It might sound counterintuitive, but I'm very lonely; it's been like this for a few years now.
I spend most of my days with friends; however, even though I'm with people, I still struggle to feel comfortable.
When it comes to making friends, it's not too difficult for me, but building and forming a connection with them is extremely hard.
Whenever I'm in a group setting with friends, I'm always bullied or made fun of. It doesn't matter which group I join or become a part of; I always end up becoming the punching bag of that friend group.
I feel like I don't deserve to be bullied, but it's happened so frequently that I simply can't help but feel that it's my fault.
In addition to this, I also have issues with physical intimacy. Simple acts of intimacy, such as hugs, pats on the back, etc., have always felt very painful. I don't understand why, but whenever I'm touched, there's always an uncomfortable, burning feeling.
