Isolated

I haven't spoken to anyone in two weeks. 

Not sure what the longest is this year (probably three weeks).

I haven't been out anywhere apart from the supermarket this week as i figured traipsing through rush hour traffic just to walk round in circles for an hour was a bit pointless. But I did go in to the city centre today since the sun was out. My back, neck and wrists have all been hurting because I spend most of the time sat here doing nothing.

I'm doubtful I'll speak to anyone else (properly) before the new year. Not much happens around Christmas.

  • Well, after over a month of not talking to anyone I finally went to see a friend (whom I'd not seen for a while) last week.

    Since it is you making the effort then only you will decide this.

    The changes start with yourself - others will have their own pressures, agendas and limitations which will have to be considered but you are the one variable that you have control over.

    I sometimes go out just to have a coffee to be around others without any demands being put on me - it can be enough to scratch the socialising itch for a while.

    How about joining a local group - maybe for a shared interest or even a charity volunteer thing to give you a reason to go out and mix while doing something to take the edge off needing to be social?

    Just a thought.
