Some people just will never understand my condition. Sometimes, people mistake me as attentio- seeking. Don't they realize I DON'T want this

Lately, I've felt like I'm an Alien who speaks an undetermined language when I try to interact with people. There is one particular person whose first response is anger to my symptoms; I'm sick of explaining myself to people. I'm honest--accept me for who I am or just stay away from me. Why do people enjoy my misery. They're sick, as well, in my opinion.

Hi you don't have to explain yourself to anyone you know. It's none of their business and it is your choice. It doesn't mean others don't care about and love you - it only means they don't understand. There is no reason to keep flogging a dead horse is there? It just makes you more miserable. Your only duty is to yourself so only do things (as much as possible) that make you feel better. x

I get that reaction from people also and it's very disappointing .I'm trying to have as normal a life as I can and I want to inter act with others. So when I get that angry response I'm puzzled by it. I don't dwell on my issues, but I will talk about them if asked. I think may be they don't know how to respond and react negatively .I don't have the energy to deal with this so I move on . Pam

I can completely relate, I have said the exact same thing. I feel like an alien.. It is becasue people don’t understand. They never will unless they have been in our shoes. I just try to surround myself with compassionate and understanding family and friends and I don’t explain myself to others.
