Struggle to feel wanted

Edited- as no one will ever understand  how it feels.

  • I get this, i struggle to feel wanted, accepted, part of anything. Even when I know I am, I still have an inner conflicted view which can spil any sense of belonging for me.

    Recently looked up RSD after it being mentioned that I show all the signs, I think that explains a lot. Possibly trying too hard go fit in and avoid rejection to just go with it. But the root cause in my opinion is a combination of knowing I'm different, having low self esteem , over analysing everything and often reading negative into things, catastrophising and so on.

    I always felt like I was watching the herd from a distance and when I was amongst it I was somehow aware of it rather than part of it, like I was tuned into a hidden frequency, if that makes any sense at all?!!

    Couldn't have put it better myself.
