Is it normal to feel physically & mentally seperated from people?
I've always felt, I don't know, apart from eveyone else- even my family. When I'm home alone, and I hear the sound of tires on the driveway that tells me my family is home, I feel myself physically deflate, Like a glass that only had a little bit of water left in it was just fully dumped out.I have friends, One good one, and she's the only one that I actually connect with, even though it's on a small scale. I go to birthday parties and get togethers and I hear eveyone laughing and see them smiling, but I don't feel any of it. I'm empty and drained. I know I'm not depressed because this feeling only happens when I'm with people, like being around other people is an extrordinarily dificult task, and one that pulles every ounce of energy from my body. When I'm alone, at least I feel content-ish. So is there something wrong with me? Shouldn't people want to be with people?
