but sometimes i wonder how this might effect me in the long run. i have no people skills and they have seemed to get worse. i say 4 years because my main contact with people was through high school. and only then i had maybe 1 friend and then id talk to teachers. i was a severe loner (in order to explain how alone was).
its not so much that im really lonely but that its isolation is getting to me a bit and i cant connect or even really communicate with people. i mean its been degenerative if that makes sense? my skills its been going down because i talk to people less and less. you know? i live with my father but i still really only stay in my room.
im not sure if it would or can but how much worse can this get? isolation i mean.

I'm totally the same. I have no friends, or job, or any type of school right now. I live with my family, but we're not close or anything. I stay in my room mostly all day. I feel both lonely and isolated. I don't get out much either. I guess it's my fault in a way, because I do tend to push people away, usually subconsciously. I don't realize until it's too late. Also I find it hard to meet new people. I haven't had a friend in over a year now. Some days I'm fine, because I'm not really a people person anyway, but other days I really need someone to talk to, but I don't have anyone. It probably could get worse, depending on what type of person you are, your personality, but a lack of communication can make it worse I guess.
