How to deal with feeling of isolation?
How to deal with feeling of isolation?
I'm likely on a yet another burnout cycle, and I have little to no possibility of meeting with people thanks to the place I live. I also have trouble with socializing in general, even in online spaces.
Since my current job I don't make enough to move or to live alone, and the only better place would cost me more than the Hungarian minimum wage (of which I make less than thanks to labor programs 🤢), I cannot really change this, also would only marginally help me since I always had issues with socializing.

“Someone told me the other day that he felt bad for single people because they are lonely all the time. I told him that’s not true I’m single and I don’t feel lonely. I take myself out to eat, I buy myself clothes. I have great times by myself. Once you know how to take care of yourself company becomes an option and not a necessity.”
~ Keanu Reeves
I am not sure if that quote is helpful. Reality is humans long for companion of some kind, we are social animals and that includes us on the spectrum. Company becomes a option when you are assured that it is there for you if you need it. But it is not for most of us.
the blessed keanu is a supermodel introvert. not everybodys path or optionset. But yes you should love and trust and secure yourself first, to be best ready for embracing others.
That seems to be fully off topic.
To neurotypical, possibly: yes.
Did you just call me neurotypical? Why
