How many of us are just

[Oblivion Access]

People with awful trauma, neglect or just a long span of isolation, surrounded by people we can't relate to who cannot communicate with us effectively and vice versa? Granted it might be a very generic description. It just strikes me as so tragic that for many of us, we could theoretically live on if we somehow found ourselves in an affirming environment of people who communicate in a healthy, clear and unconceited matter. Or maybe this is actually asking a lot given our species' penchant for crafting labirynthian social prisons for the less communicatively gifted or more scarred of us to languish in.

Although the people you want to communicate with effectively seem the same as you they are not. So many on this site think that something is wrong with them but there is not. This is not the real world and those are not real people and you do not just have "bad luck." You are fighting a war and it's so unfair because most have no idea what is going on.

Wow, I almost started crying because someone on the internet said I was wrong about something. Not even mean or anything, just matter-of-factly. Honey, it's 1pm, time for your self-loathing! Yes honey

I traumatized myself by never finding and committing to something meaningful. Was always wracked by fear and anxiety - with no guidance towards the future. I've always been lost - desperate for acceptance and financial security, impatient and impulsive. Missing the normal life markers achieved by others.

The world is abundant with opportunity but requires my choosing and committing. I never did so now I'm stranded and isolated, killing time, my remaining life force ebbing away.

Wish I could've simply joined some family business or picked something simple and straight forward to pursue. As a "creative" you need fire in your gut. No one can inspire you but yourself.

I mean I should be happy for them, but It's hard not to get a little bit annoyed when your dealing with people who are so out of touch.

Can relate, I am already "high functioning" externally (just meaning I can hold a job really) but utterly miserable, if I look back I can see the slow descent of my mental and physical health over the years. A good environment with supportive educated people would've made all the difference.

I feel that, I've been isolated since young teens for the most part and now its hard to find anyone who I can be around without feeling like the odd one out.
