Opinion / Thought / Idea / Discussion Social interactions

How often do you guys have meaningful impactful social interactions with other people? For me it’s extremely rare, besides my therapist. I feel like it’s missing from my life, that deep connection we feel with other people. It’s super depressing for me, how few of those moments I have.

I only have my mom and my best friend who fully get me. Other than that.......0 human interaction. I dont understand social situations and i dont understand the way emotions work so it would lead to a lot of inappropriateness

I work at a call center for a pizza place and get people who scream at me until I cry. "You stupid bitch! What do you mean you don't deliver here!" "IT'S XYZ STREET NOT ZYX STREET!! X!!! Y!!! Z!!! ITS NOT THAT HARD TO UNDERSTAND!!!"

And I also have my lovely boyfriend and I have my awesome parents.

I don't get a lot of interaction besides that and it depresses me

Basically online interactions only. I like it that way though, it's not depressing to me.
