...See more I don't want to be me I hate me I hate the way I look I hate the way I smell I hate the way my voice sounds I hate the way I think I hate how I'm broken I hate that I am addicted to hurting myself I hate the way I envy everyone around me I hate my life I hate my past I feel like I'm so full of hate I don't like anything about me I'm so tired of smiling I'm so tired of just being here and I hate how no one will ever understand people seem to not want to be around me I have no friends and every time I seem to come close to having them I push them away I want to fix whatever is wrong with me but I'm just too broken too messed up too much me I'm sorry I just really wanted to vent

...See more I have grown up in this family since I was 1 years old my dad married my mom and we live very close with my mom's family my mom has been with me my entire life but for some reason I cannot help but feel like I'm in the wrong place whenever the family gets together in groups I always feel like I'm somewhere I shouldn't be like when you go to a new friend's house first time I never really feel like I click with anybody I'll get along with them and we'll laugh but I always feel like I'm somewhere I shouldn't be like I'm an imposter I love them I know they love me but I feel left out I used to feel this way with my brother but my brother has recently gotten very close with them so it's just me I feel like I'm a problem and I can't tell them I feel this way because I really don't know why they're not bad people it's nothing they did I just no I'm not close with them like my siblings are and I feel like I'm in the wrong place

...See more Okay I don't think this counts as a personality disorder but I don't know what else to call it sometimes I feel like there are two people living inside of me on every social media platform where I talk to people over the internet I go buy potato but my name is Sarah I like being potato more than I like being Sarah sometimes I feel like potato is confident potato is funny people like potato but when I'm feeling down and insecure and nervous I feel like Sarah sometimes it genuinely feels like I'm switching something I don't know what to do with this if I'm in a situation sometimes I think about how potatoes would act in a situation versus how Sarah would act in a situation and they're usually different and to be honest it's really hard to explain this is the best I can do Anybody got any ideas on this?

...See more I'm not sure if this is a depression thing or what it is but I feel like I have a hole or a bottomless pit inside of me that I'm constantly trying to feel whether it be with new TV shows or people or even food I keep constantly trying to fill that hole in it never seems to be enough sometimes I just feel completely numb I don't feel happy or sad my dog died the other day and I felt nothing sometimes it's hard to feel things sometimes I cut just to feel something or out of nowhere I just feel a rush of sadness
