I've also alienated people. I pushed away my family. I lost touch with high school, university and work friends. The only people i associate with are in my drop-in. It's only open limited hours so most of the time i'm on my own. I don't mind that much because the more i get to know people in my drop-in, the less i like them. They are okay for superficial acquaintances, but i don't long to be close to them.
