| Re: Does anybody else feel this way?
Yes, I feel this way, too, and consequently don't mention it to anyone, except very briefly to close friends. I try to keep it out of my relationships, which is hard, because I have to hold back a great deal of my reality.
I think part of feeling that way is that our authenticity is doubted so often. It's not a cut-and-dried disorder, it's vague, it floats from one symptom to another, and that's hard to explain to others. I wonder if we feel we want attention because we're afraid we won't be taken seriously.
I also get so sick of dealing with it that I would rather talk about anything else.
