I Have Something to Say

I worry I'm forgetting how to talk. I don't mean I'm forgetting how to move my mouth and form words - I can still do that just fine. What I mean is most of the time I just don't feel motivated to. I worry I'm forgetting how to share ME, because it just seems like no one is really listening, and I've never seen the point of talking when no one is listening. Has anyone else out there ever felt that way?

I'm not in an intimate relationship and have no plans to be in one - when I look at the good in that kind of relationship vs. the bad, there's not enough of the right kind of good, NOTHING at all that feels like love to me, and way too much bad with no way to get past it, so just not worth it. But I do have a family member who treats me with absolutely zero consideration for how I want to be treated and has been that way for my entire life - which is where that comment comes from. Thankfully, I don't have to live with him, and I've figured out how to limit the worst of his bad behaviors. But it's hard not to assume that that kind of behavior is all I'm going to find, especially with men.
