To coup with separation anxiety? i know hobbies are the main go to for these moments, and this talk to screen stuff only works so well for this feeling, basically trapped by myself shipped wrecked lately. i see people daily, definitely try not to bother them because totally afraid to find out what's on other people's islands at this point.

big thanks to lockdowns on making an isolationist feel extremely more isolated.

I like to dutch oven my moms cat when I visit by tricking it with treats and using a blanket she keeps on the couch for her naps. I trap it when I can feel the intestinal burst approaching and the cat can smell the treats in my pocket.

I only have been scratched a couple of times because I've mastered the art of trapping the cat and expulsing the gas into an area of the blanket I am not directly in contact. Silent but deadly works sometimes but if my mom hears it or sees Peanutbun's reaction I get a scornful glance and she usually takes 5 minutes to calm down.

This is my hopeful activity that fills me with joy and cured my depression.

This is solid advice. You should sue Dr Phil for his TV show.

Not sure if can upvote, can easily thank you for a laugh from such an isolated day as I've just experienced though.

Cheers and good luck next round of dutch oven vs cat.

I'm glad you had a giddy chuckle, friend. Check out my posts for some comedic relief.

The logic is basically: Being lonely and lacking social skills can make you hyperaware of the bad in social situations. It makes you more awkward and antisocial than you really are.

Solution? Just go out with no expectations. The more you force yourself to open up a bit, the better you'll be and more relaxed you'll become.

Read the Bible cover to cover. Get your finances in order. Make a budget, learn to invest. But a cheap used guitar. Free online classes from student if universities. Hillsdale has then on the Constitution, the Bible, and find some sort classical literature. Learn to work on your own car. Tons of tube videos showing you how. Watch quality classic movies. Get out in the fresh air and day hello to people.

Go be social. Deliberately join social activities, clubs, etc rather than staring a Poal. Lockdowns are irrelevant unless you live in a Communist shithole (move) or deliberately stay at home all day (knock it off).

Separation anxiety is usually the result of co dependence.

Maybe you just mean social anxiety? In which case you set goals, write them down and use ScopDex. Scopolamine and Dexedrine, together.

Writing your goals down is very important. It's the number one best way to visualize success.

Once written down, the ScopDex helps you get started while also dissociating you from your emotions that are preventing you from getting to it, in the first place. Some people use ketamine.

But writing what you want and listing goals is step 1. Day, week, month, year, decade plans.

If you can't tackle something you've set yourself on, for whatever reason, break it down into smaller, more manageable parts.

If it's just separation anxiety, be a dog sitter. You can be each other's support animal.

Pretty sure read that same saying somewhere else today. So at least I'm not the only one searching for a solution.

Definitely find that a hard behavior to understand or follow. Basically I've been memorize pattern, and make sure follow pattern, although last month did something like that to establish a routine of exercises to help with decaying. Only managed to log the first half of month until becoming ingrained to the behavior.

I'll have to work on the long term goals, seems whenever I set those something gets in the way.

This is why we shouldn’t flee the cities. In particular the real cities, San Fran, Boston, New York and Philadelphia. Because walking around instead of driving, literally bumping into fellow neighbors is how people should live.
