pain and suffering is my existence. Limitations and struggle to do basic things and fill time . Being trapped in this existence sucks. :aw::angry:

same... i cant stand all those muzzle-wearing sheeple anymore - the outside has become so dystopian. With the current lockdown there is no reason anyway to go somewhere - almost everything is closed, except groceries stores - but I've been ordering my groceries online anyways since the beginning of the mandatory mask wearing. I also had to take an indefinite break from work because of this, so i'm stuck at home too 24/7. Fuck the system and this fucked up society full of brainless and docile sheeps - cant wait to ctb when my time has come. I feel so lonely and out of place in this sick world.

The only time I'm not in my room on my computer is when I go to the cigarette machine, go shopping for booze or go trainspotting to finally end this miserable existence.

Yes, i live in a care facility completely bedridden and not been able to leave dark room for the last 2 years (cant tolerate any light bc migraines and sensory overload) The room even looks like a prison cell since i am unable to decorate it and in torturous pain all the time

Sorry, that's so sad. Nothing working on your pain enough?

I'm essentially living an existence more devoid of human connection than an inmate in solitary confinement. But I kind of prefer things that way tbh.

I cant take painkillers because i get horrible side effects from drugs. Tens machine helps slightly for stomach/back pain but only takes the worst edge off

I've seen caged animals performing repetitive movements, like walking back and forth, "dancing", etc.. I read that it can be a sign of a distressed animal. Occasionally I am too pacing through my apartment. Some said that I should walk outside more often, but it feels just the same wherever I go. I feel like the prison is my body, not the room. The thought experiment that I enjoy conducting on a regular basis seem to speak in favor of my hypothesis. I imagine myself as having superpowers. Like being able to jump higher than the highest building in the immediate vicinity and land without a single scar, or bathing in lava, withstanding the temperatures that would reduce to cinder any other human being... Suddenly I don't feel imprisoned anymore.
