how do i combat this feeling of loneliness i experience every time i talk to/ interact with people? i try to be as authentic as i can, but i feel like they don’t actually see me. i feel so distant from even my closest friends, and i don’t know what i did to cause this distance. maybe it’s just me, feeling different from my neurotypical peers, but it even extends to my best friend; being so far away from her makes me feel like we aren’t close friends anymore. if i’m too honest, it scares people, but if i’m not honest enough, i feel disgusted with myself. i just want to feel okay with talking to people.

      Sometimes we can feel like our close friends and family are drifting away, but that’s not always the case. If we see just one path of footsteps in the sand, we don’t realize the other pair is being carried on their shoulders. Maybe take some time and learn to love yourself . If you take that time to learn about you …you’ll begin to discover the whole picture

      I feel you! It sucks, is it dissociation? Maybe trying to identify it online will help - finding CBT exercises that correlate. Retraining your brain - bloom app helps me so much
