Theory I think I always feel a bit anxious/panicky

[Hoppipolla]

I don't know if any of you have seen the film Big from 1988. About a 13 year old boy who makes a wish to be big and wakes up the next day as an adult!

And his mum chucks him out thinking he's a random stranger and he ends up (at first) in New York City pretty much by himself, feeling very scared!

Adult life is a bit like that for me. In that... I feel pretty lost in it. I don't have loads of mates like when I was 17 and I don't live with family like I did up until about 23.

I'm just... here. Mostly alone, kind of lost. etc etc.

It's not THAT bad but it's bad enough and alien enough to I think cause this constant low-level panic.

Anyway, I'll make a poll

I feel alienated and lost, its a miracle I ever achieve anything if anything at all. I will be frank, that I have spent most of my adult life more in fear as a common animal then living in dread as a human being; its when you realize you a stranger even to those of the same tongue, skin or even religion, your a foreigner in a foreign land, in a realm that makes no sense to you because it is not natural to you.

I always worry about random shit. I think being alone, currently a neet and in the same space most of the time, makes my brain over active. Outside of online forums I have no one to talk to so, I just dwell on stuff. I hate it, I wish my brain would shut the fuck up.
