At one point, I felt that I didn't need any family or friends, but longed for someone who understood? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

I don't like maintaining relationships with people. Most of the time, it's a temporary connection. Once the stage is over, I won't maintain it anymore. At one point, I thought that I just needed to please myself. Living in my own little world, I feel very secure, because I feel that in this world, only I am good to myself. When faced with people who don't understand me or people who can't clearly understand my thoughts, I won't want to communicate with them anymore, because I feel that since you don't understand, there is no need for me to say it, and I don't even know how to calmly express my innermost feelings.

Sometimes I feel quite indifferent. As long as the people and things around me are not related to me and do not affect me, I will not care. But I will also cry when I see a touching video. I don't know what's wrong with me. I feel that I am suffering from severe mental depletion and I don't feel well. I feel that no one can understand my inner pain. I don't want to talk about it, but I long for someone to understand.

Hello, my name is Dapeng, and I'm here to help!

It sounds like sometimes you feel like you don't need friends, and sometimes you long for someone to understand you. You're torn between these two feelings, and you're confused, aren't you? I can relate!

"Sometimes I feel quite indifferent. As long as the people and things around me are not related to me and do not affect me, I will not care about them. But I also cry when I see touching videos. I don't know what's wrong with me,"

It's understandable that some people might choose to be indifferent to avoid being hurt again. It's a way of protecting yourself, thinking that if you don't dwell on it, it won't hurt. But, I have to admit, watching the video also moved me to tears. I want to say, people are not machines, and they're not meant to be emotionless.

People are emotional creatures, and that's a good thing!

The moment you cry is the place where you have been hurt, the place you might be tempted to avoid. But don't avoid it! Face the moment bravely. Take a deep breath, breathe a few times, and then feel your breathing and the state of your body, especially your heartbeat, the temperature of your hands and feet.

Do this every time you encounter a similar situation. Don't reject your emotions, make friends with them, and then feel your breathing and body. Gradually, you will be able to accept your emotions, stop fighting against them, and reduce internal conflict. You've got this!

"I feel like I'm suffering from severe mental exhaustion, I feel very uncomfortable, and I feel like no one can understand my inner pain. I don't want to talk about it, but I long for someone to understand."

People are emotional creatures, and that's a good thing! We all need someone to understand us, and we also need to understand others. Emotions exist in relationships, and they're a natural part of life. If you have pain inside, it can feel like it's stuck with you if you don't express it. But when you share it with someone, it's like you're sharing half the pain!

And if someone shares your happiness, it will be doubled!

Hello, host! I really hope my sharing will give you some inspiration after reading your description.

In real life, we often think that depending on others will cause trouble for them. But guess what? Li Juhong, a psychological counselor, said something really interesting. He said that "dependence is an internal need and a way to enhance relationships." Isn't that fascinating? Moderate dependence can make relationships closer, which is conducive to the establishment and development of relationships and is good for physical and mental health.

Absolutely! Dependence is not something unique to you. It's something all humans have in common. And here's the best part: a moderate degree of dependence on others will bring a great sense of psychological satisfaction to the other person. So, you're not those unattainable suns, moons, and stars in the other person's heart. You're a close friend who can chat and talk about anything at any time!

In many cases, we are afraid to rely on others or ask for help because we feel belittled if we do. But there's no need to be afraid! We can overcome this challenge together. We can learn to ask for help and rely on others without feeling belittled. We can become confident in our ability to overcome any obstacle. We are not good for nothing. We are capable, and we can achieve anything we set our minds to. We can do this!

Embrace the changes in life! We can't always maintain an elegant and decent posture, but that's okay. We'll encounter problems that one person cannot solve, and that's okay too. Holding on alone will only make us feel more and more uncomfortable, but that's when we can ask for help! When we do, we'll find that we're not alone. We'll also find that we're not causing any trouble for others, and our relationships will improve.

Many people feel a sense of severe anxiety when asking for help from others, thinking that if they get too close to others, their shortcomings will be exposed, and they will be mocked by others once they know their abilities are not that great. But there's no need to worry! You can overcome this feeling by simply remembering that when you ask for help, it's not about exposing your shortcomings. It's about connecting with others and building a supportive relationship.

But the best part is that a good friend is someone who helps you and you help them! And the best part of that is that the friendship is built on heart-to-heart conversations!

It's not about waiting for your soulmate to come along and then communicating with them. It's about actively seeking out a true soulmate and then communicating with them!

When we open our hearts and chat with others, amazing things happen! We can make great friends and have wonderful, heart-to-heart conversations.

Sometimes we even feel inferior when we feel that we have no friends around us because we have closed our hearts. But there's no need to worry! The real reason is that we have never really opened our hearts to let others in. All we need to do is open our hearts and let others in!

So, go ahead and open your heart! Share your innermost thoughts with your family and friends. They'll truly understand you and help you. When we reveal our unpleasant feelings to others, you'll see your mood improve a lot. The troubles surrounding you will disappear!

So, don't keep it to yourself! Tell others about your worries and get ready to feel better!

I can totally relate to feeling drained from maintaining relationships. Sometimes it feels like no one truly gets you, and it's exhausting trying to bridge that gap. Just being in your own space where you don't have to explain yourself can be such a relief.

It sounds like you're carrying a lot of weight on your shoulders. It's okay to want some solitude, but remember, it's also alright to reach out when you need to. Maybe finding someone who resonates with you could help ease that burden a little bit.

I understand the comfort of your own company. It's a safe place where you don't have to worry about misunderstandings or miscommunications. But maybe there are ways to express your feelings that feel safer for you, even if it's just through writing or art.

You seem to have a deep capacity for empathy, like when a video touches you and brings you to tears. That sensitivity is a beautiful thing, even if it can sometimes hurt. Perhaps acknowledging this part of yourself can help you find connections that feel more genuine and less draining.

Dora Thomas The more we grow, the more we understand that growth is a process of self - nurturing.

It's tough when you feel misunderstood and isolated. I wonder if there's a way to find a middle ground—where you can protect your energy but still let a few people in who might genuinely understand what you're going through.
