I'm wondering if my situation is unique, or common (and nobody talks about it)
When I'm alone, I'm never lonely.
It feels like solitude to me.
I've been that way all my life.
But when I'm around people I feel totally invisible.
It's the most awful feeling.
Like that song with the line
"standing knee-deep in a river, and dying of thirst"
People everywhere, and so so cold.
Where I work, I'm never included in going out to lunch.
I used to ask others if they wanted to go to Taco Bell or whatever with me
but I'd always get these terrified looks from them and the most lame excuses
("I need to go to Target to get some kitty litter")
I finally gave up on the people at work when I asked one guy in my dept. if he wanted to go get a burger for lunch.
He told me that he had no money, then came back 15 minutes later with take-out food. (it must have been free that day)
Any helpful comments will be appreciated.
