Re: Fear of being alone forever?
This crosses my mind quite a lot. I think I will inevitably live a fairly lonely life, I cannot see it changing. I am not particularly 'ok' with this but I feel like I have to be a realist about it....

Re: Loneliness and company

I dont think ive ever done anything for my birthday :( never had anyone close enough to celebrate with. Its quite embarrassing if people casually ask and I have no plans.

Re: Preferring your own company
I think I'm still confused by this. Growing up I convinced myself I preferred my own company. Now I feel like I was probably in denial. Whilst I am definitely more introverted, I hate how isolated I...

Re: How is everyone feeling? (31)
I actually feel terrible. Four days of being at my parents place over Christmas. I've not really said a word to them, as they haven't with me. I've slept an inordinate amount of time. I have nobody...

Re: Getting overly fixated/attached to people?
I know what you mean but it was hard not to be envious. He was the kind of person I want to be, literally all aspects of his life are quite good and I couldn't help but feel sh*t I had nothing in...

Re: Getting overly fixated/attached to people?
The other thing I do is incessantly compare my life to theirs and it makes me feel worse. The guy I mentioned had a lot going for him - well rounded, lots of friends, good job, interests. I felt so...

How can I get an exact diagnosis of my issues?
I’ve seen my GP a few times but he just thinks I am depressed. I really want a professional to go through things with me to determine exactly what mental health/personality issues I do (or do not)...

Re: Getting overly fixated/attached to people?
I think this is so accurate. And I often feel the same, this guy was actually fairly quiet and low key like me but had a very intersting, busy and confident life..so I suppose I just couldn't match...

Re: Getting overly fixated/attached to people?
Also I feel silly for thinking they actually liked me and wanted to be with me - it seemed that way at first - even sending me drunk texts and saying they missed me. So although I can be a mess I...

Re: Getting overly fixated/attached to people?
Thanks Dean! It does make a lot of sense what you have said. I think if I had a busy/interesting life with some interests/distractions it would help but it makes me reflect on how much I lack in life...

Re: Getting overly fixated/attached to people?

Getting overly fixated/attached to people?

I met a guy just 8 weeks ago and I thought we...

I never really intended to leave I just stopped posting, I suppose being in a relationship with another SA sufferer helped. After that, I don't really know, I just sort of forgot.
