Nobodylovesmeland is a familiar place, I'm surprised we haven't met there....
For me, I think, it's been livejournal. While I don't get 80+ comment threads other people attract, I am provably not sitting here on my own - there are over a hundred people who have my LJ on their reading list, and most of them comment on it at one time or another. That's not 'without friends', is it? There are more than fourty people on my 'I trust this person with some very personal stuff' filter - not exactly friendless. And I have a few close friends whom I don't see very often but we *do* e-mail from time to time, and all of my friends have been *incredibly* supportive when I was going through a really really REALLY bad patch.
I still feel like eating worms on occasion, particularly if nobody has the time to comment on my LJ for several posts in a row, but I'm reminding myself that I don't comment on each of the several hundred posts I scan every day - economies of scale, not personal insults.
And this icon, which I created very early on, has seen *a lot* less workout than I thought it would. I don't think I've used it more than two or three times in the past six months.
From where I'm sitting, you seem to have this human contact thing pretty much sussed out, though. I miss your dating reports, though... whatever happened to them?
