How does being alone with no friends with social anxiety feels like?

[ilovemy2d]

People keep on asking you questions like "where is your friends circle", why are you soo sad? I wish if u had a friends circle tooo so that u can understand how I feel." Why don't u speak with your friends? Or why are u not with your age groups? Why are you so sad? And for all of that u just feel pathetic inside and smile and and oh I am just having some time alone and point to a blank wall and say they are over there.

At this point I'm convinced either I need therapy or if I can't afford it i wanna find THE WAY.

Personally, I enjoy being alone. Mainly because I also struggle with social anxiety so, it's nicer to avoid that. Do you genuinely want to be around people but find it uncomfortable or, is it that other people are making you feel strange for not being sociable? I guess I've just been alone for so long that there aren't people around so much to point out how strange it is.

I do believe in the idea of 'finding your own tribe'. It may not be that you struggle with all people. It may just be that the people you have been around, you don't really click with. I found it tended to be at art college that I found people I had the most simpatico with. A shared interest with people can really help.

It feels okay if you just need a few trusted people close to you. For me, family satisfies the need for social interaction. What DOESN'T feel good is when I have to interact with strangers and am being hassled to find jobs (where I have to be with strangers who judge me for being quiet).

Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Glad to meet someone with social anxiety who can relate too. I enjoy being alone mostly. But there were people who I used to enjoy time with, who I don't spend any time with now. Mostly because I feel like they are just being nice out of pity. That's a terrible position to be at.

Same here @KillingPain267. New jobs are the worst. Especially when others find u a misfit.

I'm so done with the idea of a friends' circle and having friends. I am happy to encourage anyone who WANTS those things to try and find a way to make it happen but I LOVE my solitude. My peace and quiet. My lack of people judging me for things they don't understand and don't want to try to understand.

Give me my garden, my cats and other pets ... And leave me the fuck alone. Thank you and good luck to you -- seriously. I am not being catty. I honestly hope everyone finds what they need to be happy -- whether here or in the next realm.
