I am very introverted and now disenchanted with people. What do I do?

don’t feel like I belong in this world. What’s wrong with me? Is a disorder I have? I am highly introverted and naturally quiet. Men treat me like a walking doll with no brain cells. I’m nice and a good listener. I clearly don’t matter. Me being empathetic and a good listener is meaningless and not valuable. Nobody values that. You have to be some edgy boss chick with attitude and stuff like that to be appreciated or cared about.

There are 8 billion people on earth. From all kinds of different places, dealing with all sorts of different circumstances, just trying to deal with this thing called life.

Now zoom into wherever you live and let's say 800 or 8000 people "around" you. Same thing, on a smaller more localized scale.

The hard part is putting ourselves out there, because it can make us feel vulnerable. One easy option - look online for a local place to volunteer at. You've got a great reason to be there that no one would question, and you'll be around other people where you've already got a built-in conversation topic - "yo, why you like to volunteer?" etc etc

I feel the same as you. If feel like people see me as being much like a ghost. So you are not alone. I wish I could explain to you and try to help you but can’t. I’m extremely intelligent however it’s locked on the inside and I have problems getting it out. So this basically blocks me from actually having people to talk to. Sorry but I care and you will find others. At least I have three fantastic friends my wife, my daughter and my dog 🐶.

There is nothing wrong with you. I am pretty introverted too, so I feel like I can relate to you.
