I'm at a social event to which I was invited

And I'm here but in my head I'm alone. It's hard to describe it but I'm always on my own in any room, not from being ignored or isolated but simply because I'm so used to being a hermit. I've come outside to vape and suddenly I feel more comfortable because I'm on my own. I'm never really fully engaged in a crowd. Sometimes I've even pictured everyone else dead and just me there. Sounds a bit psychopathic but it's not the intention. I just don't feel like I connect with people, I connect with things. I just want me and stuff, objects.

I'm a weirdo 👀

I know how you feel, I'm the same. My husband is too, we can sit right next to each other for 5 hours without speaking a word to one another. 😅

I can connect well with many people, but I tend to end up so drained after. I do prefer to be alone as well.

Nothing wrong with that.

@ostfuidctyvm People tend to come right up to me and start odd conversations. I’ve had three people that I can remember cry to me that I had just met when they came up to me. Well, one was a pharmacist associate. So technically, I went up to her, but she held up the line and was talking to me and crying. I could be standing at a self checkout and people just start talking to me like really talking to me. And then I go home and I’m exhausted, like my energy you sucked out of me 😶 Of course I don’t mind being there for people if they need someone, I just don’t know why it takes so much out of me in person.

No. Someone ate my Häagen-Dazs 😡 I rarely eat it, but when I want to, it’s always gone. How about dark chocolate raspberry rings? 😋 When I get them, I usually get toasted coconut marshmallows and I haven’t seen them for like two years and pisses me off. Just in case you needed to know.
C’s why you can’t eat it?
@MellyMel22 You must give off a kind of nurturing vibe. It's like how I was never comfortable around children because I didn't know what was expected of me and was too self aware to do child talk but children always seemed drawn to me and I could never understand why. I mean, I'm tall, my face doesn't smile and yet children seemed to think that I was the one to communicate with. I think that sometimes people see things in you that you don't even see yourself. Kids especially.

I have a host of digestive issues that mean ice cream would just give me reflux and pain. A whole host of things mess me up, lol. Plus my digestive system is pretty slow and so I only really notice that I've f'ed up about an hour later and then I'm like 🤢

@ostfuidctyvm Its a good sign when kids look to you that way. They say kids sense good and bad.. I tend to pick up on a lot of their feelings before they even say a word. They must sense that I do because why else would they cry to a stranger? Or tell them their problems? Like I said, I don’t mind and my first instinct is to try to help them feel better. But I feel it after.

Oh no 😞 I’m sorry to hear that. I have original Altoids and a nausea dissolvable in my nightstand because I have a weak stomach. But you definitely have it worse and I hate that for you 😞❤

There is absolutely nothing weird about that. You're just a loner. Several people are like this. I have my moments when i'm this way. But i'm not like this all the time. You are entitled to want solitude.
