So I was researching the negative effects of social isolation, and I noticed that a lot of articles liked to act like social isolation is exclusively involuntary (such as prison or experiments) or the symptom of an anxiety related mental disorder.
I'm socially isolated, and I'm neither in prison, nor do I have any anxiety disorders, and I felt like writing why I choose to be alone before I go to bed. And i thought it'd be funny to share it with all of you and see what you think.

I have no desire to be their plaything. I would be their friend but they don't want a friend, they want an alternative to the telly; mindless passage of the time. I am not the answer to their bPost too long. Click here to view the full text.
