Why do I constantly feel trapped in every situation I’m in?

Like, I’m an adult and I’m aging but I feel like I’m not moving forward, but everything around me is still moving.

I also got to see my family for the first time in a really long time and I feel like they’re the only people who genuinely understand my awkwardness and weirdness so I feel the most comfortable and understood around them but I never get to see them so that hurts. 🥲 imagine constantly being In environment(s) where you’re misunderstood or can never connect 🥲🥲 ? making it so challenging to have a actual social life because it’s like that everywhere you go. After being around my family and being able to connect and have that social life it made me realize how depressing my life really is after I’ve left. 🥺

I somewhat know what you mean. I feel like that most of the time with my family. I feel so behind everybody

I'm sorry you feel that way but you really are doing amazing 🤗 you're doing what you want to do, you just got promoted, your life is still entirely in your hands.
The social life thing is honestly fun when it's done in bursts imo. When it's all the time, it's loses it's luster.

But you had to move further away from the family you were closest to growing up. It's hard to start new in situations like that. Meet new people that you're comfortable with, establish yourself again. It's not easy & even if it's been years it could still be like that. It's not easy
