Loneliness .. tips?
Hello! I’m just going to cut straight to the point, I can’t quite believe my life has come to this. I’ve recently started working on my mental health and I’m doing better. What often keeps me feeling low is the lack of connection with others. I have a friendship group I suppose- not connected to them, they like to go out to drink and take drugs. I am not able to connect to work colleagues - gossipers and general weather talk etc- it’s not for me, I find it painful and these people try to smother me all of the time
I absolutely love my own space, my own time and space alone is essential to me feeling well but these thoughts about not having any connection don’t half hurt 😞 . 33, F, fantastic job, a lovely home, it’s not all bad.
does anybody else miss this something that they don’t have? A connection with somebody who gets us? You know .. somebody to check in with throughout the day, somebody who is interested in our life?
I am undiagnosed- self diagnosed, on a waiting list but there’s no doubt about it I do have autism.
So yeah … best loneliness coping tips? How do we get the balance? Is it possible ?
