I'm 39 and live with my 3 year old dog. I have a few friends that I rarely see and I work from home. I've been told that I should make more friends but they're so hard to come by. Plus It's hard for me to connect with other people on a deeper level. I use my dog to opt out from social gatherings, not that i get a lot of invitations. Firstly due to social anxiety, Secondly is because I find people disappoint. So I choose my dog. I'm content but maybe it's unhealthy to be this isolated?
