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.

Nope, my body is constantly telling me I'm human! Or at least an animal. I guess it is my higher brain functions that remind me I am a human animal.

As for dating and relationships, I have never experienced those. Of course hormones and loneliness made me want them, yet dating seemed annoying. Just lounging on the couch would be fine. But travel, museums, and dining sound fun. Yet I can do that on my own, LOL!

I never wanted kids so there was no pressure there.

As I have aged, my hormones have collapsed, and my mental state has stabilized as I grew wiser, wealthier, and more independent. Some companionship would be nice, but people can be annoying, too. I might still want my own space. I certainly do not need nagging.

It used to cause depression but I let all that go, accepted my singleness, and focused on learning and relaxing. Finishing my career, and then being free, except for all the goods and services I need from others. But they respond well to credit cards!

Good luck on your journey. You are nice. I hope you find love and friendship.

@JoyfulSilence I think we all need companionship. But I agree alone time is nice too.idont think anyone should give up who they are fully to date. I know if I find someone I'll want space lol. Thank you 🌟

@Coralmist

My parents each have their own space. My dad is usually in their living room, and my mom in a spare bedroom with all her crafts. They have two TV's!

My mom's parents were like that, too. Grandpa usually was in their furnished basement, with a TV, lounge, bar (that he made!), and woodshop! Grandma was upstairs with the main part of the house, with her own TV.

My parents once said they and I should get a house together. I said only if we had separate apartments in the house, LOL! But I would love mom to cook breakfast! 😁 But let me cook my own dinner meat. They always overcook it and dry it out.
