Apart from my sibling.

That's the most depressing thing about lockdown. There's no one I really want to meet up with anyway.

I've been keeping in touch with people via Whatsapp and video calls, but I my cousin mentioned being desperate to meet up with people in person and I realised that I don't like anyone enough to feel all that bothered about actually seeing anyone in person.

That makes me feel quite empty.

Well, I hope you meet someone soon that changes that feeling and I also hope they feel the same way about you.



Putting this here, hope it brings you a smile.

That‘s part of Autism.

Or Schizoid personality like me?

They often overlap I guess.

I don’t really “miss” anybody.

It doesn’t mean I don’t have a few long-term friends.

It doesn’t mean my life is “empty.”

There’s more to life than people, in my opinion.

I’m sorry you’re feeling “empty.”

Same here- there is literally one person I "miss." In my case, that's the one friend I see most weekends. Turns out we're not great at phone conversations, which sucks. Most of the people I see in my day-to-day life, well, it might be nice to see them again afterwards. Might. I guess we're pre-adapted to deal with solitude, which is good right now...

It takes a substantial amount of alone time before I miss anyone.

I've never missed any people in my life but I don't feel empty because of this. As The_Face_of_Boo said I always thought it was a part of Autism for some people.

Me neither. I know that it'll cause mixed feelings if I start thinking too hard, so I don't. I'll just keep my thoughts on the matter on the surface level and be glad that I don't have to suffer in that particular way unlike many other people. :roll:
