Sorry to hear about your situation Mena. I felt trapped in a marriage for ~10 of the 20 years mainly because I thought it was the best way to protect my daughter. I'm not so sure now that it was the best decision, but I'm moving forward. One thing that gradually happened is I lost myself piece...

As Robin Williams said: "I used to think that the worst thing in life was to end up alone. It's not. The worst thing in life is to end up with people who make you feel alone." I was in the same situation for many years. It sneaks up on you and and becomes normal. I finally woke up and was able...

Sir?!#, where is a "Sir", I don't see a "Sir". All I see here is a 15 year old boy stuck in a 49 year old man's body trying to figure out what he wants to be when he grows up. There is no need to throw around verbal abuses like "Sir". :) Anyway, I assumed you enjoyed the games you were playing...

It sounds like you are very hard on yourself Isaac. It also sounds like you have a great deal of potential but you feel like you are wasting it and then you beat yourself up about it. I would be willing to bet you are above average intelligence since people with low intelligence could really...

The bad news is that it sucks feeling that way and it is hard to get out. The good news is that it is all inside your head and it is always possible to move in a different direction. I sent you some other ideas via PM, but I didn't mention pets as an option. Some people don't have the option or...

el Jay: I'm sorry to see anyone in this state of mind. I know it is easy to get trapped in these feelings and become hopeless. If this is how you feel the majority of the time and it has been going on for two weeks or more, I would be concerned that you might be clinically depressed. If that is...

I have had a lot of the same issues in the past or present. Good family, friends growing up, then I started shutting out others mainly because of my own fears. I have plenty of interests so I'm not sitting around crying in my tea, but I have had enough experience to know that life can be more...

Thanks for the welcome. What is your "version" of woodworking? Mine is certainly not typical. While thinking about things I enjoy I realized I really love the feel and look of nicely finished wood, running my hands over it, touching and admiring the curves, etc... I did some work on my guitars...

I can certainly identify with this "ghost" feeling during certain times of my life. I have a feeling it is going to be more common now that I am on my own again. I do think there is a "vibe" that we all give off that makes us more or less approachable. In my early to mid 20's I was quite like...

Hello, another new user here. Jumping right in: I felt quite alone and different throughout my childhood and early adult years despite having a loving family. I'm learning now that I might be what's called a "Highly Sensitive Person" and this feeling of isolation and awkwardness is quite...
