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.

  • Please celebrate having your dog. At 80, seven dogs in my life have helped so much. Deep down I've always felt like an innocent five-year-old with his dog. Know people here offer genuine connection, struggle similarly to degrees. I open to mutual sharing if interested. Best wishes.
