Thanks Thumpy, that means a lot I think you're a good guy too... a great guy in fact. So caring and empathic with everyone, and so expressive and soulful in everything you say. You really inspire me
Lol, so long as you ignore those posts where I'm an asshole.
I really understand your conundrum and working on yourself, and still wanting to be connected to people. I'm in a similar boat in recovering from my alcoholism and using mindfulness as a major tool in that endeavor.
I split my time between people and solitude. Finding the right balance can be pretty difficult, especially since I work with the public but live alone. I think I reached a good point when I learnt to let go of the disjointed feelings that such a disjointed life aroused in me.
Still working on it -- still have days when I don't want to see anyone, still have days when the loneliness gets pretty heavy.
