Re: I’m lonely, please help?

Hi, yes i feel lonely and so different from others in some way that i cant explain. I have had a lot of trauma in my life and a list of diagnoses. I find that sometimes i hear people with some similar experiences but rarely with the life long number of traumas or experiences. I feel so alone but am also terrified of people as well in so many ways. sorry that you experience this.

Re: I’m lonely, please help?

thankyou so much @Millieme . I think what is key is acknowleding that there is noone like us, that we can't be understood perfectly (in my worldview only Jesus can fill this void for us). But in terms of human interaction (which is vital) we i think need to be united by general pain and heartbreak and love, and try to be united. then that will unite us. easier said than done. the lie of individaulism and isolationalism is very strong in the west but we are breaking it becase everyone feels lonely and love (like the beatles song - all the lonely people). Love to you and all x

Re: I’m lonely, please help?

i feel your fear too. I am terrified of being misunderstood, especially by those who love me (and understand me best)
