I received an email from this site today when I was looking for help with social isolation online. I feel so lonely and disconnected. I have no friends/family I'm in contact with. I find talking face to face/on the phone so difficult when I have to do it. I just wish I had someone to do things...

Watching tv. Lots of films on at the moment.

I used to celebrate my birthday, but now just treat it as a normal day. Same for Christmas, etc really. I heard something the other day. We should be kind and giving to each other all year round, not just on the holidays. Just made sense to me  :)

I've got the roast turkey and all the bits and bobs to go with it, followed by choc trifle!!

Hi Welcome to the forum and hope you find some nice people to chat to.

Hi there and welcome to the board I've spent a few Christmas's alone and do feel lonely, but will try and make the best of it. I cook myself a nice meal and treat it as just another day. It soon passes and things get back to normal. Take care of yourself and try and be kind to yourself because...

Hi Amy I get what you're saying about attaching. I think I've invested a lot of time into it in the past only to be let down. I've always felt like my relationships have been one sided with me doing all the giving and it's exhausting  :P

Thank you and Happy Holidays to you too! Hi Squidge It can be difficult to find similar people to connect with. It takes me a lot to open up and trust people.

Watching TV and going through my emails.

Hi Squidge I don't think so. I have looked at the symptoms in the past, but just think I have a high level of anxiety.

Hi Just reading your post really struck a chord with me. I've always been socially awkward and over the last few years it's got worse. I find making small talk so stressful, draining and feel like I'm causing an atmosphere by being quiet too. I enjoy being busy and hate silence, because I feel...

From my perspective, I think I feel things more deeply. I always feel like an outsider and that I don't belong and it still hurts. I do find myself drawn to the underdog and will stick up for someone if I think they're being picked on. I often wonder if I just boarded the wrong bus to popular...

Thank you DeepTxWater. If I could move into the middle of nowhere I would, but we all have to interact with people at some point. I'm trying to force myself out of my comfort zone, so it doesn't come as a shock  :) Thank you for the lovely post, hugs and blessings.  I couldn't agree more...

Hi and thanks for the welcome. I know that you mean about it being a lot of work trying to get approval from people. It's exhausting  :shy:

Thanks for the welcome Jessicat  :)

Hi I've just been watching Elf on the TV. Very funny  :D

Hello I'm new here and would like to try and connect with people. I struggle with social anxiety and I'm isolated. I don't have friends or contact with any family members. I'm struggling to stay in work, as I'm so socially awkward and feel like the weirdo nobody wants around, so end up...
