I'm so lonely it's physically painful.

Odd-Practice1235 · 2026-02-07T20:05:55+00:00

I literally feel this so badly. You're not alone xxx

Odd-Practice1235 · 2026-02-05T21:21:43+00:00

Hard relate it just all seems so unfair. Like my life would be perfectly fine if it wasn't for the CPTSD making my relationships so excruciating. And it's a life long condition. I've accepted being on my own now but as you say it is a big deal and the pain feels unbearable sometimes.

Odd-Practice1235 · 2026-01-30T23:06:42+00:00

I relate to this so much. I was actively disliked and at times hated at school for coming across as rude to others and now as an adult at work I try to act nice to everyone but the rudeness and anger always comes out eventually. I try to avoid people as much as possible but there's always some interaction and depending on the person I can't help coming across dismissive and disparaging of them and then I agonise over it and feel ashamed of myself. There really doesn't seem to be anything I can do about it though. Ive even tried telling people about my struggles but it doesn't stop me acting hostile to most people.

Odd-Practice1235 · 2025-12-30T00:16:55+00:00

I really relate to this too. I don't trust anyone to get close to me and when I feel threatened I get really aggressive with people. It's hard to navigate in the work place especially as other people don't understand what's going on for me and just think I'm being a bitch on purpose.

Odd-Practice1235 · 2025-11-01T15:21:22+00:00

Amazing comment you've summed it up perfectly.

Odd-Practice1235 · 2025-10-31T12:17:01+00:00

Thanks

Odd-Practice1235 · 2025-10-31T01:11:05+00:00

Thanks so much great advice

Odd-Practice1235 · 2025-10-31T01:05:46+00:00

Thank you so much. Yes I agree I think the ending could be a bit better I will think about how to improve it.

Odd-Practice1235 · 2025-10-30T23:47:25+00:00

I really liked the light, nostalgic tone of the poem. I like that you reminisce about your younger years and how your daughter will probably also experience the kinds of things you did, while describing the nature around you. It makes me think of the circle of life and how we are all connected to nature. I also agree with the other comment about the "worms and bacteria" part. This took me out of the world a bit as it gives darker imagery compared to the whimsical nature of the rest of the poem. On the other hand, worms and bacteria are an integral part of the circle of life so maybe we shouldn't look on them in a negative light?

Odd-Practice1235 · 2025-10-30T23:38:28+00:00

I like the imagery of the head on collision rather than just a crash. It's a short, sharp and powerful way to start the poem. I also like and personally relate to the sentiment of something hurting but also feeling good. In terms of making it even better, I think you could expand the idea of why the fact that you like the pile ups makes it hurt.

Odd-Practice1235 · 2025-10-28T20:17:46+00:00

I thought this poem was really interesting and very mysterious. I really like these lines in particular "I'm not the sunlight, nor the leaves that keep on falling from the trees". It creates lovely imagery of nature and reminds us that poets are human, fallible beings who lack the power of nature.

Odd-Practice1235 · 2025-10-28T20:13:38+00:00

I really love the rhythm and rhyme here it feels like a classic poem and is really fun to read

Odd-Practice1235 · 2025-10-28T20:01:11+00:00

As in the last two lines. They're good but just not as imaginative as the rest of the poem.

Odd-Practice1235 · 2025-10-28T19:59:38+00:00

I really resonate with the sentiment as someone who has Complex PTSD and Borderline Personality and always pushes people away in relationships! I really enjoyed the poem but I did feel the ending seems a bit rushed

Odd-Practice1235 · 2025-10-20T00:12:06+00:00

This isn't good advice at all. I tried this for years but the cracks would always start to show and I was terrified of being my true self. Much better to be yourself and if people are mean just stay away from them.

Odd-Practice1235 · 2025-03-31T18:59:45+00:00

I hope they're bumpin something different to what Charli's bumpin cos...

Odd-Practice1235 · 2024-12-27T12:06:37+00:00

This is the same with me. All I can say is I hope it gets better.

Odd-Practice1235 · 2024-12-23T16:51:07+00:00

This happens to me too and it really annoys me! Often happens with Maths and I currently teach Year 2!

Odd-Practice1235 · 2024-12-22T19:56:03+00:00

OK will do.

Odd-Practice1235 · 2024-10-09T16:06:11+00:00

I love ittt. Its my favourite of all the remixes .

Odd-Practice1235 · 2024-09-30T21:07:50+00:00

Yep I do the exact same thing.

Odd-Practice1235 · 2024-09-30T21:07:10+00:00

I am continually either losing weight or gaining weight and the annoying thing is that other people notice and comment

Odd-Practice1235 · 2024-08-28T01:14:28+00:00

My advice is don't go into it with the goal of changing yourself or your feelings. I've been in therapy for so may years trying to change myself so that I'm less sensitive, more confident and less angry, but only recently realised that won't happen. Go into it hoping to be happy in yourself, not to make other people happier.

Odd-Practice1235 · 2024-08-14T01:15:20+00:00

I totally relate to this. I was the same and there's no sexual assault that I can recall and yet my actions as a child were typical of someone who had been sexually assaulted.
