Do You Feel Alone in This World?

[Grama-Herc]

She

You have expressed my feelings very well. People don't understand how I can stay in my home for days and days without going out.

Hey, I enjoy my home, my life and my company.

In my other post I guess I got off topic. I wonder mentally sometimes, sorry!

IMHO, there is nothing wrong with the way most of us choose to life. Isolation seems to be a common thread among us. Quite frankly, the world is to dangerous to suit me so why put myself in danger

I too am pretty content being alone.

But you do look back at a whole decade of no holidays, no events, no trips with anyone.....that kinda is weird. Wonder if you are really missing out.

Right now its OK though. Much less stressful

being alone at times of struggle

I agree, when I am hurting I push everyone away. It is a solo act to reconstruct our thoughts. Since no one understands this disorder they can't figure out what I may need to weather the storm. The only one who would get it is my Therapist but I always have an attitude to call him for help. Just last week end I had a really bad time and became suicidal again. Did I call - NO. Stupid. I think its because I don't want to be needy or seem weak.

It is at those times I think I need to retrain myself and buck up to take care of me. Next time I will call him whether I want to or not; if I remember at the time.

"T"

Your statement about all the missed holidays and events and trips really hit home. In fact, a prime example just happened.

The owners of our apartment complex were given 30 tickets to see the musical group Chicago. They offered the tickets free to the first 30 residents to sign up. I would have loved to have gone. HA Grama Herc made a funny.

I eventually ended up with no one at work inviting me to go to their parties or including me in evenings out. I felt left out and friendless. Well Duh! What did I expect. Whenever they did invite me, I never showed up. They just stopped asking.

I felt like nobody liked me. I was alone. This has become a very negative self imposed misery. So, yes. I feel alone in the world because I am. This is not normal. I know it is wrong to use the "normal" word, but let's face it, the type of isolation we place upon ourselfs is not normal.

Hey Sunnydaze,
Every single living person in this entire world should read that "dont judge" thing.
I feel just like many of you. Alone, and scared of being different.
Even thought its sad that so many people feels like this, its still a bit comforting knowing that in fact youre not alone at all.
Take care!

Ha ha!

I was just reading everyone's replies to this and this song came on, on my pc windows media player; Me,myself, I (Joan Armatrading).
I came in this world alone, me, myself, I......... 6 days to be alone, me, myself, I, it's not that I love myself I just don't want company, Iv'e just room enough for one, me, myself, I.

The irony of life, eh!

there are many times that i feel as if i am alone. it sounds a little strange saying that considering that i have a wonderful family that i live with. however, there are those times where i search the deep confines of my mind and find something that seems as if i can only deal with. all alone...no one else. but i also find that each time i have to deal with this thing, it gets a little easier. i really believe that it is partly due to the fact that i realize that others have been through the exact same thing and have survived. i want to thank you all for sharing your experiences, because it does make a difference. respectfully, SM

I always walk around feeling like i'm in a glass box. Noone really understands my world and I don't understand theirs.

All day, every day, I also feel like I'm in a glass box .......... what a perfect way to explain it. Thank you Sheree!

Interestingly, I don't feel it when I'm online. I can do anything, talk to anyone, etc. on the internet, and I don't feel any chasm at all.

But out in the 3D world, OMG :eek: it's all glass box......

rachel,
I to am a zoner. I have been doing this since I was very young. I always wondered if it was ADD as I was growing up and they had a name for some of the psy problems. Iat 55 just found out it is a dissociative problem not ADD at all. It isn't harmful but hours go by and I can't account for time.

You Matter!

Hi Grama Herc, I'm sorry you feel that way but it's not true. You have made contributions to society by giving advice on this forum and taking in animals and caring for them.

You would leave a trace behind because the people here would miss you.

You have made improvement because I read your posts.

You have every reason to be here. Your just as important as anyone else. So what if you haven't cured a disease or restored peace. These accomplishments don't make a person better than every one else. Those people are not God.

You have talents inside you that are just as important as the ones you mentioned (just in a different way).

Maybe you said hi or gave advice to some one on this forum who was going to kill themselves, but because you were nice to them and noticed they needed help they are still here and enjoying life. To me that is much more profound than inventing a pill or an air plane. Look inside yourself and find your gifts, and start using them and you will start feeling your place here on earth.

Every person at least once in their life has question their existence it's human nature to do so.

Peace
Tammy

I sometimes wonder if it is not so much alone in the world, as it is "Why am I in the world"?

I've made no major contribution to society. I could leave right now and there would be no mark or trace left behind.

I have impacted nothing and made no improvement.

I have always felt like I had no reason to be here. Why was I put on this earth? I see others invent things, cure diseases, help restore peace. Major impacts on the world around us. And Me?

Does this fit in with being alone? Without a reason for being, then why be? I have always wanted to know why I was born. What is my reason for being here?
