Empaths are always exhausted because they see through the masks people wear as if they aren’t even there. It takes a lot of energy always having to wonder why people don’t want to live in their truth.

Having a personality disorder is insane cause it literally makes you unlovable like when you are a kid you are deprived of that love and safety and you spend the rest of your life chasing it only to realize you will never ever get it the personality disorder that resulted from the lack of love in turn has literally made you unlovable totally and completely everyone hates you the fear anxiety rage shame that eats away at you everyday the constant and inevitable rejection it’s an endless cycle of hell for anyone involved the mood swings knowing that anytime you let the fun crazy persona slip and they see how depressed empty and anxious you really are is no fun after all cause nobody really loves you they just love the way you make them feel always discarded the second the mask begins to fray

“I understand now that I'm not a mess but a deeply feeling person in a messy world. I explain that now, when someone asks me why I cry so often, I say, 'For the same reason I laugh so often- because I'm paying attention.'”

Non attachment is something I’ve been trying hard to grasp, and maybe one day master.
The emotional wiring that creates within us the overwhelming need to emotionally validate our actions and thoughts can be altered. Reading about polyvagal theory and doing Vagus nerve exercises has profoundly changed my mind, my viewpoint, and most of all, has helped me to work on stopping my masking behaviours.
Letting go without attachment applies to our thoughts: to the instinctual feeling we may have that forces us to internally assign a good or bad value to everything we do, say, and feel. If we can practice mindfulness in observing these valence checking behaviours, we can rewire our brains to let them go.

I wish that just for one day, I could turn off my hyper sensitivity and not sense every tiny nuance in people's attitudes. I wish that the only feelings I felt were my own.

No running, no chasing. Just being. You are you. I am me. We just meet. Sit, walk, talk, and we don't effort. EVER. Don't think. Don't plan. Don't care. We just exist together. @connectingwithsoul

Is this why I feel a sense of sanctuary at AA Meetings like no other place? Haven't encountered homophobia yet, but as I've learned from others, "if nobody gets on your nerves at a meeting, you just haven't been going to enough meetings." All are welcome, and where the hell else can you speak your mind and people at least are quiet enough to listen?
It's also very draining. I'm in extreme mental pain right now, and I seemto absorb and feel way too much, so sometimes I feel it's NOT good for me to go so much. My life is hanging by a thread, and I have nowhere else to go, and people have been kind to me there. I can't help it.
And a weird thing too. It's taking me a little to break through my isolation and low self esteem, so it hasn't been easy going to my AA group, but in ways I feel more at home there than at NA. In one way it's because of my queerness. At my AA group it feels like that doesn't have to matter and I can leave everything else at the door while I come in and focus on my self and experience. The NA group does have many more queer people, I think like 40% of the group I went to was such and while the rules are the same, I feel more almost pressured to make that part of my recovery. I do have some resentments regarding the gay community and how I've been incapable of forming relationships that aren't anything other than chaotic and painful.
Is this internalized homophobia? Have I been fucked up for so long, and not knowing who I am for so long, and having used "coming out" alcoholically, I still really don't? Have I snapped my own mind? Am I an empty, hungry ghost, unliving and hating it, with no energy to pick up tools for my liberation from this life, from this cruel, ravenous world?

WTF

I'm sorry for the rant, but a person who had to look up what being an HSP means when I told them (no shame for that, but you're hardly an expert) now saying, "Uh, I don't think you are if you don't know what's going on with me." is so fundamentally wrong and pissed me off for a sec.
Yes, I am HSP (highly sensitive person), and no, there's no direct diagnosis or any meds for it, which doesn't make it any less valid. Basically, everyone has a filter for all the sounds, smells, visual impacts, and so on, so you don't get overwhelmed by all that smacking you right in the face. I, as an HSP, also have a filter, but mine is letting way more through. Someone clicking their pen in class can take my whole focus from the lecture and redirect it at that single sound. Sometimes, it'll take me a few minutes to consciously realize where that sound is coming from, and then my brain's like, "Well done, girl, it's a pen, now we'll stay here for a while."
Yes, I do easily sense when people are upset or their mood is changing. I can come into a room and feel my own mood getting dragged down by all the negativity in it. So I have two options: Go with it or try to cope with it. I have learned ways to do the second; if you need any tips/insights, feel free to ask me; I'm happy to help.
BUT that doesn't mean I can read your mind. That doesn't mean I notice you're in a bad mood and know immediately why tf that's the case. And most importantly, it doesn't mean I'll make myself vulnerable and expose myself to every damn thing that goes wrong in your life. I love to listen, I love to try and give you advice or spend comfort...but I won't place myself in situations that make me more fucked up than you. I'm no help, then. If you need to talk or need help, just fucking say so instead of blaming me for not knowing the script to your life??
Also for anyone who's curious, this site sums it up pretty well

This test confirmed what I thought although, judging by how close my results are, 62 questions are still not enough to make the difference very obvious.

I’m a hyper sensitive person (HSP). I’ve been tested for autism multiple times. But my autistic friends are always very doubtful of this. My dude bro guy man, I am simply a sensitive silly little guy with social anxiety.
