How to understand yourself better?

I often feel lonely and it feels so empty. Tried to find someone to talk to but after I talked a bit, it felt meaningless to me and I stopped talking with them, It was just a shallow talk, something is missing but I dont know what is it. The only thing that free me from this thought is programming. But its not healthy, I have been doing it for years. I have no one to call a friend, I want to change

Hi NAS80457 Yes I know that feeling of feeling lonely and empty. And not fitting in. And worried about saying the "wrong" thing.

I am freed by music - listening to it. My playlist sounds like an angry rock chick. I think programming is a cool thing to find release in.

I hope you feel bit less lonely posting on here.

You are certainly not alone in this place with the feeling that you have expressed. Talk more here - and see what pearls of wisdom come flying back at you..........or at least enjoy not feeling so alone!

Who told you that doing something that makes you excited is not healthy?

Are you autistic?
