Is it even possible to recover when you're isolated?

I know lots of people say they have nobody, and theyre usually full of shit. But I really have nobody. I have zero friends. I have no family members I can talk to, not even casually about how my day went, or anything at all really. When I say I keep everything to myself, I really fucking mean it. My only companion is music, and my cat. I truly have no idea how I havent lost it completely, and ended up in a mental hospital by now. I dont even have online friends anymore. I feel like killing myself is the only realistic option outside of evading reality for the rest of my life. I feel like I'm being forced to kill myself because what the fuck else can you really do without a support system? What is even the point? All I do is abuse substances to get by anymore. I see no other way out.

Same. Why do you think it's hard to make friends irl? I usually had hard time connecting to them because I wasn't allowing it.

Also what kind of music does you and your cat like to listen to? My YouTube feed is currently taken over by cats.

ECT...

Thanks for replying. Like you said yourself, I didn't allow people to get close to me when they were interested in me, because I was afraid. But Im also neurodivergent, Ive been diagnosed with several disorders since I was a small child. Most of the time I was the one being rejected by others.

Kitty doesnt have a preference for music, he just enjoys cuddling with me. Personally, my favorite band is nine inch nails.

Aren't there any "clubs" for neurodivergent people so you can meeting with like-minded awkwardly people?
Not sure if that would go well, but that would be nice.

Maybe. I wouldnt know where to find that sort of thing. I live in a rural place, so I know the prognosis isnt great. Most of clubs at my school are religious or ethnic, and none of which I belong to.
