Trapped

There are times when I feel so lonely even though i am surrounded by people. There are times when I want to talk about a lot of things but for some reason I cant seem to find my voice. There are times when i want to open up to others but i cant find the courage, or when i feel like i succeeded, i'll realize that i am still actually trapped in my own world.

Hi thank you for sharing here. Have you ever thought of talking to a doctor about this .. There could be something they could do .. I suffer from depression and some of the same symptoms .. Except i have bi.polar and i take medication for that and it helps with my depression .. I hope you feel better soon and at least reach out to someone close to you let them know how you feel .. See what they say ..im a big prayer person so i will be praying for you ...hugs

Hi! I havent talked to a doctor. I remember it started when i was young. I am trying to change back to the way i was. Though it's never easy. People's company makes me uncomfortable somehow. When you hope that they'll understand you, you'll realize that they dont. But it's okay. I talk to God. And thank you for the prayer. I will pray for you too.

@JesscaL I'm not a sir, I'm a woman with a strawhat on. If you know nothing about a member, it's better not to address them directly.

i have this feeling too.I'm afraid of speaking the truth and secret to the others,i fear people will harm and laugh at me.so i prefer to choose the silence.Without a word is a way to protect myself from the hurt of this world.

@JesscaL I agree with both of your points

Yes! We all fear rejection so sometimes we also reject ourselves from being free. It really takes a lot of courage to open up to others, but maybe someday we will.

Some people can be trapped in their own world, just come out once in a while.

Doing the opposite of what is wrong is sometimes hard, but seems to me to b good advice

I feel that way often. It is not always easy to express ourselves or to let others in.

@JesscaL Exactly

Yes! Because we feel like they'll judge us or tell us we're just being dramatic.

Hi, welcome to Mylot. Maybe you are shy to open up to people or maybe you think people may not understand you so you remain back. You need to find the courage in yourself, you are not less than others just because you think different than them.

I think we all feel that ways sometimes,,,best thing to do is to plow through

I guess the best thing is to 'plow through',,,,reminds me of my father with a mule plowing our garden. Mules do what they are supposed to do, no questions asked

Hello! Thank you, but I think not all people need them. Sometimes knowing that somebody's here for you is enough.

Being trapped is not a good thing. Be free by doing what you think is right and not according to what you feel. That is my advice. God bless.
