This may sound stupid, but I’ve always had problems making and keeping social relationships.Whenever I was in groups (frinds, schoolmates etc), I somehow eneded up being bullied (which now looking back, makes sense, since kids/teens jump on you in an instant, if they notice you are socialy incapable).
I’m usually fine spending 2-4h around people once a week or so, but anything more than that feels exhausting and stressing af, therefor I don’t really have any friends and I also don’t feel like I’d be comfortable with friends anyway.

On the other hand, since I was born I’ve never trully been alone.Shared my room with my sister, my grandparents were always home with me (since they were retired) and when I was 19, a few years ago, I moved out of my family’s house, i moved in straight with my boyfriend in our (rented) place.
So yea, I’ve never been alone.

We both work from home since the pandemic, so now everytime my boyfriend leaves for more than a few hours, I start to panick.He will be gone for 3-4days and it’s only me and our cat.

I know there’s absolutely no reason to worry or be stressed, but most of you here probablly kow that this is not how this works.

He just left so I’m currently fine, but the thought of being alone for so long stresses me out .Any tips to keep this from going into a panick attack sooner or later?
