Hello there, i always dreamed to get instantly rich so that i did not have to meet and deal with people in my life, i always dreamed to be rich and be able to live alone for the rest of my life. The idea of making friends/finding soulmate terrifies me , i always try to hide it to the public and try to make it look like i want people to meet, but in reality i am horrified at the idea. That i will meet someone that cares about its own feelings only and never feeling anything about my feelings and emotions , to be backstabbed, to be betrayed , to be hurt by that someone. I had past negative experiene both with my parents and with people, i am always afraid "that group of friends will drag me back to that bad company". I also feel weird and a sense of inferiority around people of my same gender , because i know they are better then me, always the need to compare, and i can't stand it. I don't want to be around people , they only give me negative feelings and the fear that something bad may/will happen to me. I prefer to be left alone . I want a life of solitude and only to be focusing at my own plan of self growth that i built for myself. Sharing that with someone makes me feel rather unwell , i am a very private person, i don't like to share my life with somebody else , that is not me. I don't want people to disrupt or ruin my life .

Thank you. It is a such a relief not having to deal with people! AI is a very reliable tool for us introverts.

Any advice?

I feel completely unlovable. I have a difficult time getting close to people because of my OCD and I have to force myself to not compulsively seek reassurance. I feel like I’ll never find my person. I’m worried I’ll be an awful wife because of my inability to do anything. I want to show up for my partner, but I feel stuck because of my OCD. I think it’s safer to just be alone.

OCD & social isolation

I remember reading a comment someone had made to one of my posts on an OCD subreddit and they told me how they believed their OCD symptoms got worse during a time in their life when they were socially isolated. Reading this comment made the brightest lightbulb go off in my head because it basically summarized most of what I’ve been going through. In addition to OCD, I also struggle with depression and social anxiety. I feel like these three things and the profound sense of loneliness I’ve felt throughout my years in college (undergrad) feed off of each other. I know that OCD can manifest in so many different ways regardless of what your social life looks like, but I can’t help but feel like the lack of relationships (specifically friendships)/community in my life has something to do with my mental health and the delay in my recovery. Side note: I’m still relatively new to NOCD, but I’m happy to say that I’ve been making some good progress in my therapy sessions <3
