Since finishing therapy, I am recognizing that for most of my life I have spent as a loner. I am fortunate to have my dogs and H. Are there others here who spend lots of time alone??? I don't remember ever being a joiner of groups, and tend to have strong reactions in these situations. Changes in general are hard to deal with also...
I do attend to being mindful practice, but intense social situations still shut me down. Jade

Hello JadeAmethyst. I tend to be a loner. I used to force myself to socialize with the assistance of people I considered friends but just found it incredibly stressful. Even the few friendships I tried to maintain proved to be too stressful over time. I now spend my time alone doing things I enjoy. I have my job but spend my time there working and never enter the break room. I have my friends here on PC and a next door neighbor who is bipolar like myself who I visit, family nearby.

Yeah I'm a bit of a loner too. I am in the process of accepting that I am just an introvert, and that is okay, and that there is nothing wrong with me. I'm tired of being a square peg trying to fit into a round hole.

I am a loner. Always have been. Social situations are hell & then to have to talk? All I do is lie about how great things are. If I was comfortable in my skin I'd b ok, but I get very lonely.
