Is there such a thing as social bipolar?

I tried to find a good meme to add to this post but, alas, I could not. I have been divorced for over 5 years and in that time I have not dated, flirted or had an extended conversation with a man. So, on a whim, and an insidiously perfectly time promotional email from Match.com, I signed up for online dating. I was interested and engaged in the pursuit of human interaction for a week or two and then, I don’t know, I got bored? Or tired? Suddenly the thought of talking, texting or purposefully stringing words together to form sentences became too much to handle. And it’s not just this dating site incident, I do this all the time with chat rooms, and forums, and coworkers and even with family members. I feel this manic desire to talk, plan and connect to people for a time and then it turns sour in my psyche and with no warning I’m suddenly sickened by the very thought of acknowledging anyone. So I stop visiting the chat rooms, the forums, the texts, the phone calls, or even my front door. And I’m filled with this weird mix of apathy, shame and guilt. Then a few months will pass and the feeling comes back and I’ve been repeating this cycle for years and years. Anyone else have this happen to them?

Good morning

I have read your article

In my case I can try to make friends but if I find they are too dominant or even offensive to me I walk away

This will explain why I am on my own
