I can't seem to connect emotionally and socially with anyone, and while everyone else seems to be thinking of the people around them and their futures, I seem to be in a different place to everyone else, thinking about stuff that is totally insane and crazy. And when I am forced to socialise, I always seem to go back to that world, and relate the real life situation to it.

I can't find anything in common with anyone. I feel weird, as if i don't belong on this planet Rolling Eyes

ditto! Anytime I'm out in public or in a social situation I just zone out into my own little world and I can't really explain it but I just feel so blank. Every single time. I hate it.

Lol, I definitely don't belong here either. People sometimes ask me what planet I come from Rolling Eyes

Yep, people I work with are always saying stuff like "I want to start a family before I'm 30" or "I want a new car" or "I wish I could get a promotion" and none of that interests me at all. I'm still a little girl dreaming of being a mermaid, or a teenager fantasising about wild romances... and I'm 26 lol.

Everyone else seems to be preoccupied with climbing up the rungs of their lives and gathering all the stuff that's generally considered essential for a meaningful existence; possessions, children, money, fashionable friends, even more possessions... I'm happier daydreaming about what it would be like to be a geisha or a cat or a heroine in a nineteenth century novel.

Lol, thanks! I love period clothing and all things vintage. Give me an old lady's attic to browse in and I'll be happy for hours! Wink

Maybe other people are just less advanced. Seriously. Living life by emotion is way more animalistic and basic than exploring a vast imagination and engaging in endless hours of mental thought, debate, and analysis.

We have all literally been shunned by other people because they don't know how to interact with us on our level.

Being shunned is hurtful, and we learn to enforce a complete avoidance of any situation where we would feel to have been shunned by other people.

Then we're stuck in a loop.
