How would you feel if you had no peer friends for last 17 years?

All that I can tell you is to try your best to remember what it is that you do still have in your life and to look on the bright side where what you don't have is concerned. Having no peers only means less additional problems to end up on your own plate. Not to sound insensitive of course, but when you look at the news these days, you will only see how the choices that certain people make only end up impacting other people and not in a good way and so when you look at the matter that way, maybe isolation isn't so bad after all.

God bless you always!!!

The only person in my life in any meaningful way is my wife.

Personally I think friendships are overrated.

It always seems to me that people want far more from me than I want from them so having friends is just exhausting

Not since we left in 1983. Only online, I visit the 500-apartment house I used to live in.

What occupies the day

Friendships, are are the vetting prospects for worthy enemies...

Grow the fuk up and stop blaming your personal failures on some undiagnosed condition.

I could probably say the same... but it's rather my own fault as I just.. I dunno... prefer to be alone. Nobody seems to u/stand me, so..

I, on the other hand, kind of do, so there's that...
