Venting PubMed, amazing tool to let me know just how screwed I am:)

Just did some readings of "social isolation during adolescence in mice" studies and how they state it's an absolutely crucial age in which social interaction is needed for proper brain development, and in which absence the brain develops lifelong, non reversible, mental illnesses (mainly just what I have, depression and anxiety).As the lucky boi I was born, I've been isolated guess when! Completely alone from 11 to now :D thanks High School fucks and it's system for fucking up my life and my shyness ofc.
Used to desperately try and find studies of socially isolated mice in adolescence with happy or reversible outcomes. Haha, poor me really, of course that's not a thing in this garbage world full of delusion.
I used to feel real dread a few months back when I first realized just how fucked my life was for life if I didn't kill myself, not it's less dread feeling and more motivation to just fucking get over this miserable existence that I've had the displeasure of taking part in. Ridículous shit, wish I had a fucking shotgun right now. SoonTM lol

Those studies simply reflect where we stand with science, which is 'still learning'. What they say doesn't define or reflect possibility or impossibility, only what we 'can' do with what we know 'now'.

In any moment a bright mind could discover something more. In any moment a simple non-academic human being could discover themselves enough to break through their own mental stuckness or illness. Could it be you?

The thing is about this is that with the internet and social media and more increasing online interactions instead of face to face or in person interaction, the human brain will become more screwed than ever.
I would say life itself is the delusion.

Most my posts are about isolation and the pain its caused so I can relate. My story is quite similar really. I don't believe its fixed as it may seem though. Our brains are highly adaptable but now im older than 25 those neural pathways are harder to form. I'm certain I've felt my brain rewire itself to try and cope with the lack of interactions though. I have often had dreams of socialising, my brain trying to compensate for the huge lack. Now that im almost 30 and spent most my life alone including the most crucial years of development, I'm really not sure I can go another decade and onwards staying this way. I really hope you and anyone else so alone can change the situation for the better.
