What if you just dont feel like you belong??

Ill be honest there was a time when we all were inoccent. But for me it was before i let everybody get inside my head, made me believe that i had mental illiness that i didnt. I want to be alive, But sometimes i just feel like no one cares that im here, To a certain point where my own friends are pushing me away..

If your friends are pushing you away then they don't sound like friends. There's always someone who cares that you are here.

I relate soooo much to this ! It’s not that I want to die. I just don’t want to live like this anymore and it’s very isolating

yeah i feel u

I feel this. Over my entire life I have let every negative comment get to me. Some I rehash over and over and over. I once had many friends but I have isolated myself over time. I wish I had advice. I only have this - you are not alone in this. Many go through this same thing, including myself. I want to be more confidant in myself but it’s hard now that I am alone. I keep moving forward, trying.

How are they making you feel like you have a mental illness you don't have? Are they gaslighting you?

[ashishere in reply to LadyZen]

Yes?

Hi Milohere, I am sorry that you are going through this. I have had to evaluate what would make me feel like I belong. Growing up I felt I was in a dream where everyone else might actually be monsters in human skins 😜 I think it was because I did not know how to express emotions and relate to them. I felt I had to be emotionless, at least as far as the negative ones go. I have learned that I don't feel close to people unless I share my mental illness woes with people, and that often comes with one on one time. So I have a few close friends, a couple of siblings, a couple of coworkers, and my wife. That is pretty good for me... but I am not close to the people I play sports with or my in-laws or many others because I have never had that 1 on 1 time. I wish you peace, hope and strength.☮️

Milohere, their is a "Belonging" study by "Life Model Works" that comes with a workbook and DVD. I went through this study and was a help with my own feelings of not belonging. I don't think you would be disappointed if you give it a try.
