Emptiness

Do you all feel empty sometimes? Like apart from the people in your life you almost don't exist or have purpose at all? I don't feel needed or wanted or if I feel ignored or rejected then I just feel invisible and worthless and like I could just disappear and no one would notice.

That is normal for us that is.


I don't feel human. It is tough to feel those emotions but they are normal for people with BPD. I just ride those emotions out. Part of me wants to keep the feeling invisible around- old coping skills but at least I would feel safe.

Thanks for answering. Yeah. That's true. Sometimes I want to be invisible. I guess I should just enjoy it. But then I feel so alone and it's easy to fall into a dark place when I feel like that...

And sometimes I wish I could just be and feel and function like a "normal" person so I wouldn't need to be invisible to be safe. And people could understand how I feel and see the world because everything wouldn't be so extreme and intense and irrational and impulsive and just too much.

I feel the same way too

this may help.

I observe the people around me in some situations when i think i would feel rejected or sad or embarrassed at and they just seem to not pay any mind or have those feelings at all SO i Try to reason with myself a lot that what i feel and think is not the truth it is just a feeling that is not normal inside me and that i have to deal with all my life

That's how i Try to cope with feeling unwanted

AS for emptiness it is the norm for us i don't have any tip yet

Yeah I feel you, there is a constant feeling of emptiness that I just can't seem to get rid off no matter what I do, guess I'm just tired feeling it so it just sits in there trying to seep my energy sometimes.
