BUT, if i had the possibility to have a bf, get married and become pregnant, say tomorrow or next month... i dont think i'd like that. i like the idea but the fact itself is scary for me. i feel kids are a chain to life and im not sure i want one. this is about having a baby, but this goes for anything i envy others for.
i guess i envy their... life? their feelings? what they do? because others seem so normal, so in right of their feelings... mine dont make sense. my thoughts and feelings are contrasting. and i dont feel like i have a life or like im living. just barely existing. so meaningless, so empty, so nothing. i dont know what i have done, what im doing, what i want... others make so much sense, i dont...

Just read this post now... I wonder if there is a deep-seeded dissatisfaction with your life experience and a lack of self-acceptance which are present and thereby influencing you to fixate on the habitual thought of being someone else and having their life experience instead? Not necessarily because you perceive it to be 'better' or 'worse' - but simply because the very thought of being in someone else's shoes signifies a 'release' from your current condition (state of being) - which you are not at peace with. It would represent
change (which may be deeply longed for). Could this be what's transpiring?
