Why am I so alone?

??

I always feel like the one that’s too different to be truly liked.

No matter how popular I am and how many friends I have, I don’t let anyone get close to me and those that do get close always hurt me.

I feel to scarred and hurt to feel truly included. Even the people that are the closest to me hurt my heart…and because they’re so close it hurts even more. I can’t outgrow my past hurts.

When people from the outside look in, they think I have the perfect life…my family is loving, we are rich, and I have everything that others could only dream about but that just excludes me from others even more.

I don’t feel like I’ll truly belong anywhere where I can be accepted for who I am. I feel trapped from ever making any meaningful relationships. I see no light at the end of this tunnel.

Been there. Done that. Have the t-shirt and all the rest of the souvenirs. :(

See a doctor and tell him what you’ve told us, to make sure it is nothing physical, and to get a referral to a good therapist.

A few weeks of the right medication and some talk therapy will have you enjoying the whole buffet again. And a few more weeks will let you put the scars behind you so you can live and love and laugh with everyone else.

It’s an uphill climb at first, but sliding the down the other side is worth every minute. :)
