Genuinely love this
things to remember:
short responses or no responses are usually due to low mood and intolerance for socializing. not because they hate you and would rather you disappear.

I am often told:
“Everyone experiences that.”
“That’s happened to me.”
While this may be true, and I appreciate the sympathy, it also makes it hard for me to forgive myself.
If everyone has trouble making friends, why am I so often alone?
If everyone is overwhelmed by loud noises, why do restaurants and concerts and carnivals scare me?
If everyone forgets and misuses words sometimes, why am I often incapable of getting others to understand what I’m trying to say?
Does this mean I’m weak? Does this mean I’m lazy? Does this mean I’m not trying?
No.NO!
Because you may experience something once, but I experience it constantly.
Something may occasionally bother you, but it is a constant obstacle for me.
When I tell you something is hard for me, and you tell me it’s hard for everyone…
You are not helping.You are planting seeds of doubt.
You are telling me all the work I put into surviving each day is worthless, because I shouldn’t have to do that work at all.
Please. Don’t.
This track has been killing me since it came out last night. Finally, somebody did a good job describing Depersonalization and Derealization, which is something I’ve dealt with for the past 5-6 years. This song really brings tears to my eyes, because I don’t feel so alone anymore. I don’t know if ya’ll enjoy Hip-Hop, but this is a pretty mellow track, I think everyone should check it out. I’ve probably listened to it at least 30 times since last night.

“What kind of music do you listen to?”
“What are your hobbies?”
“What words would you use to describe yourself?”
????????
I have no idea who I am, please hold.
