I find myself feeling dreadfully lonely or hopeless In social environments, like I try to make friends but I find it really hard to actually hang out or spend time with them.
I feel that way most of the time sometimes I don't know how to push myself.
Yeah i'm the same way.
I am introverted but I enjoy socializing with close friends every now and then and when I can't (like now) I fall into an abyss. It's hard for me because most of my friends live at a distance and travelling is not ideal during a pandemic.
Even though I have social anxiety I enjoy having people around me, so long as they don't bother me and I can just observe in silence.
Feeling lonely while surrounded by people is so much worse than feeling lonely when one is alone.
Adrenaline wears off though, so that anxiety fades pretty quickly (like when you leave)
Loneliness from being alone is like a depletion of seratonin and dopamine and whatever else. If you're not getting any of those feel good chemicals you're constantly in a state of vegetative depression
