So, lately, I had a dinner with friends I hadn't seen in a while, but I actually felt lonelier afterwards.
They talked about their lives, the things they've done, and the people they've met. I show interest in them, but when I talk about what's happening in my life, going to see a movie with someone or cooking, I get disinterest.
I've had one friend actually say to me: "Is that it?"
I said yes and was quiet for the rest of the dinner. Is this simply friends becoming distant?
I've been sort of isolated and depressed, but I've heard I should not stop being social altogether or it gets worse. Why do I always need to have something going on in my life? Isn't enjoying a recent good read enough?
