Hi, I’m a 20 year old college student. I have felt very out of place for as long as I can remember. I started using Instagram in 2017 when I was 13 and got heavily codependent on it.

I remember this feeling when I was 5-6-7 years old. I used to be the kid sitting in corner seats of bus sometimes sleeping - sometimes being bullied for that sleepiness.

I get to hear that if 10 people are getting along and the 11th is not then the problem is in him very often.

Eventually, I reached out to a psychiatrist and he managed to convince me the same. Yes, I accept that. I am aware of this that I might be the problem my way of thinking and cognitive biases might come in my way.

But I also am confused what could that 5-6-7 year old would have done wrong?

Now when I’m an adult this feeling is very pitiful and miserable. Hobbies don’t help. 8 years of chronic social media usage made me an Internet character. I’m non existent in real life. Solitude, loneliness and seclusion only amplifies my dependency on the internet and my anxiety.

My post is directed to people who might have had experiences like me. I’m hopeful of reversing this damage. I feel very stuck. It is going to be a long journey but I want to break free from these patterns
