I am socially isolated.

It has been over 6 years.

I am lonely and rarely speak to other humans... I need a human to converse with.

Just 10 to 20 minutes, I am not looking for friendship because I don't think I have it in me to maintain a friendship.

I just need someone to talk to... this way I will stay sane

I am cuckoo for cocoa puffs

Thank you, but I am not good at these group chats, I want to chat and preferable voice call with someone around the world and learn about them and share about myself.
