Your post so described me! I too have been lurking here a long time (about a year, just like you) and not posting. I think the main reason I've started posting is because I felt kinda like a weird scary stalker knowing so much about all the people here and not reciprocating.

I've drifted away from my friends for the same reason. They just don't understand -- they think that because I don't have gaping wounds that I'm not really "sick". My relationship with my in-laws is a little tough, too. But, on the plus side, my family is really great about it. They know when to shut up and when to be concerned.

Linz (I think?) posted a new thread awhile back about making friends. What was hysterical about the thread was that several people replied, but to say they had the exact same problem. I literally have no friends anymore except for one, and I never see her. I have no idea how to make new ones, because all I do is work. I don't have time to do classes or extracurricular activities. I have wanted to join a church for a long time, but I can't right now (long unrelated story). I've been at my current job for nearly four years and there's really no one there with whom I can connect. I tend more towards being a loner, so most of the time it doesn't really bother me, but sometimes I just want to be able to call up a girlfriend and go shoe shopping.

Good luck in getting your life a little less lonely. If anything works for you, pass it on to the rest of us -- I think quite a few of us are in the same boat.
