Hi, this is the first time I've ever tried to articulate the way I feel about my situation. I'm not normally very communicative about the way I feel, and perhaps that is why an anonymous internet forum may be the easiest way of releasing some emotion.
I am a late twenties doctor, who has had a fairly easy life so far. Other than normal difficulties in life, I have been successful through school and university, and have achieved a lot in my career so far. I have a loving fiancee who i live with and a close family. However, I have been struggling with increasing feelings of isolation and sadness; I spend a lot of my time a work, or studying and have managed to lose a lot of close friends. I notice I am becoming increasingly anxious, and also a little paranoid about people I know having a better life than me and pitying me. It is not affecting my life but I worry that either I am anomalous in my lack of close friends because of work and my innate antisocial tendencies or that I have a slightly pathological personality that make me drive away friends and become jealous and paranoid about others.
