Hi,
Well I'm a guy in my mid 30s. I live in the Southern USA.
I came across this site through a random google.
Obviously I'm a pretty lonely person. I had friends for much of my life, but never very many. I was always a one best friend and 1 or 2 secondary friends type of person.
Over the years, I have found myself becoming more and more reclusive. Now I no longer have any real life friends. I have internet friends, but I think we all know that isn't the same thing.
Sometimes weeks pass by without any real human contact. I feel like 75% of the time this is not such a bad thing. I am a very solitary person and most of my interests and hobbies are solitary pursuits.
But that over 25% of the time is very hard to take. Sometimes I feel very depressed and alone. I seem to be unable to do the basic things needed to go out and make friends. I have high social anxiety and hate groups of people/crowds. I'm also kind of an eccentric person and have a hard time relating to most people.
Anyway I guess I could go on and on about this, but I think most of you probably get the point.
I was surprised to find a forum about this subject. I figured why not at least give it a try. Maybe something good could come of it, though I have little hope of that.
