DAE feel like they’re not being human properly?
Like everyone else seems to naturally understand how to exist, socialize, express emotions, and just be, while you’re stuck overthinking every little thing. Sometimes I feel like other people are operating on instinct, but for me everything feels manual, like I’m consciously trying to figure out the “correct” way to react, talk, or feel.
Even emotions can feel confusing. I’ll wonder if I’m genuinely feeling something or if I’m just performing what I think a person is supposed to feel in that moment. It’s hard to explain, but it almost feels like I missed some tutorial on how to be a normal human being 😭
I know that sounds dramatic or weird, but I ask myself this all the time because I genuinely don’t know why I feel this way. Maybe it has something to do with the way I was raised or growing up overthinking myself too much, but yeah. I just want to know if anyone else relates to this feeling.
