In all honesty i just don't know what to say... I just want a hug someone but i have no one. I'm so emotionally deprived. I haven't talked with anyone for two years. I've answered questions, asked a few questions here or there and made small talk when i needed to, but i haven't really talked. I have no clue how to reach out and i'm not in the best situation to anyways... my question is, is it normal or should i have been fine? is it normal not to be fine after all this time?

    You're the only person who can do something about your isolation and need for contact, no-one is going to come knocking on your door with hugs and affection.

    Your choice: you must have some interests or hobbies and if not, find some and then find other likeminded people. It won't be easy, but your life is not going to change unless you reach out, in small ways at first.

    Do you want to be living like this for the rest of your life?

    I have a tendency to isolate a lot, which is why this site has really helped me. I had some dear friend's who used to bug me about not isolating, but we've lost touch, because of me. It's my fault. I'm ashamed of my depression and anxiety. I'm ashamed of my lack of career success, and ashamed of not working in my field of study.

      You have a lot to give, RoseIsabella. You're a smart woman and I don't know if you've ever mentioned your field of study, but I'm sure whatever it is you'd be an asset.

      Easier said than done, I know, but just sayin.

        Thanks, that's very kind of you to say. My initial field of study the first time I went to college in my 20s was Radio, Television & Film. Unfortunately I made the terrible mistake of dropping out to get married to mistake number one. I did take some courses back in the spring time, and I was signed up for about 12 hours this fall semester, but thanks to hurricane Harvey and some unfortunate personal drama I will probably have to drop all but two of the courses. I'm not entirely sure of what I want to major in, but I was technically going for an associate of arts, but I'm not entirely sure, because now my life is up in the air.

          Yeah you do kind of talk like a radio host now that you mention it.

            Thanks, I will take that as a supreme compliment. Sadly, that part of my life has been over since midsummer 2001, and that part of my heart has been dead since then as well. I would love to be in broadcasting again, but it's been nearly a short lifetime since I had the pleasure.

            I moved back to my hometown in June of 2016 to be with the one who almost became mistake number three. When I turned on the nightly news and saw that the top female news anchor in town is someone with whom I had worked at a local radio station nearly twenty-five years ago it pained my heart, made me feel inadequate and like a massive failure.

              Probably feels like you quit too early but you got out of the wreck that is broadcast networking well before it started burning, at least. I'd say you left just in time.

    I'm like this. I order my stuff from store clerks, ask a few questions at work but I never speak to anyone outside of day to day business. No personal conversations, nothing.

    I think we all need personal contact and it boggels my mind why people see right through me like I am invisible.

    I am a jerk on this site because I come here to vent amd release my frustrations about the human race. I'm nothing like this in real life.

    Sorry this is happening to you.

    You don't enjoy being isolated, but you are. Not normal.

    I feel isolated too. I reach out but it's almost always one-sided and it gets tiresome. So I just keep to myself now.

    It wouldn't be normal TO be fine. That's how you know you're human.

    Don't worry, it will only become worse before it becomes better.
    You will only need to wait 1,000 years or more, before that happens!

    There aren't many of us left. When I was a younger man, I personally knew 10,000 to 20,000 people, from just about all walks of life, who I was able to sit down with and have a wide variety of thoughtful and meaningful conversations with. I have been unable to find anyone for quite a few number of years now.

    There is a reason why this is happening, but they all seem to be completely oblivious to it. It really does become annoying and frustrating, and they are sometimes obnoxious people.

    Here's an article that you might like to read:

    http://www.bbc.com/news/business-41388080

    The real reason why this is happening, is because the world's geomagnetic field has been gradually weakening, and as a result, a greater and greater proportion of the world's population has developed space-brain dementia.
    But they can't quite seem to be able to figure that out. They have lost essential human qualities, of higher reasoning and rationalizing ability.

    It is a wonder that anything is still functioning, at all.
    But that will soon change. It is only because there are enough baby-boomers left in the world, who are able to draw upon life experiences that they had learned when the world was still normal. But they are now retiring, with some dying off.
    Then global civilization will suffer a catastrophic collapse. This is already happening in some places!

    Here's a song that you might like to listen to:
