im scared nobody will ever love me again, because i have become so detached from others. i can’t pretend i enjoy talking, and touching. other people my age really enjoy those things. i feel like an alien.

      What led to you becoming detached? Is it just a personal preference that you don't like verbal communication and physical intimacy, or is it because of bad experiences? Or something else like sensory issues?

        @SalineTurnip i haven’t had a bad experience, no. i am a lot more myself when i am that way, and it’s hard to pretend i enjoy those things. i do have some sensory issues too, but they don’t come into play that much with that. im not sure what led to it, it just got worse over the years. it’s nice sometimes, comfortable, until i realize it distances me from friends and family.

          @BeeOy well with friends and family, maybe you can still keep in touch with them through text messaging and social media, etc. Maybe explain that you don't feel up to talking verbally but you want to stay in their lives/stay in touch. And that you still care about them.

      Do you know what caused this?

        @Denotchka i think a lot of things have happened over the years, and im not sure what effected me the most, so it’s hard to put into words. my last relationship ended because of my distance emotionally and struggle with physical affection.
