My Story Part 4/20: Feeling Isolated

Here is Part 4 of my story!! :)

Hey everyone, here’s Part 4 of my story! :)

Before I get into this part I first just want to share a couple things I’ve realized as I started this over the past few days... I said at the beginning that part of the reason I’m doing this is to challenge myself to be open and vulnerable. And yeah wow, I’m definitely feeling very vulnerable doing this. I think I just need to be kind to myself and accepting as these feelings come up. Just wanted to share that. :)

Okay so in yesterday’s part I started talking about how when I got to high school, I felt like I wanted to become more socially connected with my peers and classmates and branch out more. I also shared about how that proved to be a challenge for me, and how I started to feel isolated and alienated from my peers. I don’t think anyone meant to make me feel this way, it was just kinda the way things were. But still it was very very hard to deal with.

Today I’m going to talk more about that. When I first started feeling this way, I had no idea really how to even talk about it or who to turn to. I had never felt like this before. I didn’t really even know what to say. But I did know that it hurt. A lot. As this went on, a lot of the time both at school and outside of it I would feel extremely lonely and isolated from others and that was so painful. It was almost like I was in a bubble, separated from everyone else by some kind of energetic force. I felt so separate and alone and I hardly even knew why. I just knew I wanted to find a way out of this. I needed to.

I could talk at length about different things that schools can do to help students who are feeling this way, and I will be touching a lot more on that in coming parts. But for now I just want to share about how it felt inside to go through this. I know there were others who wanted to help me but it was so hard even to figure out how to begin to share about what’s going on. Maybe some of you can relate? I bet you can.

Tomorrow I will be sharing about some things that did help me through this and gave me strength!! Thanks for reading!! 🤗❤️😍🥰😁👍😄😌 #MyStory #MyLife #Part4 #Isolated #FeelingIsolated #Story #Life #BestFeelingEver
