I'm just really at a point where i feel so removed from other people - like ghostlike. i live alone and moved about four months before covid started, and so have wound up in the bizarre position where i moved somewhere years ago and still know basically no-one. compounding on the depressive behaviours, its such a stressor of its own eventually. I just feel like i'll never become social again, or meet any friends again.

sorry for my incoherent vent ah

It's not incoherent. And I understand. I am all alone most of the time. Hardly get out of bed. It's not doing me any good.

I exist in a very isolated environment,it's just me and my old dog, l only leave the flat once a week to collect my prescription and get mobile top up vouchers, it's really sad when you have two phones but only get a call maybe 2/3 times a month! I don't like today's society with it's unsocial media and fakery, l live only to care for my dog and will be relieved when l can finally let go of this horrible world and sleep.

Absolutely.

Being isolated would've been ideal in a healthy environment from early in life, through adolescence, and early adulthood. But being pushed around and shoved back to abusers and blamed for being abused is absolutely fucked up.

Invalidated and trying to "appease" abusers or or oppressors and thieves has absolutely drained my self esteem.

Arrogant little fuck faces pushed it too far too many times.

I "don't mind" being isolated at this point, but it is unhealthy.

I feel like I can't have friends because of betrayals and setups.

I don't "do well" at work because of my intense amount of anger and destruction.

I don't feel like I'm "doing well" at home because I am in a "web" of bullshit and not doing the things I should be. (Staying occupied by cleaning, fear of accidentally breaking or misplacing something, fear of accusation.)

Self care is important. I'm "neglecting" that, to a point. Not getting dressed, not getting exercise, not doing my laundry, not brushing my hair. Smoking cigarettes.

I feel "bad" (not in quotation marks as in sarcastic but quotation marks as in, empathetic and negatively) for the person I live with because of my deep hatred for a cruel society and myself.

I'm tired of bullshit.

I'm educated, I can see shit coming from a mile away but apparently the "law" says I can't do anything about it. Which is absolute garbage. People say "just move on" or "grow up" - I did a long time ago the problem is that it continued to occur for such an extended period of time that I cannot begin to forgive the fucking nightmare of "life."
They say this is "life" and that it's not "fair" - fuck em.

They blame "poor choices" but I blame poor (not financially) people as in fuckoffs and dickheads who don't care one fuckin bit.

My dreams are in a garbage can, people are selfish and I feel like the best option is suicide.
There's no way out. People say it's not "happening" now. But you know what it's happened too many god damn fucking times.

I'm tired of BULLSHIT cops, BULLSHIT robbers, BULLSHIT "nurses", BULLSHIT "doctors", BULLSHIT "relatives", bullshit corporations, and BULLSHIT partners.

People think it's "funny."
You know what's funny? Laughing in their face when they die of "natural causes" or are killed.

And then when they go "our condolences" - awwwww.
Aww nothing.

Well congratulations someday they will be.

Okay, good! HAHA.

Nothing gets better.

They say, "know justice, know peace."
No justice, no peace.

You know in the fourth grade I didn't want to say the pledge of allegiance anymore because there was no fucking justice.

Tired of this entire fucking "game".

It's not a game. I hope they wind up paralyzed. A vegetable. Miserable. Just like they did to me.

Toxic waste. Life is a dump of toxic waste and so are the people in it.

People say "ASPD" - I say fuck em.
BPD. I say, again, fuck em.
"Bipolar" disorder? Since when?
"Schizophrenia"? Again, bullshit. Not my imagination.

Is the world just "out to get me"? "Apparently" so. Again, fuck em.
HAHA point the finger.

So getting raped, groped, beat up, stolen from, and fucked with is a "joke?" It's not a "joke" and you know what I don't have a sense of humor about? People who do this so many god damn times without consequences for their actions.

You know a funny "joke"?
Putting a hole in someone's head for doing it.

To add to that.
You know.
I regret things from 5th grade that I had no idea about.
I flash back daily and say what the hell?
Like "ear boxing" - violence, I really had no fuckin clue and I still feel bad nobody ever told me the shit going on in life was not normal.

Yes, similar story to me. Anyone would be depressed, being so isolated, but anxiety forces me to be isolated. I've been this way all my life, on and off. Not sure when I'll say - enough.

Been through it in foster care, if I did anything to make them mad id be locked in the bedroom with no books or tv, just laying on the bed for fun usually a month per punishment at a time. Outside eating in the kitchen or school where id get bullied for being white in a bad neighborhood it was back to the room.

I am alone when it comes to emotional connection. Been since i was a child, as both parents are narcisists.

Work keeps me in contact with other people, but its just the usual superficial stuff.

And im ok with that.
But im a very interested person so my hobbies consume me.

Someone else is always around but just to make sure I'm not dying or hurting myself. They don't actually care to speak to me about anything else. So I'm pretty isolated because I have no friends.

That's also how I feel...in the past only some form of addiction helped me to get over it. Be it drugs, hunger, excessive shopping, food, sometimes attention...but it all got old. And now it's just a bore.

Spent past 8 years straight alone in a room. Does 8 years alone in a room, going nowhere, doing nothing fun, qualify me to claim "prolonged isolation" status?

Pandemic lockdown was nothing to me.

I did get out, from time to time. But not for long.
Then it was right back to my cell.
But don't feel sorry for me.
I more than deserve this. In truth, I deserve 800 years locked alone in a dungeon, for what all I've done.
and may be, about to do.

5 years, going on 6, being a hermit, surviving on disability pension and riding the medication carousel which often just made me worse. Almost 6 years of my life gone, and before that I was trying and failing at functioning, so all that youth wasted too.

I'm not usually completely isolated because I normally work a job outside of my home, but right now I'm unemployed. And even when I do go to work, I dont really talk to others. I live alone with no friends. I'll see my family on holidays and my therapist bi weekly. Though I'm not 100% like in the woods with no one around, I still feel like not having any friends is really detrimental to me. It's a main reason for my suicidal thoughts

Long ago, even before covid started, unfortunately for me, I fell into the neet, considered incel, absolute loner, category. I don't have any friends, just some people I talk to through discord. My only contact are close family members. Making friends is hard, social interactions are hard...

I see it as better to be isolated, I do not like being around people much, they make me feel worse, but that is just my personality. I only ever talk to a few family members but pretty much all my time is spent alone. The lockdown did not change my life at all, before it, I was in the house all day doing nothing. My life is so empty, in a way it is like I have already died.

I feel like I've been isolated for the past two years. I go to concerts for my minimal dose of happiness and it's right back to reality. Would be a joy to capture how I feel in a bottle during shows. Just lonely, around people I guess.

Yeah it's odd to hear about the problems people are having because of covid.

Nothing has changed for me, went no contact with family before covid happened.

Never hung out with people.. dated a few people as an adult but other than that no personal human contact.

The opportunity was never there, and after working retail I don't have a lot of hope in humanity.

I think a doctor asked "how I was holding up" because covid has been so hard on people with relationships. lol wut?

Lone Wolf - I understand how you feel. I don't leave my apartment. I have a little bit of $ to pay rent for one more month and then I will have no place to live (hide). Other than work (which I no longer go to), I speak to no one. No one calls I call no one. I do believe you can die of a broken heart. Oh, I do have my sweet cat that I love more than life itself. She is the only reason I am still here.

Even when i was more active and around people in scholl i still felt isolated. This was many years ago.
So i kept no friends, and for very long i thought it was better this way, but my heart keeps craving company the more the time pass by. A true friend...
