Dealing with Social Anxiety and Loneliness in My 30s

I am a very anxious and secluded person as well, although I am married. My problems have gotten much worse the last few years and it has caused problems in my marriage. It's seems that we go in circles because she can not relate (she is a very social person). So even being with someone I feel so alone...

Hi. I understand where you are at as far as feeling incredibly lonely, yet (for me any) feeling more comfortable in solitude to avoid the anxiety. I am in my early 30s and seeing other people live their lives and see them move forward in life upsets me, but I also remind myself that they have their own struggles that I don't see. Life isn't a race, but a one time experience we have and I know I dont want to spend that time hating myself, feeling lonely, and comparing myself to others. I am.working to be more social despite my anxiety and I have found it actually helps some.
