Sociopath Community

Around 14 hours daily, then 4-5 outside

Yes it's my desired amount, I'm quite introverted despite my charged and extroverted behaviour

Work, listen to music, chat online, watch movies, smoke weed, make plans and choke the chicken

It sucked? 

I've been completely isolated a few times. Not for long-- a day or 3 here and there. I find that how much it sucks depends on what type of preparation I'm able to cover before the isolating event. If the event is intentional (a long trip through empty countryside by thumb) it can be quite pleasant if the weather is nice. But getting stranded on an empty stretch of road with an empty tummy and no jacket in shitty weather is bloody awful.

oops

I think you mean solitude not isolation. They are similar in one way only.

First reaction, I agree with you it is probably not good... to ensure we are not seeing this from the same light and perhaps multiple "not goods" are out there... Edvard, would you be so kind as to elaborate your position?  How you see my loneliness amongst family as not good?

Your thought means more than you know...

 I don't know, one of the biggest benefits and arguably the purpose of having a family is not being alone. It's to have someone around to help and be helped when needed. It's to feel better, and be better off than alone, otherwise people wouldn't trouble themselves with family in the first place. Something is wrong and malfunctioning in your family if you feel alone among them. They either can't or don't want to reach you, or you don't want to let them in.

Think back when you and your wife were young and in love. Were you feeling alone back then too, or was there a connection that's now missing?

I hear you, though isolation and boredom makes mine worse. It seems the restlessness feeds it.

Thank you...

The little guys are too young to connect with in anything other than emtions right now.  You know, connecting with their success and failures and helping them cope with what they are feeling (Yea, me trying to explain and teach emotional control. HA!)... they can not reciprocate.  My second son, 17... Well, I think that says a lot. 

The oldest is trying to get his self straight after being diagnosed Bipolar II.  connection with the wife is gone, no sure what the connection ever was accept sex... And a codependent relation to allow us our vices.

youre spot on, Bird... It is not good.
