Is there any way you feel you're not a part of the human race?

For me it's love or dating. I'm working on it but coming from excessive severe trauma, you feel beyond broken. So it's difficult to believe I'm someone that a guy could be with or love. I watch couples and it's heart wrenching inside, feeling I'm not worthy of it. Many people WOULD ditch me after learning how crippling my PTSD can be. I'm just hoping for a miracle one day though.

Multiple ways. Always felt as a kid I was "different from". Can't really explain it but I just never felt comfortable around others a lot of the time.

I like rugby not football, not into golf, most of my musical tastes are away from the mainstream (ie prog, folk, jazz, etc).

Today I'm far more comfortable just being me not trying to fit in etc and I accept who I am. It's OK being me.
