I think I have a problem. I came to the conclusion last night that I don’t want to be around people any more. Don’t get me wrong I love my children and grandkids but I just can’t be bothered any more. If I can’t have my wife I don’t want anyone; but I still have to go to work and pretend to be fine with all that goes on around me. Anyone else? What do I do? Ignore it? Soldier on?
Puddin, have you seen your GP? It might be you need some help to get through this as what you have described sounds like depression. I do struggle sometimes, for example when I go out with my ex school friends (from many years ago) who all still have their husbands and I feel like I can’t join in some conversations. But I think that’s just my grief, not depression. Please have a chat with someone x

Some people do prefer their own company on the whole.
Not everyone is the same.
Yes have to mix a bit but if the mixing isn’t edifying now I would prefer to give it a miss.

I totally understand and I think it’s normal because of what we’re all going through. I think it’s always important to acknowledge our feelings and accept them. There’s no right or wrong through this journey of grief and grieving. When I was going through this time, I did allow myself to keep my own company, I think it did help me to feel more able to cope with being around people and interacting. It takes time so be patient and kind with yourself is all I can suggest. Take care
