For feeling selfish for feeling lonely

48 days since I spoke to an adult.

I live with teenage DC, no partner. I'm NC with parents and wish it to stay this way. I have friends but we've never been phonecall people - regular chatter on WhatsApp and perhaps weekly meet-ups or days out. We went into self isolation a week before lockdown as DD was symptomatic.

I'm actually quite introverted and I'm quite enjoying the time at home with the DC, playing games, going on walks and getting jobs done...but dear god I miss speaking to an adult.

I don't even feel I can phone my friends for a chat. They are mostly NHS or self employed and their lives are a million times more shit (and busy) than mine right now.

This is just such a sad, odd lonely time. No point to this thread really, maybe to see I'm not alone in feeling like this, maybe just to get a bit more human interaction?

Text your friends and say you're missing your meet ups and would anyone be up for a phone call/Zoom chat. They may be busy but might still like to hang out with their friends.
