Hello,
I've browsed this forum and the movie codec one for some months now but never posted anything before.
I'm a male software engineer from New Jersey. I just turned 22 a week ago and am a little embarassed about still living with my parents and younger brother and sister. If I were to move out, however, I'd be even more lonely than I am now.
I only have one or two friends and find myself pushing them away whenever they want to do something. Hanging out seems more of a hastle than a remedy for loneliness. And if it involves my friend's friends it becomes even more uncomfortable because I get stressed when having to meet new people.
I've thought long and hard about this problem and am coming to the conclusion that there is nothing more I can do other than force myself to be more social.
My question is does anyone else find themselves lonely yet pushing other people away? It is very strange.
