Lol 90% of my conversations are with myself. I don't even have Siri.

And the library is where the party's at for me. Hon, you have nothing to worry about.

Most of my conversations outside of work are with my dog.  He listens and answers too, well in dog.  Other than that I escape in anything to not think of GD.  Books, programming, music, sleep, anything except GD.  I'm not always successful.

Dogs have a rather robust language all their own.  My beagle is one heck of a conversationalist.

I love the library, and the book store.  Tons of books in boxes.

Here is something I like to remind people of:

It is okay to talk to yourself, and fine to argue with yourself, but if you get in a fight with yourself and you lose, you've got a problem.

    Nothing wrong with that. One benefit of talking to yourself is that you don't have to deal with anyone else's crap. If you crave the human interaction however, there are ways to increase it without a lot of added anxiety.

    If you're a bit of a gamer and play any MMO's, especially FPS games, join a clan and get on their Teamspeak. It's a great way to make friends with fellow gamers and is a great opportunity to practice a feminine voice. While there are trolls and bigots out there, it's not that difficult to find a clan that doesn't stand for cyber bullying.

    If gaming isn't your thing, take one or two aspects out of your life and turn them into an opportunity. If you're a foodie, especially if you like coffee, find a place you enjoy going to and is budget friendly enough to become a regular. Just make sure you tip, as it will instantly win you supporters, even if they're begrudging ones. As you see the same faces over and over, a sense of comfort and familiarity develops. This can lead to some fairly strong friendships, if quirky in its origin. This same concept goes for any retail location you have an inkling to frequent. If there is a religion you practice, you can find accepting places of worship and religious leaders that can at the least provide solace and a listening ear. Most other activities have some form of online forum that can help you develop other friendships.

    Just because all your meaningful human interaction is online, it doesn't make it any less valid. Nor does it make you a loser. There are ways to find live companionship, if only in small bursts at first, if that is an emotional need you have. The only true way to be a "loser" is to completely give up on what you feel you want and need in life. Stay Safe and Strong.

HUGS!
