i have been isolating myself from others the last 2 years, it mainly started when covid hit because i am high risk for respiratory infection i obviously had to limit going out in public. but i learned that i just don’t have to deal with people and their bullshit anymore, and i dont want to. i know, not everyone in the world is bad, but i used to be very social and outgoing and put myself out there all the time but it’s fucking exhausting and i got tired of it. i’m okay with being alone and keeping my social interactions minimal (tumblr and reddit allow me to interact with others online mostly anonymously) but lately my mom keeps telling me about my old friends / cousins/ extended family reaching out to her asking her about me since i deleted all my socials (except reddit and tumblr) but i just do not care to keep up with any of those people or relationships. i feel bad because i know my mom doesn’t know what to tell them when they reach out to her(i changed my number 2 years ago and told my parents/ siblings to NOT give my number to anyone under any circumstances) i know my mom wants me to try and reach out to someone outside of my siblings but i just dont fucking want to. people are exhausting and it’s exhausting just thinking about it. im fine being alone.
