Comfortable in loneliness

[Courtm4511]

Hi, recently my boyfriend has been worried about my lack of social life. He went away for 16 days for training and during that time I either went to work or stayed home. I don’t have many friends and the ones I do I just don’t socialize with. I don’t feel like I can really connect with anyone anymore. I don’t drink or have any hobbies. I’m perfectly fine staying home and doing my own thing if it means avoiding awkward interactions or feeling like I’m forcing myself on to people that really just don’t enjoy my company. It’s hard because he’s so social and is constantly telling me to make friends with this person or that person that he’s friends with but we’ve been together for a year and a half and it feels like none of his friends are really that interested in getting to know me. I really don’t want this to break our relationship but I really don’t mind being home to myself.

It sounds like you know yourself well and are at peace with your choice to not be the social butterfly. I am old and have made huge mistakes relationship wise so all I can say is be true to yourself, its so hard when we give up ourselves for another. I am not great at advice in this area but maybe, just maybe that will help in a small way.
