Simple love Posted May 5, 2012 Share Posted May 5, 2012 Hi, I've had this feeling before in my life. (I'm 33). Where I feel disconnected from people and alone. I feel like I lack intimate relationships in my life. The thing is I have some great friends and a supportive family. I've been in a long term relationship before which was amazing. Ive had this underlying heartbroken feeling for years and Im sick of constantly dealing with it. I do love myself and I'm ok on my own but I can't fool myself and think that I don't want a family of my own. It just seemed to fall into place for most of my friends. I was crushed after a 7 year relationship ended but that was 5 years ago. So I think it's something else. I even felt this as a kid. Like an outsider. I have everything going for me. Great job. Good looks and I feel I'm understanding and caring. It's hard being a man and talking about these insecure feelings to people. I just want to feel like I'm a part of the world and feel like I'm a good friend. I have lots of love to give. I want to share it! Please any thoughts would be appreciated. I'm hurting here Link to post Share on other sites
crazylove Posted May 7, 2012 Share Posted May 7, 2012 Hi there, I know how you feel, I've felt the same way for a while too. Disconnected is definitely the word. I'm starting to try and build more of a social life with female friends to start with, and hoping to meet someone that i might 'connect' with on my travels. I've recently moved abroad and so am having to rebuild my social life. Not easy..but I am starting to feel more normal as I push myself to do it. I think it's easy to get into the mentality of 'not fitting in', and making an issue out of it sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites
