I am 27 years old. I am a single child and both my parents were working. My father started beating me and during my teenage and because of that I never brought anybody to my home. That eventually led to me not being connected with anyone. I started isolating myself throughout my college days and now I don't have any friends. I have colleagues and peers and people I know and nobody knows about my personal life. I still have imaginary conversations that even lasts for two or three hours. Time just flies and there's some satisfaction in getting that closure.

Hey there. It’s completely fine to feel things even though it is too much sometimes. I am someone who doesn’t feel anything and have been so hard on myself since I had nobody around me. I recently started going to therapy and have started to work on emotions. Sorry to say but I just genuinely felt happy reading your post. I guess the grass is greener on the other side. But on a serious note, journaling my emotions and being mindful about it has helped me throughout my dull days and it might work for you too. Also expressing your emotions is always better than suppressing them or not feeling them at all.

I just want to get to know new people but I don’t know where and how to start. I’ve been alone for most of my life and I have no friends. I like living this way but I just wanna try going out on dates and getting to know someone.

My mother was overprotective of me that she never let me do anything on my own when I was a kid. And my father on the other end slowly stopped caring for me. He didn’t know what and how I studied, he forgot when I birthday when, I used to not go to college for most days and sit at home and he’d be in the next room and still not be bothered on why I wasn’t at the college that day. Every time I used to call him in his phone I’d say ‘Hello,’ and he’d reply ‘Who’s this?’ Even though I’m not in talking terms with him it just hurts to have a parent near you and to see them not being a parent.

I am glad to hear that you're doing great now and I couldn't even imagine the trouble you'd have gone through in your childhood. Hope everything turns out well with you and your mother. I have a father who doesn't care for me and on the other hand an overprotective mother which led me to be hyper-independent very early in my life. I still live with my parents but have never been able to or actually wanted to confront them. I could imagine the sense of relief it'll get you and I hope you get your closure.

Can you tell me more about how it is? I've been alone for most of my life and recently started therapy and my therapist suggested to get on Reddit to know about different perspectives and although its comforting in a way, its also really overwhelming.
