That you're missing a part of living that everyone else got, like some piece of your brain that makes others human. That you're something like an alien, not in a literal sense, but there's just something off. That no one will ever be able to be connected to you despite how close you've gotten. That even if your life does improve, you still don't belong here, so why do you keep going?

I ALWAYS THINK "IF ONLY I HAD NORMAL PARENTS MY BRAIN WOULD HAVE DEVELOPED NORMALLY"

like of course my life had to go wrong SO EARLY ONNNN why couldn't it happen once I was already a NORMAL, functioning member of society who can process trauma "correctly"

Yes, to missing something that most other people got and feeling different from most other people. I have been able to comment with some people, but unable to with a lot of others. It's not anything bad, it's just that society seems to run on bullshit in many ways so a lot of us have to try harder to function within society's rules.

Yes . I've seen people fall into fandoms and hobbies and just enjoy them . I feel like most things I've enjoyed just flip and longer mean anything to me, like a switch either I'm obsessed and the dive into beings me joy or it just feels like a task I do and nothing more , no joy no spark and I'm left wanting again . Also that people can just go out and be with others and enjoy social gatherings where even when surrounded by people I know I feel like I'm being judged and failing to all around me

I definitely feel this way—even my own family members comment on how "fundamentally broken" I am

Always too much of a downer or too hyper. Always talking too much or not enough. Always obsessed over something or apathetic towards it. Not only that, but the things I'm usually obsessed with are niche fandom stuff. (Ships—in the fandom context—are a primary example of this as I've fixated on ships such as Hannigram and Dimileth in the past—and still occasionally fixate on to this day.) I'm a being of extremes, and it's rough seeing people get disgusted by it in real time

Doesn't help that I feel like a bull in a china shop every time I exist in a space full of other people. There are times where I swear someone's staring at me, silently judging me and snickering with their friends over how much of a freak I am as they snap photos and me and share them with some elaborate social network that only I'm oblivious to

I want to stay true to myself and be genuine with others in the hopes that, one day, I'll "find my people", but this feels like a pipe dream more often than not the longer I exist among society. Only problem is that I don't think I can convincingly change who I am

I feel exactly the same all my fuckin life. I feel like people know or have something i don't, i feel like I'm so stupid sometimes but I'm in reality not.
I feel so different all the time, something is definitely missing.

No, but I was raised by such a person so I've seen it up close & personal.
