How to Connect with people?!
Hi! Maybe some of you have experience this difficulty with truly connecting. As a general rule I'd much prefer a room full of kids and animals than adults. I've struggled all my life in making connections and with good reason. Most people think I'm this crazy outgoing person; many don't really know me. My close friends and family realize I give but not receive making it difficult for them to really know me. I know they love me, would do anything for me, and think I'm a wonderful person. It's hard to accept this when I feel like a fraud; like one day they will see the real me and then leave. I try distance, faking it, to try to move forward and forge those real connections. Does anyone relate? Any tips, support, or tools you found helpful?
Well, there are few people who genuinely feel happy when giving, and without expecting anything back. It might seem a bit odd than usual, because people have been conditioned from birth to get more, rather than to give more. The few who do understand,see this as a great truth as well. Its not crazy that you do feel this way. And I don't think that beingthis would make people think you are doing something fake. Keep doig wht you're doing, with all your heart.
I am the exact same way.
