Thanks all, appreciate the responses so far. I too am a hermit type, have been that way for a long time.
Isolation is a double edged sword for me. There's lots of times where I hate it, then I think I would rather be in isolation rather than put myself out there to be hurt, judged.
It's a constant topic in therapy for me.

Although, I spend lots of time with my son when he is here!

I call him my best medicine
