Hi, I have a friend I see every Wednesday but I hallucinate her being evil. It’s the same with my neighbors and family! As a result I feel alone. What do you feel about your friends and family and do you feel alone? Thanks in advance!

Rarely feel alone, but I do have moments when I’m feeling unwell when I lament losing connection to my sister years ago or that deep personal connection to another person is almost impossible.

I’m glad you don’t care. I think I care too much! What do you do to not care about it?

My days are full of my hobbies.
My hobbies do not involve others.

I appreciate my friends, I talk and play games with my irl friends every Tuesday
My family is hurting me bad almost every day
I talk a lot online so I usually don’t feel lonely
Even though most of my days I’m alone in my bedroom

I thought you used to have friends you met regularely for coffee.
Did you play music together at some point?
Do you not feel like socialising with them anymore?
How are you?
Do you still go out for coffee regularely?

I have an old school mate that rarely comes with me for coffee. He is not friend. He doesn’t know about my schizo. I dont trust him.
I have another guy with whom I play music but he is elsewhere for work.
So I’m alone most of the days

I feel so lonely and like i have not had any healthy , safe good relationships where i feel like myself in my body and can connect n maybe share a laugh or if we dont share humour some nice chats n so.
I dont have friends as such except my x who i was with in my 20s (now 48).
Ihe doesnt have internet but i call him on the phone sometimes.
He is alone n without friends too.
He lives overseas so we dont meet or hang out.
We had some beautiful moments together bikeriding and jogging n stuff.
I once felt like our real spirits were hanging out and riding bike together but it only lasted moment.
Like we were happy to be together and spend time together.
Ihave my elderly dog.
He is all i got in a way.
I have one of people who raised me who helps me have a place to live n who i can call.
But theres things there i cant explain that are difficult.
Never felt loved by parents n others n nasty things happened n dont really have contact.
Few people i talk with dont really connect with anyone.
Possibly connect n communicate with my dog in a way.
Felt disconnected from myself and everyone kindof.
And abused and bullied and teamed up against me and me alone and not seen or valued or respected or loved or known or understood etc but only seen as my abusers want me to be seen by people so i never be beleived but only disliked.
They made sure everyone would dislike me and team up against me.
They are geniuses or very intelligent .
I have been bullied outsider n alone most of my life .
I have not felt like my real self has been in my body much but hardly ever because of trauma dissasociation i had since baby .
Felt like others in my body msliciously acting as me witjout my consent.
N i was in otber bodies being a workaholic etc .
Want to be in my own body now and be my authentic self n feel like me in my own body and heal and go from surviving to thriving and laugh and breathe and be playful and safe and love and happy and relaxed .
This forum helps me not feel so lonely and disconnected.
Sometimes .very rarely someone at shop or gym is authentically nice to me and it means so much since most bully vibe n mean spirited n fake nice n steal n so.

I have felt isolated or marginalized ever since having this diagnosis ages ago. I used to have mates way back when but this illness is incredibly isolating it turns out. Probably harmful as well to be lonely all the time but this solitude brings bitterness towards life and others with it I suppose.

I feel alone quite often. But lately I’ve just said screw it and put more effort into music/piano. I was doing gym, but stopped that - didn’t enjoy it enough at all. I’ll probably start preparing for my Masters soon so that will keep me occupied.
It’d be so nice to have a group of close, reliable friends. I have mixed feelings about my immediate family, they don’t really care about me. It materialises as hate sometimes and passiveness most of the time.

I may have felt bitterness too.
.
Because of the way i was treated i almost lost hope in a authentic good people existing.
To n for me specially.
That i dont have a people n am alone amoung them who team up against me.
But coffee is said to be bitter n how awesome is a good coffee.
.
I isolate because i cant perhaps defend myself against everyone and no one else does and its said to meet disrespect n abuse etc by avoiding them .
When so many or everyone in on such or owned or opressed by those are what can one do.
I visit gym n grocery shops.
Dont go out much otherwise but stay in bed.
Gym is difficult kinda n not many classes or moments i feel like myself in my body n safe n relaxed n not amoung mean spirited or opressors or so .
Some moments ive enjoyed gym and felt like myself even .
Im a bit afraid of going because its exhausting and sad so sad feeling alone n attacked or other stuff.
Even had few instructors not be professional.
One was body balance and seemed arrogant and attacking me verbally etc.
Im too afraid to attend those classes now.
2 woman and one male instructor of that i went well n one male was hateful n mean to me so i walked out of class after only 5 minutes.
I also feel like others at class look down at me n are not nice so i have not been going but kinda want to because its movements said to heal nervous system n body etc.

I haven’t had irl friends for a decade now. Sometimes I feel lonely but I do have online friends thankfully that make it feel not so lonesome. We’ve met up a couple of times too and it’s gone fine.
I try to socialize at a local queer cafe but I just don’t know how to talk to people, I go mute, don’t know how to hold a conversation, too intimidated to initiate a conversation, etc…
I went to one meeting where I got to talk a little but I found myself annoyed by the people there so maybe I’m just not the type of person.
My parents invite me over every couple of weeks but I’m not very talkative so I just enjoy their company while they talk at me. It would maybe be nice to find someone on the same wavelength who was my age.
