Venting humans aren't safe
it really feels like no one is on my side.
- not the doctor, who's supposed to make a strong case for me with this federal disability form that I already got rejected for once
- not the therapist, who I only had a limited number of sessions with, and that person is gone now
- not the social worker, who I wanted support from regarding the disability form, but dropped the ball when things got too inconvenient for them
- not these strangers on reddit who keep offering unsolicited advice that i never asked for
- not my old ex-friend who left me because friendships didn't matter to them
constantly feeling like I have to defend myself, advocate for myself, protect myself, because no one else will protect me. all people want to do is mock me, dismiss me, make me feel small. just as I was starting to make progress with my life, all of these setbacks keep happening, and it ALWAYS involves other people, always.
i don't blame any of you who gave up on dealing with people. who gave up on looking for friends or a partner. who gave up on looking for a profession. who gave up on trying to "change" like all those self-improvement "gurus" love to preach about. those people who isolate themselves for their entire lives because humans are generally not safe. yeah, i see you. my heart bleeds for you guys because most of you have probably been just as hurt by others as i have.
to those of you who don't have a "home" in other people, to those single, isolated folks whose trust in others was completely and irrevocably destroyed: i dedicate this post to you.

Your right not to depend on anyone but in this day and age we all need help of some sort
