I'm done. I want to kms. It's increasingly apparent that I'm a misfit. A mistake.

A colleague asked me if I could cover them on a certain day at the end of this month. I let her know that I would need a few days to confirm. On asking why, I told her about my cousins' probable flight, the date of which was not confirmed yet. She said "why haven't you asked yet then?" and I told her "my mother is in contact with them. I'll let you know when it's confirmed". To which she said "they're your cousins and you don't talk to them? How is that possible?" she seemed pretty shocked. My heart sank and I felt like crying. I feel so alone in my dysfunctionality. It's just not fair. I have done so much and struggled so much and overcome so much, only to still be shy of normalcy. It's getting increasingly frustrating. People around me are always talking about their children and spouses and it makes me feel even stranger. They have found love and started families. They're all so excited. And I'm just here trying to survive. It's not fair.

Trust me it's more natural than you think... I barely speak to my cousins... And we used to be incredibly close growing up...

People just end up having their own lives... And even though I wish I could have that kind of bond again sometimes it's not possible...

The smartest thing you can do is focus on your own life and find what you want from it... Like you I feel that "kms" feeling... but I can't do it anymore like i used to.. I'm hoping I can just disappear sooner rather than later.. I'm not sure what the right answer is but if you can focus on yourself rather than others I think you will be happier in the long run than if you hadn't...
