Well I am new to this forum. Like everyone else I feel lonely every day. I go to work and socialize there but when I come home I have no friends and no real contact with anybody.
I have a 23 yr old son who goes to school in Florida but visits a lot. My dog and I like when he visits.
I'm 52 and pretty much lived a life in which I'm always less.
Try to meet people and they are responsive when I am talking about their issues. If I try to bring up the fact that I am a broken man then I am discarded. People have time for others who want to help them but no time for others who need their help.
As a man trying to date after divorce last year, I've lost the ability to trust.
I have a lazy right eye that is the crux of why I am so isolated.
I totally get it because when people meet someone they want to be able to look into their eyes. That isn't something I've ever had as any kind of benefit. People feel uncomfortable talking with me and I understand that.
I'm in the process of talking and getting surgery on my eye in the next month or so. On the one hand I feel like that is the reason for all of my social inadequacy fears. I know that is the biggest reason why people have stayed away from me.
What I am afraid of most is if I fix this physical problem but the depression and mental status is to ingrained that it will be impossible to let go. I'm hoping I'm wrong about people.
I'm hoping that the old saying that what you give comes back to you will actually work out at some point.
Would be amazing to find a friend who actually wanted to talk and share life
