I see things so differently from other people. It seems as if I come from a different planet.
I hate this world. I want to leave it. Not to find a better world, because I actually don't believe in an afterlife, but just to get away from this one.

Hi Dinah,
I haven't posted in a while, but you struck a chord within me, so here goes. I often feel like that, but I really attribute it to my sensitivity and the ability of other people to 'get to me' even though they might have the best intentions. In my case, I dissociate to cope and hopefully not to the extent of SI. Right now I feel extremely dissociative, just separate I guess- and it's funny only my therp who has experienced very similar problems to myself- truly understands. Anyway, hopefully some of this made sense- at least you're not alone. Take care of yourself- Judy

just because you say something/have an opinion doesn't mean that you are the only person who feels the same way that you do. if no one voices a similar opinion it only means that someone else didn't voice a similar opinion.
the problem happens when we've said something potentially risky and then we feel like we're all alone.
it can be hard for anybody to speak from their gut, at the time feeling very self-confident and full of positive self-regard... and then to feel alone and vulnerable.... it's hard to maintain the self-confidence at that point.
i think everybody feels, has felt, is feeling in some way in some situation as you feel. and it stinks. i feel like i just talked all this psychological lingo stuff which is intellectually meaningful, but sometimes you just have to say that it hurts to feel all alone. it just does and it feels terrible. i hope you don't feel that way for very long.

You are so right. It does hurt to feel so alone. And I so often find myself in that position :) that I feel that it just has to be me.
Thanks for your support.

Terra
