anyone feel like they're just a husk. everyone else around me seems energized and full of life. ive heard ignorance is bliss, but even if i ignored all my problems and worries, i don't know who id be. i wouldn't chase people to be conversational. id be a non-verbal guy floating by life. i wouldn't criticize myself so much to pursue health improvement. i feel like i have less qualities than most do. and maybe im wrong but i just feel like a coconut husk. dry. itchy. empty. alone.

      Have you experienced any emotions throughout your life? If so, you're not just a husk. You're a human being. Sure, you may be a numb feeling human, but you're human nonetheless. And like everyone else, you too have energy and emotions and happiness. It may just be less or harder to feel than others! But that doesn't mean you're just some lifeless being in a world full of extroverts. And knowing who you are isn't always just something you know deep inside, it's something you build over time. No one is born with a certain personality. You build it based off experiences and genetics and conditions and feelings, etc. And you have all the time in the world to do that! Who do you want to be is someone you CAN be. No matter how hard that is to achieve or how impossible it may seem or how much time it takes! also, I'm always here to talk if u need! ^^

        @dandelion_flower also, not trying to downplay your experiences or make them seem not as bad! I've felt exactly like that before, you just gotta push through it and figure yourself out, and if you need help with that, ask for it! Therapy helps, people help, online anonymous people on Alike help! there are people here for you :)
