Struggling with loneliness

I have no friends or connections outside of my immediate family. I'm quite socially isolated. I dont have social media and I don't work or study, most of my days for the past eight years have been me and the dog. I just feel incredibly alone and misunderstood even when social opportunities have arrived in the past. It's probably worth noting I do have social anxiety and depression and im coming to realise ive probably been chronically overwhelmed my entire life because I cant cope with simple everyday things that a normal functioning adult should be able to cope with. Sometimes it just feels like im the only person stuck in this very *** position or rather that other people in the same position cope much better than i am right now.

  • Loneliness is bad but it's not the worse.  It's preferable to being in a toxic relationship or environment.

    The last twenty years of living in the same house as my father were awful.  He often referred to me in the third person.  Called me the shame of the family,  a useless piece of sh**, spat in my face.  Loneliness is sometimes a relief.
