honestly, I generally don't feel safe unless I am alone. There are exceptions of course, like in therapy, but that's hard too a lot.
geez...I am tired

These disorders can be exhaustive with all the crap they bring along, that's for sure. I'm so sorry you're having that trouble. We're all here for you, for whatever that's worth.

I know the feeling and I remember when I loved to be the center of attention joking and kidding around. Somehow it seems and feels wierd like it's someone else now? Phillipa ps I fight to get out and talk to anyone and look so needy and jerky

As I see it with you, Sid, there is nothing particularly problematic about wanting to be alone.....your problem is you have to work. If you didn't have to work you could do as this American I was listening to on the radio did, go to a remote island in Patagonia for a year to....I don't know what he wanted, except he wanted to be alone, although he did have a wild cat for company, he took books among which was, (I noted with pleasure), the "Chuang Tsu" (wonderful Taoist cum spiritual anarchist book). Did he take the I Ching as well? If I could organise myself I would learn how to do that.
Do you get lonely? I do.

Gee Sid, that's rough. I feel uncomfortable with others, but now I've developed an aversion to being alone :-/
Do you get lonely? I sure as heck do. Frightened, too. Today's o.k.

oh sure, I get lonely. I just like a lot of alone time, maybe more than most people I know? I do well with one person at a time, or a couple of people at a time. I hate crowded places, loud places, and I just kind of think that I get easily overwhelmed.
You've seen "Castaway" right?

yeah, I do get lonely, but I get lonely even around a lot of people. I like being around people when I am comfortable, but there is a limited amount of people that I really feel at ease with.
When I was a kid I spent a lot of time alone, and it was easier than being with people. I got used to it. I learned how to live in my own head. One of the reasons I went to therapy was probably because I knew that I was missing out on a lot.
glad you're ok today :-)

No, I haven't seen that. Maybe I can watch the DVD.
Yeah, I'm much better with one on one.
With social interaction I get very confused, probably because my brain can't work quickly enough to translate all those lies into truth.
5mg Dexedrine and I'm on the ball.But even with one on one I have problems, quite apart from the lack of Dexedrine.
I went to the dentist, the hygeinist, the one who looks at your gums and stuff.
'Did you have a good New Years?'
'It was alright.'
'Just alright?'
'Eleven family members came to stay.'
'Did you have a good time?'
'It was alright.'

Lots of time in my head, too. I try to walk, and have budgeted for a monthly massage. (Wish I could afford more often.) I need to get out of my head more often.
Not so good today--and am I out of my head today? Well, at least I'm out of bed!

BTW, so dex does the social thing for you, too. I thought I was alone in this.

No, you're not. Most people (too many at any rate) feel like this. They don't want a run on the bank (so to speak) so it's all locked up.
Because we are a society that values achievement less and comfort more, we are tougher on stimulants and easier on opiates.... at least that's my take on it.Here you need an ADHD diagnosis.
