Emerging from isolation?

Post Reply New Topic

Has anyone emerged from a prolonged period of isolation, like years of having minimal social contact, and tried to reintegrate?

How did it go? Can you start to pass as NT after enough practice? I feel so out of touch

Not yet, but I'm somewhat considering giving it a try. I have been very close to completely isolated for a couple of years now, and have had a tendency to spend a lot of time alone all through life.

I still live in the same small community I always have lived, though. So I doubt I would be passing for NT anytime soon. On the other hand, no one expects me to act NT either.


Do you have a reason for wanting to reintegrate?

I don't really "want" to as such, but I am thinking it would be the healthy choice. One can not always be alone. As it is, it's already getting hard to get anyone to help me with anything (i.e. a ride for picking up the car from the shop) ~ because I never interact with people so they just figure we don't know each other anymore (I guess).

Then they get offended if the only time it occurs to me to call is when I need something. I actually wouldn't know that about people but someone told me a couple of years ago, not in a mean way but by broadly hinting until even I was able to "get it" ~

I have had thoughts of reintegrating but those quickly vanished. Social disability is really a pain in the butt when your species moniker is social heirachys and game playing. now If I try to somebody will probably call homeland security on me. or the cops because something isn't right with this picture,
