I feel like this is what I'm struggling with most of the time I'm not doing well. I just really need people, and I don't have any that I can interact with (in a way that won't be too taxing or triggering when I'm not in peak form). Sometimes I just want to be around people and for it to be easy and rejuvenating. That is rare, though.
Taking a bath and watching the 2000’s Charlie’s Angels movie and browsing Reddit so I don’t see the graveyard I call an inbox. lol. Reccomend. It’s funny how the plot of Charlie’s Angels is just the prism thing that Edward Snowden exposed. Even though you’re alone right now doesn’t mean that you’re alone in feeling alone.
I experienced a lot of this while living by myself during university and it was terrible. That is certainly a part of why I stayed with my parents afterwards even though my mother especially has a negative effect on me.
Yeah, I think an in person community would help.
I used to have a ton of energy to work on that, but it’s gone now.
Maybe some people younger/with less years of this will start something.
I am in the same boat. I was a traumatized but good mother to my four sons. My husband was abusive and so manipulative. I literally am now in this world alone with no soft place to fall. As much as I have sacrificed and given to other human beings it makes me feel terrible that I am entirely isolated, miserable, and I am such an extrovert people person that it is toxic for me to be alone in my head. I’m sorry that you are experiencing this, but know that you are not alone.

This is where I am at too. It’s so hard to meet people I can try to connect with, especially since I’m an old fart. Lol
The good news you still are better off just by not being around your family. I hope you find some genuinely good people to hang out with soon.

Yeah. I guess there's not much more to say. Or, the people you do tell about it, begin to berate you saying others behavior is all your own fault
