Discussion solitude maxxing

[bluebook]

IDK if this belongs here or in off topic
I sometimes have an urge to be as alone as humanly possible, even more so that I am already. But even if you live completely alone and work alone, there are some aspects of socialization that will likely creep through. In my opinion, listening to podcasts, music, or even reading books all count as a form of socialization. It may not be a direct form of communication, but there still is some kind of interaction happening because someone else created the media, and you are interacting with it. I've never isolated myself to the extent of absolving from art and media, because they are entertaining and a good cope. But I wonder if anyone else here has reached this level of isolation, otherwise feel free to share your thoughts about isolation and how it relates to art/media

Sounds more like you want to detox from overstimulation.
The way you word it it doesn't sound like a social problem.

I feel you 100%. I'm isolated too since 4 years (no friends, no partner, no workplace anymore) and I don't want to be with other persons as nobody can understand me. But it's maybe better like that as I plan to CTB quite soon. I'm already a ghost so what's the difference ?

There is no problem, i'm just curious about this topic.

There is a limit to my isolation because of my living situation, unfortunately. My reasons for solitude are a bit different, its not just about being misunderstood but I also dont want to be understood. I dont want to be seen. I probably could make friends if I really, really tried, but the juice wont be worth the squeeze. I just dont enjoy the company of others anymore. But in this thread I am talking about the levels of isolation beyond just social, which could probably only be reached voluntarily and intentionally

possibly never lol, but thats OK

hmm have u heard of schizoid persolanity disorder? u could potentially relate. I know because I do

also the way you word things makes me wonder if you just dont want to be dependent on others to a big extent and/or want to look for way to escape society

Yes i know about schizoid, the psychologist said i didnt have it. I do almost fit the criteria, although my case apparently isnt extreme enough. I have something of a social life, but i feel like it is partially circumstantial, since i have a large family and i wasnt always like this. They said i have mild autism though. And yea i would love to escape society and be independent. Or maybe form a society of my own

Maybe try talking with other psychologists who will come to different conclusions. The opionions of one expert is nice and all but the opinions of numerous experts is FAAAR bettelr and far more reliable.....umm if you can afford it.

Hope you find a form of isolationism that is just perfect for you

Maybe i will one day but im not sure what a diagnosis would do for me

Maybe i will one day but im not sure what a diagnosis would do for me

Personally Ive read stories where after a person got correct diagnosis they would recieve a medication that would make them feel much more 'normal'(is there realy such a thing as a healthy normal in a world like this?...I just dont feel that the norm is all that healthy psychologically . EVen physically I dont see the norm as all that healthy either seeing as how more and more people are diagnosed as overweight and/or malnourished in some way.) and 'better'. SOmetimes the medication helped a person , sometimes the medication did not work at all for them. I got prescribed mirtazapene and for the first time in over a decade I actually fall asleep for 6-8 hours when I take it, rather thansleeping random 30 minute -3 hour naps over the course of the entire day lol . So my sleep schedule is more 'normal' now than it was 2 years ago. When I stop taking mirtazapene my body goes back to its old pattern of random naps throughout the day. Maybe my sleep sschedule before mirtazapene was better but Id doubt that seeing as how I feel a bit less groggy throughout the course of the dsy.

Also about isolation I read that regions where a culture of independence are becoming more popular the CTB rstes are either on the rise or currently high. (countries like south korea, lithuania, japan, latvia, norway, etc....) also regions that have low population densities and have scsttered and sparse 'pockets' of their population (like khazakstan , greenland, Nunavut, Russia, etc...) also have unusually high CTB rates. I am damned sure that there is a connection to the CTB rates and isolationism that each of the populations of these countries generally feel seeing as how greenland and Nunavut continuously year-after-year has the highest recorded CTB rates on the planet. So Id sayplay it very carefully when choosing extreme isolation if youhave little intention on CTBing....MAybe you in particular thrive in an environment of extreme isolation, maybe not...

 

[bluebook]

To be fair i would KMS too if i lived in greenland lol. Anyways I dont think there is anything wrong with me, and I dont need to be 'fixed' via medication or therapy (which is a line of thinking that is actually common in schizoids). I'm not scared of CTB, if I decide to do it one day then that is my decision. Im not including it as a factor for my lifestyle choices.
It seems like mirtazapene helped you sleep but did it improve other symptoms? I'm just a bit curious

For the mirtazapene Im taking I feel less depressed now that I am getting more sleep. I am not sure if me feeling less sadness episodes is cause of changes to my diet (I recently discovered that I have to start a starch free, dairy free, AND fructose free diet cause I am allergic to all those foods. I feel that this change in diet has made me feel less sad episodes too . But its only been 6 months which isnt long enough for me to be sure. I wamt to see how Ill feel about this diet in 6 YEARS lol) or changes to how often I exercise now(I do more cardio and calisthenics now than I did as a teen or in my early adulthood . The gains Ive gotten from calisthenics help me cause Ive always felt very self concious about my VEEERY skinny frame. I was bones as a kid cause I was poorer and couldnt afford enough to eat. Also I feel that after I do an intense cardio workout ALL my CTB voices in my head go silent for about an hour or two. This also happened when I was younger. Other people Ive talked to on other sites have said the same thing cardio just kills CTB thoughts for an hour or two .... Its very creepy....)

I also definitely have more energy now so I can do more things in a day. In the past, I would typically be so tired it would take me almost a week to do something that it would take any normal person a day to complete.

And yea many schizoids believe that they are just 'fixed' as they are without medication. I dont think that all schizoids or other people suffering from psychosis have to take medication cause some of them are just fine as they are. A person may be unusual but as long as someone is peaceful and well-meaning can we really say anything in them needs to be 'fixed'?

Also ya Id probably be trying to leave Greenland or CTBing if I lived there too. Its just so....boring and remote , good luck ever finding like minded people there if youre into niche things. Also its cold most of the year and I HAAATE the cold . I wear sweaters in the middle of summer. And the landscape is so monolithic, never changing - it will get too boring for me after a few decades.
