Hi everyone,
I guess it makes sense that I don't understand, seeing how I am posting this in the schizoid forum. But I see all the time, in real life and the forum, people talking/posting about relationships... Things like, rejection, fear of abandonment, jealousy, lust, all of these things that I truly can't relate to and yet read all the time. I usually skim over these posts and think to myself "That must feel bad for that person". I can't make a personal connection because...well, it's just not me! Being dumped, or being worried about rejection, worried about being hurt emotionally, being insulted...I don't worry about these things. To be honest, that's fine with me because I'm sure feeling these things isn't a pleasant experience! I wonder if I appear like an alien of sorts to the "normal" person who feels everything. A robot, perhaps? It wouldn't bother me either way, being a very indifferent person...but I do wonder sometimes. Can anyone else relate to not being able to relate to the "umbrella" of relationship topics/issues? |

I don't really about relationships because I do have very intense emotions due to bipolar. I have both bipolar and schizoid, which maybe is weird, I don't know.
But I do understand feeling like an alien. I feel like an alien all the time. I feel like everyone is huddled in a circle being human and I'm watching them. I've felt this way since childhood. In fact, when I was seven I used to tell all the kids at school that I was an alien and I was abandoned on Earth. That's how far back I can remember feeling this way.

Fortunately, it doesn't bother me to not be worried about such things as rejection, romance, etc. I feel that it has taken away a lot of stress that many people have in their lives, due to these concerns. So, although I feel like an alien at times, I am fine with that. And the few people that I am close to, accept me for who I am. |

I think it would be really nice to just be able to not care about things like that sometimes. To just let it go, you know? My brain holds negativity in like a sponge. I forget good things so easily. I don't want to be like that.
I have a diagnosis of both and generalized anxiety disorder, too. The brain and nervous system can be really strange. __________________ |

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