Another derailing story
I can no longer connect with anyone anymore because I have nothing to connect. I don't really have a personality anymore. Well, maybe I do. But I've spent so much time convincing myself that I had none so now I can't recognize what one is.I swear I'm allergic to sadness. My eyes start watering and I sneeze. Right now I can't stop sneezing
Why do I look so young!? :sob: All the times I've tried to ask people out I've been met with a "How old are you?" I AM FRUSTRATE
I get the "looking too young" thing as well. All the time at work I'll have people ask if I'm still in high school, then after revealing my age they immediately ask if I'm married and have kids. ??? It's pretty brave of you to ask people out in spite of that though!
Oh that's hilarious xD But I'm sorry that must get frustrating! And lol I'm hardly brave ^.^ But thank you :) That makes me feel better ^.^
Symptom of anxiety or even OCD that I thought for the longest time was just my ridiculous unusual mind--but it's not! And it's not your faultIntrusive thoughts, you might have them.
Sometimes we think of something but for the exact reason that we wouldn't want to have that thought--a disturbing image, the thought to hurt someone, the thought to see someone in a certain way.
I get really uncomfortable, absolutely crushing thoughts that ruin just about everything I care about. (Most of the time, each thought itself is not horribly horrible but collectively they have extreme power over me). So whenever they come up, I'll say to myself a sweet-sounding, innocuous word that curbs the thought. I call them "thought deflectors". I especially like the words "peanut butter." Even though it only really ever lasts a second, a thought deflector at least lets me feel like I'm in control of my own mind.
But if you're dealing with it, know that it's not your fault. See it/hear it, say this is a thought that I'm thinking. It's just a thought. And let it roll back out.
Whenever I try to read I start getting these questions--Am I understanding everything I'm reading? If I'm not, or if I'm not understanding most of what I'm reading at all then how is this meaningful? Am I still improving myself as a person if I read too quickly that I might miss something? If I read too slowly will I have time in my life to read all that I should?
Am I holding myself back from being able to do this much more effectively and enjoyably? How would I even know?
Do I like reading? Am I reading for the sake of reading? Or just to have done it? WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS IF IT'S THE LATTER!?
Why does it matter to enrich myself and my life? And why would it matter if I'm not happy at all for all that time? What does it mean to have a good life? What do I even want?
you're not 18. You're still turning 18 this August. So technically, you're 17.

Sorry for intruding, but reading through your journal, it seems that you and i think a lot alike in terms of thinking about humanity and how others think and whatnot.

And though I crave warm cuddles and an intimate loving friend that I can kiss while feeling cherished I don't want any man or boy touching my weak petite body
And I don't like being called beautiful or pretty because people have only called me that when they've wanted something from me.
And I'll tell you now this form is not me.
There's a glaring truth again--
That I wasn’t supposed to be born with little hands and little feet
And I wasn’t supposed to be born with narrow wrists you can crack with a single twist
And I wasn’t supposed to be born with a face like a weary doll
Women too that call me annoying for my caution
It's not my pretty, it's my weakness.
I am punished for my weakness.
They don't see the person, they see the prey.
Not a pretty prey
A crippled prey.
A brush, a kiss, and then a push.
I do want someone to say I love you to~

*quietly slips in* XDI'm like Lillian; most people believe that I'm way older than I actually am. That's mainly due to my height, haha. But I understand the opposite problem as well because my close friends have it often.
Anyway, hi. Where are my manners?! XD I'm Alia, and I've been on GR since September, but just recently joined this group. I so understand what you're talking about in this awesome journal, especially the questions you ask yourself when reading one. I overthink things a ton, haha.
*waves at Ahana and Lorien* Hello :D *whispers to everyone else* I know them from my main roleplay group here :)
Hi Alia! Your name is so pretty! Aww it's nice to meet you, and thank you, you're so sweet~ Overthinkers unite xD<3<3<3
Aww thanks so much!! :) So is yours! :D Nice to meet you too, haha lol thanks for the friend request :)
Ofc ^o^ And that's a beautiful picture of a wave!!<3
It's ok ^.^ I got busy too~
I'm almost 20 and I look like a teenager.
Hi, I'm Shine!
Hi, I'm Shine!
Shine! <3 that's a cute name ^.^
Delphinia: Thanks haha! :)
I'm an 18yo girl, I like reading, writing, singing, art, poetry, wasting time on netflix. I'm pretty chill. About to be a freshman in college
I have something like a whimsical personality, so I can be pretty silly, ^o^ but heartfelt too. It's nice to meet you all!
I'm happy to meet new writing buddies, and reading buddies too if it's possible.
I guess I have an idyllic view of the world, a lot of times it all feels surreal or somehow, too real. I ask, what’s your story? Sometimes I worry I don’t have any understanding of humanity’s people. Always wonder if my mind is very odd, or extraordinarily ordinary, or anything at all compared to the next person’s and although that doesn’t matter, I do want to learn how other others think and what their inner-dialogue sounds like. Even if they do think it’s ordinary. I want to know you, and I want to be your friend.
