Stay safe Reba- hopefully it's nothing bad. I remember seeing a lot of tornado warnings when I lived in SC.

I certainly understand that very very well. I don't know what advice I can give you since I find myself in similar scenarios. Not always depression related (that's a whole other kettle of fish), everything to do with social anxiety or being an introvert.

For me even if I go out and "join clubs" or whatever is out there, I still have a very difficult time interacting-- hearing OR deaf- it's stressful. I was just thinking about that earlier- I am not the same offline as I am online- I tend to go to some event or club or even the meetup thing (which I've given up on), sit there, people-watch then leave. Same scenario for hearing events and deaf events. I'm shy and an introvert and no amount of someone saying to me "Well GET UP and go INTRODUCE yourself!!!" will change that- I still will have difficulties. What helps- sometimes is if I go somewhere with someone I already know. With the meetups I stopped going as there was no way to have an interpreter for the lecture part at least (it's not a business thing- more like a 'casual get-together' so who pays? Me? No money ;) ).

Only a fellow introvert (one of my closest friends is and knows exactly what I mean lol) would understand.
 
Derek, I have seen you in at least one FB group. Is there no one from that group that lives near you and you could hang out with? I bet there is. Chicago's a big city.

I'm sorry that things aren't going your way. You've had some recent disappointments with people.

I can empathize with you. I'm a terrible introvert, and was never "popular." I wasn't unpopular either--I was a non-entity, and that can be worse.

That being said, popularity is highly overrated. Maybe you feel like an outsider because you're trying to join groups that aren't the right fit for you. If the group isn't your fit, you need to find a group (or individual) that is the right fit. It may take a long time (can be discouraging) but don't give up.

My suggestion will sound trite and overused but it's true. If you focus more on finding activities that you enjoy just for the sake of enjoying the activity by itself, you will probably come across others of like mind. Secondly, turn your focus outward. There are other people who need your friendship. I don't mean taking on some pitiful being as a fix-it project or becoming someone's servant. You don't want to control another person's life or let another person control you. But there are people in this world who can benefit each other and enjoy their time together.

You have much to offer, and there are people out there who will recognize that. Don't give up.

:hug:

The tornado did touch down locally but not our neighborhood. There was damage but no injuries.

We kept watching the weather warnings on TV until late at night. The thunderstorm was scary.

Nicely said, Reba, good advice for all who are feeling like Derek.

Could be. I have a bad thyroid, too, and I think it can have various weird effects.
 
Hurricanes in SC, sure but how prevalent are tornadoes there?

It's not exactly tornado alley but we do get them or threats of them at least once a year in our area. We have bad thunderstorms, so there's always the possibility. The ones we get cause damage but they're not usually like the mega-tornado size ones of the midwest.

It can be tricky getting and maintaining the right dosage.
