I was looking on Daniel Day Lewis' IMDB.com page and I saw this quote by him:
(on acting) "If I weren't allowed this outlet, there wouldn't be a place for me in society."
That's basically how I feel except I really don't have anything like acting. I mean, my job distracts me sometimes, but even while I'm working I still feel bad most of the time.
I hate being alone, but at the same time I dislike talking to people cause I always feel awkward. It's probably worse than it was 10 years ago when I first started having trouble. I literally can't stand being around people anymore cause I just feel bothered by them and it just reminds me of how f'ed up I feel and act towards others. The only people I feel close to are my parents and sisters.... when I'm outside of my house, I feel so distant and unconnected from people. It's a pretty miserable feeling.
I went to therapy and tried to overcome my problems, but how in the heck are you supposed to change your personality? I've been quiet all my life. I've always been socially awkward, but year after year it feels like it's getting worse and worse. How am I supposed to find a girlfriend when I can't even look people in the yes without feeling crazy? lol It just seems like a hopeless prospect. And things will only get worse when my sisters get married and my parents die. I can't even imagine how shitty I will feel.
Anyone else feel out of place in society? I mean, are you at a point where you just feel bothered by people, yet need someone? What a mess of a life!
