Hi Life, as far as I'm concerned there is absolutely nothing wrong with someone choosing to mostly be in their own company.............and not being the kind of person to have/want lots of friends, to be regularly socialising/in touch with/chatting with someone/anyone......so what!!! that doesn't make anyone any less than those who do.
I'm just wondering whether it's you choosing to stick to your own company though, or whether the things like depression, anxiety, self esteem issues are choosing that for you??
And if maybe you got a bit more help with those things you might want something a bit different for yourself???
Now maybe you are never going to want to be be the outgoing type..........and that's absolutely fine (!!) but maybe to have just a few people in your life who you don't feel the need to compare yourself to, who you know won'tunfairly criticize or judge you, who will interest you (less faking interest ) ???
Maybe there are some people in your life already who you could think "maybe..........??" about, and might be able to spend just a little more time with???
Or some people you could get to know just a little better???
And the being "critizised/judged" bit........well if whoever it is does that, doesn't see your good points (because you have got plenty of good points!!!) then time to move away from them anyway.........there will be people who will see them, I and some others on here have definately seen them!!!
But whether right now you're able to spend a little more time with others or not, I'm really glad you find yourself able to be with us, to talk with us.
