I'm 31 and worse than i ever was in my teens. It's due to how much I've isolated myself. During my teens with school and stuff I had no choice but to be somewhat social. It's good to read a success s...

It'd be nice if you could share your research results with me. Here's my story. I was, and always have been home-schooled. And no, it wasn't the co-op, Christian social homeschooling; it was hard wor...

Starting sixth form tomorrow...

Starting sixth form tomorrow... If you are unaware what sixth form is it is where a 16 year old goes after they finish school. Although you get more freedom and you only study the courses you choose t...

Heh, yeah, and that's not really a cure at all, it's a symptom. EDIT: Being silent, I mean. It's forced upon us, in this sense, which isn't curing anything (just removing us from a world we want to t...

Wow that was some speech therapy. I took therapy in school all the way through high school but I honestly don't think it really helped much. I wish places like Reddit had existed when I was in school....

You are not alone in being alone. I too feel that sometimes. It is ok to feel this at times when you have designed your life to minimize social interactions. But recognize this quickly & try to ar...

Without any meaningful connections with other people, which is the most important thing if life, it's hard to think like that. ...

I hear you. I've also come to the point in my life where I realise that I've been wrong, oh so wrong, by avoiding social life at any cost. I used to think I was saving myself from constant and perpetu...

I've been to a concert alone because it was for a band i really liked and no one else knew them. I enjoyed seeing them but the overall experience was pretty lonely. I think concerts are one of the wor...

Hey there. I'm a bit of a lone wolf myself. With my work, I travel a lot so I end up doing things by my self sometimes. Going to a restaurant, show, movie, etc. I've gotten used to it. I do have a sma...

Anyone completely alone?

Anyone completely alone? My entire life, I've been going through the the motions you're supposed to go through. Go to school, get good grades, go to university, land yourself a job. Everyone single on...

I don't have a partner. I have nothing to fear except for you know the obvious things like crushing loneliness and all that but other than that I'm good. :^)...

No one understands how we feel.

No one understands how we feel. That is so frustrating. I went to a local rock show tonight. Before the show everyone was outside shooting the shit while I was the only one inside because I can't conv...

Never feel like you're struggling alone man. No one, stutterer or fluent, will be able to make a good impression on everyone. On the phone though, it's just some faceless asshole who its better to jus...

Stuttering has made me an incredibly cynical person. I do not connect with people that are not in my immediate family. My cynicism brought me to the realization that romantic relationships are a compl...

Is it though? I dont know about you but I can directly attribute my depression and anxiety to stuttering. I can also confidentially say that it is the main reason why I am a loner and will never have ...

> There are plenty of jobs you can do with out having to talk. Sure, I'll do data entry for the rest of my life. Or maybe I would be lucky enough to find a job somewhere in a backroom loading boxe...
