What’s it like to be you?

I’m curious :)

Not easy, honestly..... a lot to deal with ... so much that I cant spend a day without feeling tired, yet I stay happy....

If you've ever read To Kill A Mockingbird, it's like being Boo Radley. Imagine being so different from everybody that you don't fit in anywhere because no one can relate to you. You get demonized, shunned, or ignored due to people's assumptions because no one is willing to do the work or take the time to understand you. Even people you've known for years completely mischaracterize you because these stories they tell themselves are more flattering to their egos than the reality.

You become a misanthrope and recluse because all you've ever seen is the worst of humanity, but you're still as much of a social creature as they are so all you ever feel is the lack. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't, and are forced to be an outsider looking in.

Oh well, at least my dog likes me

@TinyViolins damn

@TinyViolins It means a lot for your dog to like you.

TinyViolins · 31-35, M

@Poppies Well she likes everybody, so it's not that special. I'm lucky to have her though

A hurricane. It's like a hurricane in the middle of a desert with none to observe it. And then i wake up and it's sweet spring and birds all over.

Like being a poster child for high functioning severe mental disability 🤷‍♂️

Kinda sucky and depressing honestly, but I do the best to have a good outlook.

@Dewkissedrose 👍🏻

@Purplemoon purple is my favorite color :)

It has been a strange, painful journey, but I've also had the opportunity to see the world in a much different way than most people ever get to.

Also, there's a LOT of music. 😌

I wouldn’t want “me” on anyone.
It’s not easy. :)

It doesn’t sound right…😉

JohnnyNoir · 56-60, M

@CookieCrumbs depends on how you define "on"

CookieCrumbs · F

@JohnnyNoir
If there’s another preference, that’s ok too 😁

FrozenWasteland · 61-69, M

It's pretty good, for the most part, but it's definitely not for the faint of heart.

pentacorn · F

it's mid-grade, i suspect. average, like most people

WaryWitchWandering · 36-40, F

It just is? I don’t know… nobody could know because our experiences are different and environments… and those shape us… and determine how we cope and handle our shit

Your daily life could be someone else’s nightmare, and vice versa

There is no way to explain what it’s like to be ‘me’

I do t even fully know ‘me’
