The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

I prefer to be left alone nowadays. I work 6 days a week sun up to sundown i have minimal contact with people and i like it that way. Ill give the shirt off my back and will help anyone who needs it(and have done so and god has greatly blessed me for it). I am too a sinner, i see not that im better in fact, i think im worse. I feel left out in social scenes nowadays. I used to be the life of the party and knew everyone now im just a hard worker who no longer cares for the vannity. Its not that i hate people, its that i care too much. Anyone else in this situation? Am i alone being alone?

When one desert father told another of his plans to “ shut himself into his cell and refuse the face of men, that he might perfect himself,” the second monk replied, “ Unless thou first amend thy life going to and fro amongst men, thou shall not avail to amend it dwelling alone.”

Nothing more is required of you. You seem like you are on the right track.

" The first virtue is detachment, that is, death in relation to

every person or thing. This produces the desire* for God, and this in

turn gives rise to the anger that is in accordance with nature, and that

flares up against all the tricks of the enemy. Then the fear of God will

establish itself within us, and through this fear love will be made

manifest. " St.Isaiah The Solitary

Timothy says we are not to be afraid of people, but to enjoy being around people. Peter says when we know God we will love people. I'm not saying you have to be an extravert, particularly if OP is around people all day at his work, BUT we should not actively avoid people

I'm in the same mindset, except my bad experiences with people has developed an awful misathropic wrath. I give up too easily and have offended people easily, and they retaliated. I feel it's better to not get to know others. People are like animals when they're angry, and if you touch any nerve they become beasts. I wish God had given us an emergency exit to this terrible time bomb of a planet.
