Majority of my life I have found it much easier to identify with fictional characters from books, movies, TV shows and comic books. I don’t connect with people.

I don’t feel that draw to want to express my human emotions to just any body.

And when I feel that pull once in a fucking blue I get so crushed when I know if that desire is felt in return. I feel so disconnected from people that I need someone to show me that it is okay to feel things.

Someone to show me what a healthy emotion relationship based on trust and respect is.

I don’t know how to be myself around people.

I’m 27 and have no idea how to tell if people really like me for me.
I have no clue if I can ever stop looking behind me out of fear of betrayal from others.

I don’t think I know trust either.

Most of the time I feel like I am holding my breath under water that’s how strange and alien people are. When people come up and talk to me in my mind I kind of freak out.

I think:

“Why are you talking to me?”
“What do you want from me?”
“Why are you here?”
“Don’t waste time on me.”
“What can I say not to sound like an asshole.”
“How can I hide how much of a freak I am?”
“I’m nothing like you.”
“If you knew me you would run away from me.”

I don’t think this stuff in a rude way. I just never know how to react or what to talk about. I just see how people are not like me and know they will reject me once they see how not like them i am.

I have a lot to talk about. I read all kinds of books, magazines, and articles. I also watch lost of movies, documentaries and sci-fi.
I’m mostly self educated but I am not a stupid person.

However I have this strange world view.

I really fear normal people.

Even the ones who can’t see how normal they are.

1:23am.

I’m stoned.

I absolutely relate

at 22 Im consistently feeling uncomfortable around people my age, I dont necessarily enjoy the same things and I always feel as if Im holding back and not really letting my true self show. I also struggle with the mentality that you are what you think. Therefore I am constantly trying to replace negative thoughts with positive and influence my world in a better way. But still have this sense of not belonging here - and it seems to be increasing as well.

Hi,
Your post resonated for me and I thought it important to say you are not alone in feeling disconnected, and besides, who in their right mind would want to feel connected to this absurd play?!?

It is okay to feel this way. Be authentic. If you do not know how,...be that. It will not last. The is only one right way to live your life and you will know it when you feel it.

when in doubt, dance

i've definitely thought some of those same thoughts myself. i wish people on evolver all lived closer together, it's hard to get across what you want to say in a little typed reply...
