I don't seem to have the capacity to truly be close to anyone, I am isolated behind my wall. My current relationship situation is not totally because of this but I am sure its a factor. yeah don't know what else to say about it, does anyone else have problems like that?

I tend to feel isolated and sometimes believe that I lack empathy to relate or show emotional support and I think that's one of my biggest downfalls. I rarely feel an emotional connection with someone, I struggle to let people in or trust people and because of this, I become insecure and emotional in a relationship, I'm damaged goods.

For me it feels like I cannot express how I feel....I do feel close to people but just not enough like there is always something between me and anyone I try to have a relationship with. I even run into simular problems with family(at least the family members I do get along well with.) and any friends I make. I do feel empathy, and I do care a lot about the people I do connect with but I can't seem to express it adequetly.....and even if I explain it, it does not really help anything.
