Hey you, yeah you, every time I login here I feel like I don't belong. That I'm not supposed to be here because I'm not like the others. I used to say that I had trouble connecting with ppl because I labored under the delusion it wasn't intentional on my part, when it was.

Some days it's a struggle to say what I think about a topic, not because of what I'm afraid others might say, but what I might.

So I keep my mouth wisely shut.

But sometimes there's someone struggling and I reach out because I know what being alone feels like.

I'm not talking about ppl abandoning me, I'm referring to my being very good at keeping them at arm's length. A kind of manufactured solitude.

And, it's not healthy but it's my normal.

Don't be like me.

There's good ppl here. While many of us are opiniated I've seen the majority help where they're able to.

I may feel like I don't belong but I don't want anyone else to feel that way.

Ask for help if you need it.

Apologies for the typos.
Again.
