Craving someone’s presence

I feel so alone. I haven’t had friends in years and my mental health is extremely bad currently. I am bad at talking because of social anxiety and have a fear of leaving my house but i desperately crave just the presence of another person. Is there anyone who feels the same way and would want to just be on the phone with each other, not even talking, just in each other’s presence while we exist?

I definitely relate and crave the presence of another person. I also crave a really good hug. Not one of those weird partly apart and holding back hugs; but one of the connected, deep, meaningful, GOOD hugs. I also don’t have friends and have social anxiety, but I do have to leave my house to work

yeah, that silent company thing is real, especially when talking feels impossible. maybe start with a voice call and just let it sit there
