Hello. I am sorry to hear you are in pain and feel isolated. I too am working on my confidence and interaction more with others. Very very hard. I will tell you that everything humans do they do it because there is a "payoff". Money, fun times, ego boosting, education. You cut off mixing with people at some point or gradually. To you there was not a payoff of sorts dealing with others. Maybe it was even painful. I don't know. If you kinda give up on everyone, shy away, avoid all contact by choice, it just feeds on itself and loneliness can deepen. If we could we would come and give you a hug and even bond. But the future is yours and you have to decide that your sick the boredom, sadness, isolation, and overall lifestyle. Take it little by little and try to blend in. Just do not give up. We care.
