Anyone here do the same or feel the same?

[DellBell]

I realised lately that around others, I feel like a burden, unloved, different, and unwanted, so I just always isolate myself? Does anyone else do this? If you were ever like that before in the past and have overcome that difficulty, can you tell me how you did?

[rosemilk]

yes i have. and sometimes i still do. doesn't really go away. i think it's a normal feeling to have.

but you're allowed to take up space. there are people way more of a burden than you will ever be. just look at prisoners, criminals... total burden on society.

is someone making you feel this way? or are these just thoughts in your head? did someone say something? i'd probably just take a few minutes every day to relax/reflect and let the thoughts come and go. and then go on with your day without thinking that you're a burden, unloved, different, or unwanted.

Feeling like a burden or unwanted is a tale as old as time, but fear not, for in slavery, there's a place where one can find purpose and acceptance. Everyone loves free labor.

Imagine, if you will, that I am your devoted slave. I present you with a flute of champagne, then I scurry back to my cage, where I would wait, eager for your next command. A collar and leash would symbolize not a burden, but a cherished connection. Vagina worship, a sacred act, where my lips would sing hymns of adoration to your divine essence.

Humiliation would remind me that in being different, I am exactly where I belong. High heels, your instruments of torture and desire, would find their cleaning in the bowels of my tongue. Clothespins, would dance upon my sensitive testicles, teaching me the value of pain. Whippings, composed by your hand, would be my solace from loneliness. a reminder of your control, a testament to your power.

By realizing the truth, using others trying to reflect yourself is a loss cause, we all bleed red and we all die, which makes us all the same and how good we are and our value comes from our decisions alone, you can be poor and be a wonderful person just how you can be rich and be a terrible person, it doesn't matter if they are attractive or unattractive they can be good people or bad people, and the truth is that human judgment isn't wortless cause everyone has their issues, if validation is going to matter let it be people like family or a loved one because the truth is that only God is perfect enough to judge us, everyone else is on the same boat.

Νo, see to me, the reason why I isolate is entirely different to yours. Therefore, I am not able to relate.

I have a tendency to isolate myself because I am unable to want to do otherwise. I don't do it because I feel like a burden or unloved or unwanted.
I do it because I crave isolation, I want it, it fulfills me in a different way. I enjoy spending time with just myself.

I pretty much do the same as you , I don’t really like going out much anymore , I feel happier and content being at home , when I was younger , I was more outgoing and enjoyed going places but now I prefer to be at home, I still go out once in awhile but I prefer home lol Let alone , I am going to a concert tonight , but I haven’t been to a concert in quite sometime , so I am looking forward to it. Part of
Me was debating on going but I decided to go lol

I have many Irish friends who I've been close to since school, and I know the parents LOVE to give any potential friends a good old grilling to see if you're good enough.. (Only ever known Irish Parents to do that)
To some I reckon that could make you go into a shell. Is that possible what happened with you? Or am I several light years out?

[DellBell]

That would actually make a lot of sense, actually, why I might be feeling this way.

[Juxtapose]

No offense but this type of mentality is weak and the sooner you slap yourself in the face and shake yourself out of it the better.

You don't owe anyone anything.. your life is important enough to you that you are willing to have plants and likely animals as well murdered to feed you. You are literally sacrificing other living creatures to exist, we naturally take from other things to exist.

Who cares what these other assholes think about you? Fuck 'em, they don't know you. Why do you care so much what people think? They're hypocrites and a lot of people don't introspect at all.

You are here to survive even if you have to do so with your boot on somebody else's neck. That's the way of the world, it is brutal and you can't be so soft that the opinions of strangers affect you so much.

[AydenHazor]

I've struggled with this my entire life. I've been intentional in the last 5-10 years in building friendships where people encourage me to take up space in their lives and build me up. It's not easy to find and build a community that builds you up, but it's worth it

[AydenHazor]

I don't know if it's something you've considered before either, but this feeling is prevalent among those with ADHD and/or autism. It may be worth seeking diagnosis as knowing why you behave act and feel different than everyone else can be a huge help.

[DellBell]

I was told by a professional that I could be autistic because some symptoms are there so maybe I'll look into that one thank you :)

[AydenHazor]

Any time. You are not a burden and you are worth it

[MisterWack]

I don’t feel like a burden, unloved, different, unwanted MOST of the time…. Could be from getting support from a very close person in my life which boosts me up. I don't know.

[Finchie40]

I don’t really feel that way , but I prefer being at home over going out , let alone I do go out sometimes but I prefer home most of the time , I feel content and happier when I am home most of the time

Everyone feels like this to an extent. But some people just indulge those thoughts more than others. There's and old quote made by Dr. Phil, "You wouldn't worry so much about what other people thought of you if you realized how seldom they do". We as humans think mainly of ourselves. Even when we claim to love someone it's primarily because of how they make US feel. This doesn't make them uncaring or you selfish (unless that's ALL that you or they do). It just makes us human.

I sort of felt that way before I met my wife. Even ifi was in a relationship I never really felt like they really loved me even though some actually said that they did.

[Juxtapose]

That's because most of the time it's very conditional and temporary affection.. at least if your experiences have been anything like mine.

[clampfan101]

I’m still trying to figure out how to overcome something like that…

[DJB72]

Focus on living others. It's difficult, but it's worth it

[DrPepper12]

Therapy and medication helped a lot. Getting in shape was also a great method to break that rut

[Anonymous]

I didn't overcome it. There have been times many times when I wish I wasn't alive anymore
Mostly everyone I know has either passed away or moved or don't speak with anymore it gets lonely very lonely

[Knightwatch27]

I haven't felt this no, but if you feel that way you need to talk to people so they can dispel those falsities from your mind.

[Emmytexrex]

No I don't but if I do feel that way I talk to people a lot about it

[Rangers]

Of course, but the feeling is mutual. I can't stand people

[GawkVoidArisen]

Normally I do :(

mind hitting me? id like to talk..

[loveslongnails]

No, I can not relate to this.
