I have times when I go out & be social & I have times when I just need to isolate & get things done for ME & my critter family & recharge my own battery.
Life is all about knowing how to balance everything. Both are necessary in life, not one or the other. Wisdom is knowing when

I didn't choose this lifestyle. I would never voluntarily choose it. I have lived alone three times in my life. The first two I was able to move on from rather quickly, but this time has been a trial. All three times were due to circumstances. I don't find all the negatives about social isolation on the Internet helpful...I am just trying to focus on the silver lining. This isn't my preference and I do intend to move onto something else I just don't know what yet.
I live in a town where many people feel isolated both young and old. So ultimately I think it is the area I need to move from but that will require resources I don't have at the moment. I am a coastal person and living landlocked gives me a weird closed in isolated feeling so I think it is geographic as well.
