Chronic 'medical' issues make daily-life 'difficult,' and my quality-of-life 'poor,' much of the time.
Nearly, every moment, every day, I'm inside my apartment (i.e. "a recluse"). I maintain no relationships (apart from my parents—and a community case-management worker).
Socially, I'm awkward; alienated & isolated 'to the max.' I'm resigned, to this situation; it's not 'my choice.'
Often, I find myself repeating, aloud, a 'mantra:' "I'm tired* (& lonely, & bored)!" (* Might-mean: weary, uncomfortable, fatigued, achey, ambivalent, uncertain, uneasy, demoralised, discouraged, discontented, unhappy, miserable, overwhelmed, dissociative…)
Simpatico relationships would benefit me; especially, if this could get me 'out,' more.
For my self-portraits, I don't 'smile' (in-part, because, I loathe 'pretention'—'for the hell-of-it,' I feigned a 'cheerful' demeanor, for one (1)).
