Independent living

How many of us are actually able to live alone?

Without taking the cost into consideration, how doable is it for you to live by yourself? What things did you expect to be difficult but weren't and what was more difficult than expected?

I don't feel human

I haven't had a picture taken of me in years because I have no one who would want to take them and selfies just feel distressing. I was never taught to do make up and it feels too late to learn, my clothing "style" is built around what doesn't feel embarrassing to own/wear but everything feels that way. I look in the mirror and genuinely can't connect what I see with being me. I've never had someone approach me first, whether for friendship or romantic interest. The matches I've made on dating/meet new people type app have always drifted into a distant friendship at most.

I struggle so much with even feeling like a part of humanity and I don't know how to change it
