How hard is it for you to meet other people when you have bad dp/dr?

For me it is hard to be at work and meet other people.

I find it extremely difficult to be around others, and alot easier to be alone. I have found most people are difficult to be around this includes close friends and family butnot my dog (and yes he thinks he is a person so qualifies). I avoid social interactions and have had to quit my job...

I can identify with rhama so much... I had to quit my job eventually as well..

I have preety crpa social skills because well I never learned any social skills and suffered from extreme shyness al my life, I moslty just skatebaorded and listeineted to music then moved on to smoking weed and talking about crap that no one apart from a group of brother stoners would even give the vaguest shit about. so yeh I am crap with people, generally, and I dont know how to ocmmunicate with peopl eye to eye, in that I get stuck in a mental stutter and kind of my brain fucks up and starts looping often, lots of fun crap, I must be a fucking computer.

I can relate fallingfree. In real life, I had one really good friend in high school and we remain best friends til this day, but other than that, my social skills outside of my family and one friend are horrific. Like you, I linked up with the stoned and deranged crowd when I was around 15, because they didn't care what I said, did or thought. I have to say that there was an odd bond there, but I don't know if it counts since these people were living on Jupiter all the time we conversed with one another. I just really seem to get along with alcoholics, schizophrenics--afflicted people in general. I just like being in the company of people who know what struggle is.

This also just about sums me up, I converse heavily with my cat though.

Meeting new people is like starting off with a clean slate. I love it.

Being around other people is very difficult for me because I don't remember how to 'be'. It's the exact polar opposite of how I use to be before everything happened. I was comfortable with myself and others anywhere I happened to be. Now, I would rather be alone. I have a dachsund that I wish wasn't around sometimes, too. That's mainly because a lot of the time she seems to be so emotionally needy...as odd as that sounds. I can't deal with 'needy' people or animals. It seems to pull on a part of me that's not there but it causes a sense of 'draining' me of something that I can't spare at the moment. Maybe that's because when I was 'needy' at the onset of all this, there was no one there for me. I don't know.

I HATE it, because I feel that I have to perform. I'm not really me; I'm acting the person that I think people would WANT me to be it. It causes extreme anxiety for me, unless it's a really close friend, and I have few of those. I'm a very private person, and I'm more comfortable alone than with others. I WANT to be close to others. I get very lonely sometimes, but I just pretend that I'm happy and confident.

I avoid real people like the plague. I like internet people very much, though .
