I too isolate myself. If it wasn't for work I don't think I would talk to anyone. The weekends are the worst for me. Even though I like my own company and I like being alone from time to time, I hate being alone and not having any friends to do things with. Does that make any sense? I'm a very verbal social butterfly so to speak at work...maybe I make up for the loneliness there because I can't anywhere else. Hmmm?

Like others have said, isolation is not good....to much time on one's hands can lead to the old tapes playing over and over in our heads. I think I will make more of an effort to get more social outside of work. I've been thinking about joining a church.

I can't believe I am not the only one who feels this way. Thanks for the thread.
