Welcome, @OutsiderLookingIn!

I sleep a lot.

I'm definitely a misanthrope. I've been thinking about getting a t-shirt that says: LEAVE ME THE HELL ALONE! :)

I'm an old dude and, while I have nothing against young people, I stand a better chance of relating to older people, not that I'm very good at relating to people my own age, but at least we have that in common. So, are there any other babyboomers here?   :shy:

"The problem with that is I start to ruminate about all the issues in my life that are always there but get pushed out of my mind when I'm at work." When you start ruminating, tell yourself, "Thinking about those things does me no good, whatsoever. It just makes me feel bad, so why do it?" Then...

Thanks for the nice welcomes, everyone. :)

Greetings. I've been diagnosed with SAD, dysthymia, and avoidant personality disorder, which have caused a lonely life. The resultant severe, chronic insomnia destroyed my career. But I'm still trying! Anyway, I hope to get to know some of you here... maybe make a friend or two. :)

John T. Cacioppo is one of the leading "experts" on loneliness. Do a search and you'll find a lot of information and some videos.

Try Valerian root to help you sleep. It has a calming effect and it's perfectly safe. :)
