I have completely lost my entire sense of self, I am aware of my government name and the many usernames i go by online but am i not sure these are names i want to identify as. It would make my life easier if i had concrete answer even if it was no. But sometimes it's yes that's my name that's what i want to go by but i am never sure. And this presists through my entire being. Who am I? I don't know, What am I? I don't know, One day i am one person the next a slightly different person. Some days i am confident in my being others am i not.

It does not help that might as well not exist to the world, Outside of my parents my existence is only acknowledged through government id cards. It's like i'm a complete ghost and can do anything and nobody would know. I could disappear at any time and as long as I never used any of my government id cards nobody would be ever able to find me.

I figure that prehaps having no contact with anybody outside of my parents on the occasion has left me with this feeling of not knowing who i am because humans define who they are as in relation to others something I practically don't have. I also lack a general purpose in life, I had one but it was ripped away from me but this cruel society what remains is just make money and see what happens.

I can't even confidently say whether or not I am the same man i used to be, I reminded by who i once was often but i am unsure if i am still that person or if society has broken me down and changed me into a different man. Prehaps i am the same man, broken but repairable that with right tools I can be the same man i used to be or if the damage is to much and i never be the same, am simply not sure of it as am not very sure anything about myself. I lack identity sometimes, sometimes there is a confidence in my identity but it's sort lived and am then back to the misery of indecisiveness

I apologize if i'm not making much sense here but it's just so hard to explain what exactly i'm going through. These feelings being difficult for me to even grasp let alone understand.
 
Same, I have to fake who I am so much around normies at work and family that you forget who the real you even was.
I think this problem is more common than you think, I reckon a majority of users on here probably the same way as you about this.
I've also just grown apathetic to everything, it's hard to care when you know no matter what happens or what you do it likely won't effect you or improve your life in any way, it's hard to care about politics or religion when you are stuck at the same spot in life no matter what you do, how hard you believe, or how hard you try. I used to be very steadfast in what I believe but I just can't bring myself to care, I'm an empty husk.
I agree it's hard to explain exactly what causes this feeling but it's definitely real and I think it's tied to isolation.
 
More proof that there's nothing to gain from this world as a sub5
It's just loss after loss

Frozen 2 was an awesome movie. Watched it in theatres when it came out and it almost moved me to tears when Anna sang "The Next Right Thing":feelscry:


Your post reminds me that famous quote from Patrick Bateman:

"there is an idea of a Patrick Bateman, some kind of abstraction, but there is no real me, only an entity, something illusory, and though I can hide my cold gaze and you can shake my hand and feel flesh gripping yours and maybe you can even sense our lifestyles are probably comparable: I simply am not there. "

This quote is probably not really what you're describing because in this context he's just totally insane, but it could also stem from his loneliness because even though he has "friends" they do not actually connect in any significant way and it is all preformative. This is why he is so surprised and moved when his date asks him "Haven't you ever wanted to make someone happy?" and she confesses her love to him and her desire for connection. He thinks that quote soon after she says this, which shows how difficult is to recover from loneliness. He is thinking of how there is nothing to connect with inside anyway because he has turned into a husk. Whatever he "is" isn't real because it has never been reinforced by an external source and then disappeared.

This all happens in the chapter "End of the 1980s". It is my favourite chapter in the book and I think reading it would be useful to understand what I'm describing.

This is why this forum is important, for some of us this is really the only proof of our existence outside of our family. If we are translucent ghosts when it comes to interaction and existence then I imagine posting and replying in this forum to be represented by flickering in our translucent form, giving us some semblance of existence rather than none at all.

Indeed.

It's because we're ugly and thus there's no point to our lives. No family. No love. Nothing matters. Nothing changes.
