Incessant lonliness

Post Reply New Topic

I would be unable to properly care for a pet due to depression.

What do you recomend to someone thaat cant stand animals for over 5 minutes then?

The aquistion of social skills and the desire to test them out via practical experiment!

Unfortunately that is easier said than done and there is probably a fascinating article on Wikipedia to read! (sarcasm)

I have a maltese-poodle mixed dog whom I love dearly.

I have recently realized that I'm much better off alone, and am no longer sad or depressed, so no need to cope. I don't like caged animals though, because I always forget to feed them then they die. I prefer pets that can sit on your lap and roam the house freely, like cats and dogs mostly.

Ah yes... loneliness... I know it all too well...

I, like many others on here have mentioned, still live at home with my parents (I'm in my early 30's) and I too get embarrassed about it sometimes, but honestly I know that I would have a difficult time coping with the day to day things if I was on my own

And frankly... who wants to live alone? Especially an aspergian who gets so little social interaction anyway... I think I would just shrivel up and die if I had to do that.

I recently wrote a poem about the inherent contradictions of solitude at a time when I was feeling especially lonely... Its written in a way that I think every aspergian can relate to...
I posted it on here somewhere, but I don't have the link at the moment so I will just repost it...

The Conflict
I will keep out the chaos and shield you from the love.
I bring comfort... and peace... and discontentment.
I will never ridicule you and never praise.
Rest in my arms... I will swallow you in my weariness.
I ask for nothing in return... only your life.
I am the enemy.
I am a trusted friend.
I am solitude.
