i'd maybe like to meet new people (online at first anyway) but there are some major things going on in my life i've been working on for a few weeks, maybe a couple months now, that keep me from talking to literally anyone besides my partner. i'm practically stuck at home and can't even text/call up any of my friends or family, i can't leave home for most days (weeks) etc. i think i last met up with a friend f2f in the middle of june at my own surprise birthday party.

anyway i don't think it'd be a good idea to share the big thingy making my life weird and lonely anywhere online but maybe at a certain forum dedicated to people dealing with similar stuff and that's not really a place to pick up new friendships

i'd really love to take up the offer but it feels like maybe sort of tricking someone to start chatting without telling them what the thingy is that's potentially very overwhelming for others too. and gotta add that i'm not really sure how much i'm even making sense at this point of almost-isolation

If you find that too difficult, just don't mention that aspect of your life, nobody demands or even deserves your life story or every skeleton hidden in your closet... Especially when first meeting and getting to know each other

the thing is it's not something i could work through or get it finished, it's not going away - actually it's always been there but i just didn't know about it until a while ago. i'm going to need help with dealing with it and most likely it will get easier after some time but it doesn't make me feel less alone now to know that some day i'll probably be able to keep in touch with my friends and family again.

you're right about not having to tell everything when you meet new people or even to the ones you already know and share some things about yourself with. the problem here is that i sort of need the people i talk to to know about the big secrety thingy, i just don't think it's wise to talk about it to just anyone so i'm spinning here. hope this doesn't come out as too whiny/desperate, it just sucks to not be able to work this out alone and to know it'll take ages to get to the point where i feel i have enough help not to need to seek it from people that aren't qualified to take it on.
