I always feel out of place

[admirablesloth]

Do you ever feel like you’re on the outside looking in... even when you’re right there? I feel like I’m always forcing myself to be someone I’m not just to do my best to remain comfortable. I didn’t always have such bad social/ generalized anxiety, but as I got older it only got worst. It’s awful but i WANT to be apart of this world, I want to enjoy it and socialize and make connections and I know somewhere deep down I’m capable of doing that but I feel lost i guess. I feel like i don’t even know who i really am outside of anxiety, because i feel it’s stripped away parts of who I am that I can no longer recover. Sorry if this sounds depressing lol I’ll always make a feeble attempt to remain positive even when I’m feeling hopeless and Im hopeful that if I keep remaining positive one day this feeling will be in the past or at least a feeling I mastered.

Don’t give up. Keep fighting to reach your goals. Don’t let the setbacks get to you.
