Lonely but don't like people

Does anyone else feel like I do?
I feel lonely and desperate for friends to talk to but at the same time I don't like having to talk to people and I want to be at home with just me and my family and shut the world out and not have to see anyone or text anyone

It feels like quite a contradiction but so does much of my life

Also, I think its hard for me as I feel I can't truly be myself with most people, especially NT's

  • The story of my life. Lol. I'm deaf anyway but I still really want friends but the idea of trying to get to know people is terrifying to me, especially as I would need to go out to, I don't know like a coffee shop or something to meet people and that's difficult in itself because of my disabilities.

    I'm like that as well, people rarely get to see the real me. It's like being an actress in a play, they see the character I put on, but not the real me.
