I really wish I could crack the social isolation thing. I think that is the culprit.

I kind of get angry when people say go out to coffee or something similar.

Do that all the time. My local Starbucks has turned into a satellite homeless shelter. I hate to sound prejudice but they bring in piles of luggage, talk to themselves, and smell. I feel bad but it is strange because it is just a regular Starbucks inside Barnes & Noble where I have been going for years. But now it kind of feels like a madhouse.

All the other things seem ridiculous, too. Like volunteering. I have volunteered for 30 years...everything from Peace Corps, to volunteer zoo keeper, to neighborhood watch, and gardener. It's nice but in general just like a job...not a social venue.

Church was a nice community but for reasons I will no longer talk about on PC I am not longer a church member.

I really have a difficult time trying to explain to people how isolated I am. People just don't get it.

I am going to make Social Isolation the Number One Priority Problem to solve. I just don't know how...
