Hello

I'm 41 years old, I've spent most of my life living in my own imagination because I was bullied regularly from a very young age. Had a job in my twenties but decided to quit because I wanted to spend more time thinking (in hindsight, not a clever move). I enjoy solitude but lately I find myself feeling unloved. If I'm able to find a way to stop procrastinating and learn the social skills I should have learned as a teenager, I hope someday to find someone to cuddle up on the sofa with.

Recently I've gotten a support worker who has encouraged me to go to the support groups run by the organization she works for and this has helped me to come out from under my shell a little bit, so I've decided to create an account here in hopes of finding other people who might understand me and maybe even make a few friends.

  • Hello and wellcome. I too love solitude and enjoy being out on the moors either cycling or litter picking and being alone with my thoughts. I did visit a cafe today as I do like the odd contact and to people watch. I would be happy to be a friend should you wish to chat.     

  • Hi Lucy, thanks for the welcome. I never imagined there would be a need for litter pickers on a moor, but I guess people don't respect the outdoors anymore than they do towns and cities. One of the support groups I go to meets up for a coffee every week. I just stare at the floor and listen to the conversation cause I hate being the centre of attention.
