Fighting loneliness and bits of depression.
The easy part when being too addicted to either computer games or movies, etc. Is to not be self aware of one`s situation, I could stay lots of time in isolation not caring much if noone calls me, or even be bother if having to see people. I kinda stopped games like 1 year ago, havent done much in life, now I am 45 years old, I get money from family to live. My brothers used to sometimes ask me if i want to visit them, I did not used to care. Yet i asked a bunch of times and they are like I am busy. So why should i bother? Part of me gets stuck into this self pity loop, thinking if i do this or that one day people will like me, while never talking to anyone in real life, barely. Yesterday at a gym I talked to people somehow , problem is maybe people notice how desperate i am to talk that at some point people get fed up of me. Even the cat at the gym kinda got fed up of me being needy. When this happens i tend to go back to a pool of despair, and going back to isolation or not talking.
Hey - I'm sorry you're feeling this way - sounds tough. I'm sure the folks (and cats) that you're chatting to aren't finding you needy or 'too much'. Everyone likes a bit of connection. Most people are kind and curious. Even if they don't show it. So good for you for getting out there and reaching out to people. But equally, if you're not feeling it, don't worry - you sound like a good person to keep yourself company! Be kind to yourself, take your time, one day at a time.
