How do I connect with others, both casually and intimately? I feel like I lost the ability while growing up and I’ve been an outcast ever since. None of my friendships feel real. I feel detached from my family. I feel detached from the world. I try to find friends or look for a relationship, but it always fails, because I can’t get intimately close with people.
I’ve tried therapy. I don’t want to do therapy anymore. I’m fed up with the medical system entirely. It’s doing nothing for me. If there are alternatives to therapy, I will try those. I also do meditation and stuff and it’s helped a bit.
