I'm lonely because I wish more people could handle my strong personality but as my partner often tells me it's lonely at the top. My partner lives 2k miles away hence the lonely feeling. We both have some bpd traits so he can handle me but I let few others close to me.

I learned along time ago that when you are in a leadership position, hold a minority opinion, or just difference then the ppl you are around it can put you in an isolated place. The pressure to conform to the group is at times crazy making & may not be in your interest to do so. Which I believe being who you are is the path to be on . Other wise it just crush your soul. It is lonely place to have few peers.

As for the LDR... Speaking for myself It is awful at times not being around the person you connect to the most.
That person energizes you, and just makes a whole lot better.

Yeah and then it's not so lonely at the top. I think the anonymity of being online can be soul crushing at times .

I can feel high and mighty at times, but this momentum will always collapse, leaving a bottomless pit that never seem to be able to be filled

Loving yourself is a lot of work. Self-care is a lot of work. But I get to the other side and see it's all worthwhile.

Yes thriving after narcissistic abuse requires self partnering, something I rejected at first.

God could not have put it any better ! Well said ! And, I completely agree with you !

There is a wolf pack mentality among the general public. They believe there is safety in numbers, so they all bond together, leaving us, who simply want to be ourselves, to fend for ourselves and suffer. That is why everyone is trying to fit in, forcing themselves to listen to music that everyone listens to, and have sex with 100 different people, just so that they can fit the public image of those who "belong". Quite unoriginal, in my opinion

It's such a paradox ... what's the point of being like everyone else ?!!! It's almost like a disease that has pervaded the Earth. Everyone buys into it; they just cannot think for themselves. Some new "blockbuster" movie comes out ... "Oh, the world says this is awesome; hence, it is awesome ... we must head to the theater and watch it, so that we can tell the world, on Facebook, that we saw it the day it came out !!!" Mighty original

Would you rather be one of the thousand sheep ? Or yourself ?

my feel when you're able to connect with people who experience the same obstacle and troubles but yet you still experience lonliness

I keep tossing this idea or I guess it would a feeling, of being lonely around...

I do not experience loneliness... Rather missing a specific person, connecting to that person specifically. In fact I would say until I met them I did not experience that either.

I rather like being alone & unconnected with that exception. And I would say that exception is quite an exceptional emotion.
