I have this thing where I have to isolate almost all the time or I get extremely irritated and often end up in angry rages because I have to put up with people. I stay in my apartment and only go out to see my dad, go to counseling appointments (when I feel like it), and to go shopping...that's it. That's pretty much 3 places a week. After doing all that I feel so overwhelmed by the socialization and being around people that I just lock myself away...and ya know what? I'm actually comfortable doing this.

Although I do live with my bf, I try to not socialize with him as much as possible...but do communicate when I need to. I get irritated with him almost everyday, though.

I just don't feel like I'm like anyone else around here (in my area) and don't know anyone I can really truly relate to. So I hide away and find no enjoyment or satisfaction in socializing with others just for "fun." I'd rather be sitting in an intensive therapy session than socialize just for the socialization. If you're just socializing you're not really getting anything accomplished, but in therapy you do. Maybe that's the thing. I have no clue.

Does anyone else deal with this?
