My social life is when I go to work. For those two days I can't shut up and I barely get any work done. Then the rest of the week I'm home alone. Only to leave my house for doctor appointments, to pick up prescriptions and buy groceries, and maybe to Chipotle because I'm addicted to their burrito bowls.

I only go out for appointments, to the grocery store, to run errands or once in a blue moon my boyfriend & I go out, usually to grab a bite to eat and then go run errands together. I occasionally visit family, but that's the extent of it.

I have no social life except online & I have our cats and a basset with an identity crisis ( he literally thinks he's part cat). From what I've read in this thread, so far, I'm actually not alone.

I have been thinking for a long time that maybe I have social anxiety but maybe not. It seems that this may be a bipolar trait. What do you think?

I'm no social butterfly, but I will go out with mutual friends with my husband from time to time. I haven't had any close friends for years, I have trust issues.
Kinda sounds like something most of us share, sadly.
