Does anybody else do this?

I’ve finally realized that the weird imbalance I feel in every relationship I actually care about is that I am far more deeply interested in other people than they are me. I’ve come to the realization that I make other people a special interest for myself, and that it hurts me when they don’t reciprocate this thing that they admittedly never asked for but do happily soak up.

What do?

I’m finally going to have to scrape up the money for therapy and the courage to actually talk to someone other than an anonymous internet rando about this, aren’t I? You guys can’t actually tell me the magic words to fix me, right?

I am not loving it

    Being ND allows you the sensitivity, empathy, & intelligence to see the bigger picture - and which is that humans are a connected species, we yearn for human company. You learn you want to talk to other people, while others might have closed themselves in for the sake of self-preservation. Just go forth and say to the world with a smile - ‘hi, how’s it going?’
