Do you feel happier being isolated?

[3ngel]

maybe not but i find my isolation very comforting to me...
to be honest i also rely alot on other people and i really like to interact to not feel lonely

 

[TheLightOfMyLife]

Yes but only because other people cause me pain. I hate being ugly and undesired and I know people always think negatively about me for the way I look, so it's easier to just stay isolated even if I wish I could be connected.

People underestimate just how detrimental being ugly is to your quality of life. It's really frustrating

 

[ConfusedHurting2632]

Honestly...likely yes. The vast majority of people seem to only make me feel worse about myself, and that includes both online and in real life. Real life people are terrible enough with their judgemental stares and all; but I've actually found people online to be much, much worse. Like people in real life can call you an idiot in passing, but a lot of insane people online will write several paragraphs about how much they hate you, how dumb you are, and why you should kill yourself. I would argue people online traumatized me even more than real life people.

So even online I barely post or comment on things. Sometimes when I do post or comment I immediately regret as soon as someone throws their first insult at me.

All this to say I isolate both in real life and even online...lol.

I'm similar, I prefer being alone most of the time but not all the time though.

 

[LigottiIsRight]

I live alone and I enjoy and need being on my own, no doubt. Nevertheless, I also need a minimal amount of communication and contact with a few others. I have the option to hang out with others from time to time and I can talk with friends when I want to, that covers all my social needs.

 

[_Minsk]

yes. the more far away from people, the better i feel, its just peaceful. back then in my childhood it was different though, i enjoyed being with others but it changed sadly

 

[CatLvr]

My goodness, YES!! I could explain why but who cares. If I never saw another human (except for the occasional delivery driver) as long as I lived, and only listened to the sounds of nature and my darling cats' purring, I would die a VERY happy woman.
