I just read all these posts. I can relate to everyone here. I don't connect with people. I never fit in anywhere. I feel alone in a crowded room. I am very awkward socially and being in social situations gives me much anxiety. I have grown kids, I talk to them. But I admit I have a lot of trouble communicating. I have two small dogs that I spend most of my time with. I start a job tomorrow so I am feeling very nervous about that. My severe depression and other issues keeps me secluded in my home. I feel safe in my home. I don't feel safe in the world. I'm sorry to hear that you all feel this way. Just know you are not alone.
