Hesitating to respond.

I feel very isolated, very frequently. I guess it's partly my doing. I isolated heavily during the height of my eating disorder. It was just easier to be alone. Of course, at the time, what I was doing was numbing me... so I didn't feel like I was lonely. Now, though, I'm feeling the full force of the isolation.

I have one close friend, an online one. And I have some other people I speak to online. But most of the time, I spend my days entirely alone. I often find myself having conversations with myself. Because I have to speak to someone. Although, the reason I hesitated to respond is because... in my experience, isolation and loneliness feel different. I can't explain it, and I won't try to. I am alone most of the time, so the reasonable choice to choose was yes.
