Disconnected. Feeling like and outsider


Recommended Posts

Simple love

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

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.
