People look right through me.Teachers, kids, and other adults.I try to somehow get them to notice me but I'm only met by the same seemingly programmed in comebacks and glances, like I can't get anything real out of anyone.I honestly believe it's starting to affect my sanity.Every day i feel more disconnected from everything then the previous day.Sometimes I question whether or not I am really here, going to school and typing this, or if i am locked away some place Imagining all this.Some days if i do get genuine things from people around me, I am ridiculed for it.Every time I get real emotions that are not negative, i get knocked back down again.

and people just keep closing in.They WANT me to be assertive, they WANT me to join in, they WANT me to be this social little freak, they WANT me to get all this help I don't need and get the stigma that comes with it.I feel pressure.My parents all did these wild and assertive things.I can't do those.I can't look someone in the eyes and tell them off.I can't do any of that.
I don't want to change myself, but as of now no-one around me seems happy with what I am doing now.No-one attaches them self to me and says "i'm her best friend." I try to attach myself to people this way but everyone is taken.I'm falling and sinking.

I want to scream at people that I am real, that I think and feel.I want to know that they do the same, and hat i'm not a madwoman and they aren't a madwoman's delusions.I can't escape.I'm trapped in a tiny little box that's squeezing in at all sides.Soon i will explode.I will malfunction.People will think i am insane.And i'm not able to make it stop.

Help.

you are as real as you want to be. I think you should see a psychologist it would help you if anything especiallywith feeling like you do not exist. I felt like people did not care about me when I was a kid too. If you are happy with the way you are you should tell them that. As or freindships most people have to find them, they do not automatically come to you. Even if that friend happens to be person you being talking that hapened to sit dow at the same table it will still take effort from both sides. There is no free lunch as some scientists say. That does not mean you should give up yourself.

I know exactly how this feels. At casual social gatherings, I'm typically ignored by everyone. Even when I put forth an effort to participate in conversations, and add insight to topics that others seem to lack, my comments are completely disregarded. I focus so intently on some insignificant object to avoid breaking down, hoping that someone will talk to me, but they never do. I finally broke away from those people, or was pushed out, I'm not sure which but that doesn't really matter.

I found that bonding with my niece (she's not quite 2 yet) has helped. She loves to play with me and talks to me all the time. Of course it's all baby talk and I can't understand a word of it, but that doesn't diminish the meaning of it.

If something like that isn't an option, then perhaps a pet would be possible? Nothing stops the feeling of being ignored like being the whole world to a small dog. Here is a creature that depends on you for every need, always pays attention to you and shows affection whenever you need it.

And keep in mind, there's no shame in talking to a counselor if you have nowhere else to turn.

i wish i was a ghost...

people pass me and laugh "what a freak"...
someone said "does he have any friends?" in a wicked voice...
i walk down the hall and peoples eyes seem like a ice cold blizzard that does not go away even when i am alone...
none of the teachers like me and they also give me the icy eyes...
people try to literally knock me over like a game...
i act like others to be accepted but it does not work out, i get in trouble for things i dont do...
and when i assert my self i am not just knocked back but laughed at...


i am so alone...

i send you my sympathy

Your struggleing to be yourself in a place full of dumasses and petty BS that people expect you to care about. THIS IS NORMAL most intelligent people feel like this at one time or another. You know why you cant stand up? you dont know who you are, BEACAUSE if you did you would have no problemo with stating your ideals and morals. BUT im posing or suggesting these things to "normal" people drives them insane and blows their mind. If you do not want the sight and attention surrounded by peeps that play you with the hype of pretending of your own thoughts you belive outstanding then look into yourself where your trobles lie and your soul divides. The bad , the good
and everything else thats just the reverse of the same verse. when you find this place you shall know peace and u shall not need me.

I sometimes feel like that too, but other times I feel the opposite (like I have FREAK above my head in neon letters).

Being near-invisible can have its uses, I guess. For one thing, people talk about secrets near you cos they think you don't count, and next thing you know everyone knows part of the story and you know it all and that can be really really fun. :)

and people just keep closing in(the only way to get through life is to be yourself and true ti yourself screw every1 else, if being tre means joining in then so be it most people just see you beacause they adore or admire you in one way or another, why else would they want you in this way so badly??).They WANT me to be assertive, they WANT me to join in, they WANT me to be this social little freak, they WANT me to get all this help I don't need and get the stigma that comes with it.I feel pressure.My parents all did these wild and assertive things.I can't do those.I can't look someone in the eyes and tell them off.I can't do any of that.(the bueatiful thing is tou dont have to, you only need to become yourself you are the person you make out to be BY doing things wither subtle or WILDLY ACERTIVE. one is not worse or better than another, like the elements of human persona it just is.)
I don't want to change myself, but as of now no-one around me seems happy with what I am doing now(If you wnat someone to like,understand,love,pro-create with YOU NEED TO SEARCH for them, they are not going to come to you, they themselfs are surrounded by BS if they are truly a kindred spirt in one way or another.).No-one attaches them self to me and says "i'm her best friend." I try to attach myself to people this way but everyone is taken.I'm falling and sinking.(no one is taken only forbidden by your own set of rules and circumstances. If you truly look you will find a way.)
You see only problems and ask many questions and it is fitting that i anwser you with questions for they are the anwsers that you seek not cryptic words that i lay down. anwser the questions not by solution of explanation but by asking the RIGHT question in return. A question with no anwser deserves another lookthrough and a recrimination Does it noT?




I want to scream at people that I am real, that I think and feel(and do they understand?).I want to know that they do the same(and do you understand them?), and hat i'm not a madwoman(are you mad or is the relation in between) and they aren't a madwoman's delusions(are you deluted or blessed with a gift unknowing?).I can't escape(escape from what?yourself?your home? this reality? it is made by thine own hand).I'm trapped in a tiny little box that's squeezing in at all sides(then make that box bigger gods knows this world is big enough).Soon i will explode(then explode by pushing back the boundarys and boxes to make your own shape and shade insted of the same shade of grey).I will malfunction.People will think i am insane.And i'm not able to make it stop.(nothing to stop only to change and shift into another mask more becoming of your fasade)

Help.

I know exactly what you mean, at times i feel just like you being an anonymous being that doesn't add anything to our world but at the same time i have this ,massive phobia of people looking at me and noticing that I'm the odd one out.

Its sad but what can we do.

Um, maybe you should do something? :roll: If you don't assert yourself, you will get pushed around and walked all over.

You have to swallow your pride, you don't like the life you're living. You have to try and keep trying, once you've failed a thousand more times, then you can quit.

Know that going insane is harder then that, no single action or thing you hear can drive you insane where you are. You will be ok even if things don't go the way you want them to, just try, then you'll something to say to the people who don't accept who you are.
