Lonely and hurting
I've been trying to make connections. I have friends. They can confide in me, and sometimes I confide in them. Some of us share hobbies and interests. Some I've met randomly. But, none of them give me the emotional connection I so desperately need. And physical contact is impossible do too long distance.
Romantic relationships feel like a pipedream.
And I have never "just act normal" or "fit in".
Right now I'm in my room, alone again; on the brink of tears but too emotionally represented and tired to cry.
I need a break. I need someone to hold me and tell me it's going to be okay. A sympathetic shoulder to cry on, that I don't have to worry about pulling away; leaving me alone again.
I always want to be there for them. But none of my relationships (Friends, family, etc) ever give me a fraction of what I put in. I'm tired of fighting the battle of diminishing returns. Of giving everything because I know what it's like to have no one there; and yet feeling like nothing has changed.
I'm still the same tired, lonely, pressed, loser I've been for years. Some may call me a failure, but I'm not. Giving it your all and getting nothing in return. That's not being a failure, that's being failed. My whole life people have failed me; and I'm starting to fail to see the reason to fight for myself.
