I’m sorry to hear that, but I can relate (who can’t?). For an extrovert it’s simple, they meet with strangers and have a great day. For us intros it needs to be a meaningful connection to be noteworthy. Everything else is white noise. Working in an office i felt more alone than being home alone for months. Weird he?

Also yes. Be grateful, if you love your wifey and kiddos and they love you too, you already won the life-lottery. Luckily i don’t have kids, so my wife never really brings me into the “I’d kill to be alone” - mood, but i know this feeling too well too.
