At what point are you considered alone forever?

I have a diagnosis of PTSD due to child abuse. I have been made to feel that I am inadequate as a person, therefore I am awkward. I have had counselling. But I didn't leave home until I finally had the courage to do so in my middle 20's. Still, though, I feel different and other. I am better when I get to know people on a one on one basis. So at this time I only have two friends. I have a couple of other friends who are further away. We still keep in touch via email and phone, but that is my life. I do not measure my life. I am at the end now. So it is what it is.

Hi thisismarilyn,
I'm so sorry to hear about your child abuse! That's terrible! There is nothing wrong with staying home until your mid 20's. I was married at age 18 and a year later was divorced and back living at home until I was 45 when my mom died. I did eventually meet a wonderful man 30 years ago and married him. He recently died in July of lung cancer and I miss him. We loved each other very much. But I'm going on. Like you, I don't have a lot of friends either. I don't think you should feel different. I've read some of your comments on here and they are always nice, friendly and intelligent. Not everyone can write that way, but you do it very well. Have you considered writing?
I wish you the best. Remember, you will always have God. I will say a prayer for you.
PML
