And when I ask the question, I'm curious when any changes happened (and why). Also, if your social life (relationships) changed over the course of your life.

I quite expect that some (or many) people here have experienced issues with social interactions, because of bipolar disorder. One member brought this topic up, in passing, a day or two ago. When I read it, I could relate, greatly. I heard that member loud and clear. It's quite likely that many in our lives, just don't. Or can't understand. I can say that that is frustrating, and sad. And isolating.

I can share more later in the thread, but thought I'd let someone else start. I understand that for some (or many) social issues are a sore spot. Talking about them can make one feel a bit vulnerable or other negative feelings. But we who have had such issues are absolutely not alone. I hope that can be a hand outreached. Hands grasped.
