Maladaptive Daydreaming: where wild minds come to rest

Can't get along with people

3 more members just left, and all that reminds me of is how I can't get along with people, even online. I also had a bunch of people unfriend me on facebook recently too. I'm sure they were strangers, but still, it just reminds me how alone I am. I don't even say much on here, but what little I say is apparently offensive. I try not to be, but when you're cranky and have negative reactions to most of what you see in life, it's hard not to let that seep into what you write, even if you're trying to be nice. It just makes me even angrier because I feel worse about myself, and I don't want to. I don't want to feel bad all the time. I know this is all the result of my daydreaming because I've spent most of my life in a perfect world on the inside, and I just can't stand people on the outside. I keep to myself as much as possible, but apparently what little interaction I have with the world is enough to turn people off. I'll tell myself it's no big deal and get over it, but today's just one of those days when I'm extra irked. Thanks for reading. Sorry if whatever I have to say is so offensive all the time.

Comment by Patty on October 11, 2011 at 5:48am: I agree Cordellia. Sometimes there are no postings for a day or so on the blog and then it kind of ramps up and goes back down. People are busy and don't have time check the page or like you said are inspired to answer. A lot of times, I'll read a post and think 'Yep, I agree' but dont really have anything to add to it because I agree, so I just nod my head (which no one can see) and then leave that particular page. Its nothing personal hyperhero, we're just nodding and you can't see it : )

Comment by Cordellia Amethyste Rose on October 10, 2011 at 11:05pm: People respond to what inspires them. I wouldn't take it personally. As a whole, people on this site are really good about supporting each other. Perhaps you should post more about yourself, like more blogs or pictures. I'll bet people would respond. People often respond to stuff like that.

Comment by Cordellia Amethyste Rose on October 10, 2011 at 10:18pm: I disagree. I was born this way. It's in me, to the core of me. I can fake a smile and ask as many questions as I want, but it doesn't make me interested or happy.

Comment by Cordellia Amethyste Rose on October 10, 2011 at 8:03pm: Thanks, Laila. *inhales all the brownies and doesn't share* Muahahahaha!

Comment by Laila on October 10, 2011 at 7:59pm: You know you're awesome, Cordellia ~hugs!~ Lots of ppl would never leave, including me. ~gives you freshly baked brownies~ And I totally agree with Roxanne. :3

Comment by Cordellia Amethyste Rose on October 10, 2011 at 7:59pm: Thanks. :)

Comment by roxanne on October 10, 2011 at 7:55pm: Well, all I can say is, it's their loss.

Comment by Cordellia Amethyste Rose on October 10, 2011 at 7:48pm: Thanks, guys. I know I come off as abrasive sometimes. It's nice to know not everyone thinks that. I really appreciate your kind words.

I don't get OWN, Roxanne, as I don't have cable. I get irritable when I watch stuff like that anyway. It just makes me roll my eyes. What can I say? I'm just a cranky curmudgeon. Some days are better than others, but when people start to turn away from me in droves, I just get sad.

Comment by roxanne on October 10, 2011 at 7:37pm: Nothing could be further from the truth, Cordellia. You are incredibly kind & diplomatic in sometimes very awkward circumstances. I know I have said this before here, but I am really amazed at how many people on this site refer to themselves as socially uncomfortable, when , for the most part, everyone is smart, compassionate, interesting and brave - far more so than many people I meet outside. I can't wait to get on here for some interesting conversations. Where does this perception come from?

Did you see Oprah's Lifeclass tonight? Do you get OWN? We must let no-thing define us, not other's opinions, our possessions or lack thereof, our weight or appearance, etc. We are enough as we are. She discusses the false power of the ego - all those "things" that we let define us. (Eckhardt Tolle's Power of Now) I could see that my DD'ing has become an outlet for that. I think I'll start discussion, in case anyone else saw it.

Comment by SRT on October 10, 2011 at 7:26pm: Maybe my situation as not as intense as yours although I have much trouble socializing with people my age. Im angry at myself, people and the world and for them not being understanding and I for not doing well enough to be understood. I try to interact with people but it will never be as good as my daydreaming. I feel comfortable by myself. I hope that I can overcome my daydreaming and unsocial tendencies, but at the moment troubles are always at my door as a result of MD.
