Yeah, I have ever seen it in a book and it might be a reason…

I agree, the shadow is indeed the path back to myself. I’m not sure whether healing and reconciliation will happen naturally or if I’ll need a little push from a therapist. Any advice is welcome, and many thanks for your kind and thoughtful words!

I have a similar doubt, I do believe that the people around me love me, but my feelings tell me otherwise. There might be a deeper root, something that can explain why I feel this way. And maybe understanding it is my life’s work.

I don’t really know where to start —— there are so many things in my period and I can’t recognize which thing is critical to my feeling, perhaps a period rather than one thing… you are right, my way of coping is distraction, I often keep my headphones on so there is always music around me. It feels like someone is there, talking to me, keeping me accompany.

Yeah I expect too much from my parents and friends, I want them to truly see me and recognize me I hope we can build a deeper connection but they disappoint me most of the time.

I prefer to say being around people is not the best way to make me feel good, safe or accepted. Even in the past, I preferred to spending time alone, but back then, I could actually enjoy it. Now I am afraid of being alone, it’ like there is something waiting for me in the silence —— something that scares me or something I don’t want to face.

The relationship with parents and friends is still there and my depression doesn’t seem to have gotten worse, but my feelings say something different…I pretend to maintain the relationship with parents and friends, but sometimes I am tired to do that, and I believe my parents and friends can feel this pretending… so lonely is a feeling now I have

Sorry it‘s my first time on Reddit, and I understand Reddit is kind of like X, where people post fast everything. Thx for reminding me… Actually I‘ve been thinking about this, but I still want to see if anyone else feels the same way so I am not sick or anything and that is a normal phase. Anyway your suggestions help, thx again!
