For the past few years, I have been an extreme recluse which has had the effect of causing me to feel extremely lonely at times.
At first, the loneliness was unbearable to the point where I felt like I could take my life. With time though however, I became more and more used to the seclusion. I've fortunately not felt suicidal for years now.
Sometimes I wish that I could have the courage to start 'living' my life, get a girlfriend and do the 'normal' things people are supposed to do in life, but the thing is though that I experience a great deal of anxiety while in the company of others which is (at least) partially due to my Asperger's.
Anyway, it isn't very often that I feel lonely anymore, but every once in a while I will feel an almost unbearable amount of loneliness, so here is my question - how do you people cope with your loneliness? Do you try to focus your attention on something like a video-game, a film or a book (for example)?
I look forward to your comments.
