Why can't I just be happy and achieve what I want for myself. Why do I have to live like this. It's fucking terrible. I can't interact and live a normal life like everyone else. I'm such a weirdo. I'm afraid to even leave my room. I've been to like 4 psychiatrists and a bunch of therapists and it keeps getting worse. I don't know what to do besides cbt. I've dropped out of school and I have a supportive family but there is no positive future for me. It's going to just be struggling alone for decades. I can't even deal with another week. Fuck
Okay, so first, describe for me what is normal.
Frankly, if others who insist I am not normal are what is considered normal, I don't want to be normal.
I would rather have someone like you as a friend than one of those you call 'normal'. At least you fucking say it how you feel it.
I am not normal and I no longer want to be. I am very weird, strange, odd, different. So called 'normal' people are very boring, are perceived as superior when they are not and usually end up taking some of our personal power away due to our own false perception of their superiority and our own desire to be 'normal' like others.
If Ozzy Osborn was 'normal' he never would have sold millions of records. He may not have the best voice or the greatest vocal range, but the man has sold millions and everyone has heard of him.
I used to always say I was refusing to go to heaven because all the cool and fun people were going to be in hell where the party was, so that is where I was going. Another way to put that is I don't want to be normal. I like who I am, how I am, how I think. I am a very cool and fun person with greatly diverse interests. I, nor my life has never been boring, or normal or bland.
Yep, it hurts that others don't like me, accept me as who and how I am.
I personally cannot understand the concepts of a happy family life, or caring parents, or even supportive parents and without those, I cannot bond with others who have had those experiences and concepts because they are foreign to me, so trying to get me to behave as if I do understand these things is like trying to get an Indigenous Inuit from the Alaska bush to understand and follow a vegan or even a vegetarian diet while living in the Alaska bush. Not going to happened, at least and not have the Eskimo survive for they will surely starve to death as a plant based diet in the Alaska bush is simply NOT possible. The same would be true if you were to take a die hard vegan and throw them into the Alaska bush, they could not understand how to or even be able to feed themselves.
So, what is normal, the Inuit diet or the Vegan diet? To the person raised all their life as vegan, the vegan diet is normal and the Eskimo is a horrid person who insists on eating poor helpless animals that are causing global warming to raise. To the Inuit, the vegan is crazy, you cannot eat nothing but plants and survive, with only two months maybe three of summer growing, 8 months or more of snow cover and below freezing temps topped with the outrageous pricing to get non Alaska food items to Alaska, the Inuit MUST eat meat to survive. So, what is normal?
YOU, are normal and stop thinking you are not. Normal is a relative term. You are your own normal and that is so okay.
