I walk around telling everybody I'm okay. I'm afraid to tell them that my life has been a long empty road because I know how they will react. People are just not reliable enough to be honest with. Some will sympathize and then disappear, others will exploit your weakness. I don't tell people about my relationship history because I get a lot of OMG and it just feels uncomfortable to share this. So I walk around in quiet sadness and try to pretend that everything is good enough. It's not - I have a large knot in my stomach and book full of empty beaches in my head. I've lost all my faith and I don't believe in any deity so when I think of the justification for all this isolation I just get a migraine and a sour taste in my mouth. I'm still amazed that after all this crap that I can still smile occasionally and pretend salvation is just around the corner. I'm getting closer to the end now and it looks like I might not achieve anything resembling content. I don't scream at anybody because I know that's the way it is - to some the illusion is harsh. I just wish I could go back and hold your hand for awhile - peace.

I'm sorry for the pain you express.
I still want to encourage you to step outside of this zone of isolation. From previous posts I am confident that you have a lot to offer. **** I agree: I don't think you should tell people that your life has been a long lonely road. |

I lot of people feel like they are living a lie - or part of a lie. Do you frame your life like this as you describe it to others? It can be off putting, or they may get a sense of too much too fast. After all, everyone (or almost everyone) has experienced terrible losses...
Energy must be put into creating a narrative that is honest, yet doesn't undermine your life experiences, or reduce it only to the negative, to what is missing. The stories we tell ourselves *about* ourselves are very powerful...do you show yourself mercy, kindness, patience? |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
