Why is it that social isolation increases with age for NLDers?
I think it does not have to be necessarily so!
Social isolation is something like a downward spiral - to be avoided!!
I was much more isolated in my late teens and up to age 30 than I am now at 47.
As long as I didn't know about my condition - and only thought I was maybe stupid, lazy - and in any case a disappointment for my mother, I tended to avoid people.
Since I know what is "wrong" with me - and that it is not anything to be ashamed of - I have been more outgoing, not all the time doubleguessing myself and my reactions ...
I sincerely hope that social isolation will decrease for you!! (If you suffer from loneliness).
Kind regards,
