I've been beaten down by life and people all my life, there's nothing else to take from it. Grew up basically friendless and with a family that basically were strangers in my own home. It's like I was sentenced to solitary confinement from birth, but with a window so I could see everything I missed out on. I've been on my own for so long anything else feels unnatural, yet I crave companionship. What really cuts deep is missing out on all the foundational experiences people see as just natural childhood/adolescent milestones. People talk about missing out on teenage love a lot, but I missed out on things like sleepovers or a group of friends at all. Instead I spent childhood inside my room, ignored by everyone and everything. I don't know if I even want a "normie" life anymore. I didn't get to experience childhood, so what's the point of adulthood? The only reason people handle adulthood is looking back on their youth and feeling like they lead a full life. I don't. Instead I look back at everything I missed that just got worse and worse each year. Subconsciously I'm waiting for experiences that I fundamentally missed the boat on. The lack of which will plague me for the rest of my life. Never again will I be in an environment that's "safe" enough for social mistakes to be made. I'm expected to have gone through that stage and since I never did the issue just gets compounded. Responsibilities and what's expected of you keeps increasing and eventually you're just so far away from the average person society as a whole makes you feel like you don't belong. Sure I could pretend I'm like everyone else and supposedly lead a normal life, but like mentioned previously I'm perpetually haunted by my past memories, and at the same time it's a very hard thing to do. You can't keep up an act forever, eventually your character breaks and everything crumbles.
