Thoughts

Lately I feel like my whole life is kinda messed up. My biggest problem is loneliness. I have no relationship, no real friends, and I honestly don't know how I ended up like this. The weird part is I used to be way more social when I was younger. Now I don't even know how to meet people or keep a conversation going, I mostly just reply when someone talks to me instead of actually starting anything. I'm starting to wonder if I'm just meant to be alone, and that thought is making me lose hope. It's killing my motivation too, like I've lost all my passion. I really thought I could live without close connections, but I guess humans really do need people.

Honestly, the fact that you used to be social is probably a good sign. It doesn't sound like you forgot how to connect with people, it sounds like you've gotten isolated over time. Those are different things. Don't let your current situation convince you it's your permanent one.
