I’m a 43 year old single autistic man who lives alone in my own apartment and I’m socially isolated. I’m also an only child.
I live in seattle,Washington while my parents live in Southern California.
Every night while I eat dinner inside my apartment all alone I have dinner with my parents om video chat so I don’t get lonley.
Many people think this is strange.
If I didn’t have dinner every night with my parents om video chat I would get depressed and isolated.
I don’t know who these people telling you it’s strange are, but they sound douchy. What you describe sounds like a lovely dinner ritual. You stay close with your family, get to socialise daily, maintain your mental health. I’m sure your parents love it too.
Just remember not to cancel or avoid socializing with others when you get the opportunity!
