Hi @creative_writer
Yes l can feel lonely around people.
I am careful who l trust and mix with.
But l try to do things.
If more than one other, l am happy to feel lonely and not engage.
When we hear others, we can decide if they are people we trust.
A function or wedding. Many people. I prefer one on one.
But l am happy to feel lonely.
It is better than talking to others when many do not listen.
I do not feel lonely at Sane.
We are all lived experience.
Someone who copes well and never had an issue like me pre 2007, may feel lonely here. No story to add

I actually find this forum relaxing
I am doing end of financial year paperwork on one computer
Sane is on the other computer. So much easier than one finger typing on the phone.
MasterChef on as well.
Relaxing. Enjoying the forum chats.

Hi @creative_writer
To add my dry humour to your post
You say:
[ I am just moping around while listening to sad music this morning ]
I say, make you mum happy.
Add a P to Moping around
and start Mopping around!

Hi @creative_writer
I think they named a movie after your inspiration to cleaning the house
