Life feels like black


Feels like i speak my own language. I can’t understand their language. I can’t even describe my feelings. I tried to in my whole life. I feel lonely and im tired , emotionally drained. I feel hate inside. I no longer try fit in, simply I just can’t pretend everything is fine anymore….. im broken. Once broken no going back?

people in all forms, be it our bodies and bones, our hearts, or our souls are all malleable. we can heal after breaks.

but going back to pretending you're fine (in my opinion) is not a good thing.
imagine being in a bad relationship and being hurt that you cant go on pretending. isnt that a good thing? you broke out of a hellish pattern that you kept trying to convince yourself was ok....(not good, but at least ok) but if it was ok then why did it cause the break?

a lifetime of frustration and annoyance and anger and rage, an apathy and a million other contradictory things have all bubbled up. drained because everything of you has spilled out.

the logical part of our minds says stuff like, heal, try to do better, lets clean up the mess that is us.
but why? if all of me spills out on the floor like shattered glass, and i want to try and salvage the only identity ive ever had, then were left to pick up a lot of not great pieces, here's a shard that says loneliness, trust issues, heartbreak, unhealed trauma. etc.

who of any mindset would want to shove those pieces back in? and throwing things away isn't easy otherwise therapy would be one big trash can where we go once, chuck our damage in and walk away.

if feels like a personal language because nobody understands, they hear the words but how they put them together is wrong. what's not frustrating about that? the world nowadays keeps telling people to share and talk and safe spaces.....if nobody understands what you are saying then its no different from anywhere else.

from there you can find comfort in art, in music, in escapism. you've probably spoken and typed till you were exhausted trying to share/express to people. then in one painting or a 4 minute song you can feel that everything inside you is expressed right there, you don't know if you like it because you can understand it, or because you feel it understands you.

art in all forms is art because its MORE, feelings and emotions that a conversation couldn't do justice.

I'm guessing you like or connect to those pictures. girl on empty train and sad girl on bed.

reading those two descriptions is NOTHING compared to seeing them, really understanding.
id say you are feeling those kinds of emotions, BIG ones, ones that don't fit into just simple words.


or equally possible i am wrong, the rant and ramble i went on is my foreign language spoken only by me, and even then its a mess to try and speak (hence the long winded reply.....sorry)

@lovingdead Thank you. The way you write here comforts me . I feel understood. It is hard to connect or resonate with people. Build up frustration is really something. I can’t help but i express myself more carefree nowadays through compulsive anger in real life at work which i never knew i was capable of losing control out of anger. In a wayy it is good maybe i’m shifting into different directions of accepting no bullshit , standing up for myself, giving zero fucks etc. in the past ive been treated poorly, trusts broken by people, i was always kind, patient, accepting of people. Though now in other way i feel more isolated now that standing up for myself, i think im scaring, pushing people away. Im sad i dont wanted to be this evil angry person. Idk what’s happening to me.,

@Pineapplesonpizza granted every perspective has the shadow half of it, but id say its growth. granted it sucks. essentially you have a closet full of clothes that say stuff like, patient, accepting, forgiving, easy going, maybe more mean sayings.....doormat, pushover, etc.

and now they don't fit, granted its not a bad thing, but those clothes were broken in, they were known, they were comfortable.

people got used to seeing you in these clothes, you fit the color scheme of their life. and now you wear black, or neon, or whatever.....and they don't know how to take it. and you in turn feel ostracized.

imagine your house has no doors anywhere, people just wander through, and now you are putting doors in, (YOU ARE NOT KICKING PEOPLE OUT, not in the normal sense) you're asking for privacy, for understanding, courtesy, its all boundaries.

granted they see it as you all the sudden being rude, you are not, and i understand that going from silence to speaking can feel like you're screaming at the world.

not that you might not have screaming moments, but odds are you are in the right, its uncomfortable because its new.

and your worry about it all though annoying and frustrating.....it also keeps you in check, if you really go too far you will be the first to know.
I think many people would identify with your feeling that you are not ACTUALLY communicating, because you have actually NOT been heard.

I also think many people don't know how to give you good confirmatory feedback, such as, "So you are saying <tells you what you said in their words>, is that right?"

?

@SomeMichGuy i also don’t know how to respond to what you are saying. Feelings are feelings. Yes, I do feel i have not been heard as i if i am speaking in alien language.
@Pineapplesonpizza Exactly.

What have you not been truly heard about?
