I Want to Be Understood By Just One Person

It seems no matter where I've been, school, church, even summers at camp, always feel like an outsider. I feel like there is barrier between me and others and though we can come close there can never be any real contact. I feel like no one gets me and everytime I'm with someone I can pretty much garantee that we won't be talking about what I want to talk about. Or if I'm with a group I always do what everyone else wants to do. It feels lonely because I always think. What about me? When will someone try for me? In my head I'm not that bad but maybe I'm unbearable to be around in actuality. I don't know. I'm just tired of experiencing life like this. I wake up in the morning everyday and wonder if today will be different. I feel so isolated. I've been living on my own ever since I turned 18. Where is everyone? Lately I have just been excepting everything, going to work and watching my co workers socialize without me, giving me occasional glances and forced smiles so I know I'm still part of the group.

I relate to this feeling, i feel i'm not understood as well and no one really comes that close to understanding me either. though thing is with me because i'm not understood by others (Including my family) that they just assume i'm in the bad and side up against me...never even once really has anyone ever sided with me on something. i just accept this and continue life to, i'd also like someone who understands me to. at times as well i feel isolated because this to...so its hard. being an outsider isn't fun as well

I am sure they are missing out on a wonderful person. I'm sad to hear that you feel this way to. It's one of those things where you kind of feel powerless because you can't make others love, see or treat you how you deserve. You can only do it for yourself. Thanks for your reply cooper. If you ever need to talk I am available and want to hear your story :)
