I need more people in my life.

This sounds a little weird, so I am reaching to people in hopes that I don't go insane.

Let me explain my situation:

After living alone for a long time I realise that my thought process wasn't very beneficial for my mental well-being. I realised this when I made 238 accounts for different things in hopes 'that no one knows who I am'

I am have since kinda come around to a more sane way of thinking, but after living alone for so long, I realise that I am massively lonely.

So I am reaching out to users on the thwack forum (as sad as this sounds) and would generally like more people to chat to.

If people want to, you can add me on here, or if you want an email or whatever.

I will add that I am not one of those weirdo cat people. I simply realised that my life isn't very healthy for me and I am now trying to change the way I live.

I'm sorry to hear that Shaun, a bar of chocolate a box set and a beer always makes me happy.

I sadly have a little history of consuming a lot of alcohol and then keep drinking it. Problem is that my life was so structured for such a long time that simply I am now in uncharted territory. Doing things that other people do such as going out and socialising seems a very daunting task.

Plus chocolate is a drug and I don't watch TV. Or have Netflix.

Start something new join a club, volunteer, make friends by putting yourself in a position where socialising is not the primary concern and making friends is inevitable. Don't "go out" per se, do your own thing... make waves.

Be positive, no matter what. The world is your oyster. Especially us techies. We are all special.

Have you tried using meetup.com to find locals with similar interests?

Facebook (and other social media) can put you in touch with many former acquaintances from school and social groups (work, church, common interest groups, hobbyists, etc.). They can also serve to introduce you to new people with similar interests and hobbies who may become your friends and get you laughing and expanding your social horizons.

Make new friends in person first, though. You'll get SO much more value out of face time than you will via screen time.

But if you live where there are few people to meet and talk with in person, online resources abound. Be safe and secure, and read up on trust and the Internet so you aren't ever in the position of having increased your vulnerabilities unacceptably simply trying to find new friends. There are a zillion trite motivational posters out there that state you have to risk your heart to gain much. They are NOT inaccurate.

Don't risk your financial future through becoming vulnerable to identify theft or worse.

This forum is a great place to share technical monitoring challenges and learn about Solarwinds products. Develop professional relationships here, develop personal relationships using other solutions--hopefully in person in instead of remotely.
