Discussion Do you feel lonely or like a burden to others?

[dogemn]

I feel so alone and disconnected from everyone, and when I do interact I feel like I'm just weighing them down.

 

[NoHorizon]

Absolutely. The only way I can feel palatable to people is by wearing a (metaphorical) mask and acting happy and like them. But then that feeds the disconnected feeling more.

I'm just a nuisance i don't deserve to be with anyone tbh

 

[Grimlock]

I feel deeply detached from the rest of humanity. Existing for so long as a mentally ill pariah, it doesn't make sense to me to consider myself connected to others. I am not part of the whole, I do not provide value to them, and I cannot assimilate despite my efforts. I am alone.

Im a burden on everything and everybody. Every time I try to do something it goes wrong, and my interactions with other people consist of the other person pitying me and talking to me until they get sick of that and ghost me. Even if I could get a girlfriend I don't think I would, simply because I'm too much of a mentally ill burden to be in a relationship with anybody. Any woman out there deserves better than me.

I know this all too well.

I'd say 'normal' was a stretch! But, I don't feel lonely or a burden to others. I am alone and for now, I'm self sufficient. I wouldn't call being mostly alone and not lonely, normal though! Just fortunate I suppose. It's abnormal I imagine, to feel so nervous around people though so- I'm abnormal in that sense. I guess disconnected is accurate though. I don't even want to be connected to this world really. Maybe individuals here and there but, not so much in real life now.

Yea I both feel lonely and like a burden. Mostly that a lot of people have left me so that means I have done something wrong meaning I am a burden. I feel really guilty and worthless over a lot of things. Also I just feel lonely cus I don't have someone I feel fully comfortable being physically and emotionally with currently.

 

[kopebaldy]

Yeah, the world is a better place without my gloomy ass around.

 

[Alexandra_]

[LighthouseHermit]

Yes, and yes.
