The way people an speak so ill about you behind your back, the way that you are mocked by because your very nature does not allow you to "fit in" to societal norms.

I've noticed it occasionally makes me feel a little happier, but it seems to generally only serve to thwart my anxiety. And I have never had any dependence issues, and my dosage has never got out of control. I have come off Xanax with ease, ofcourse with a slow taper. With the exception of mild cognitive impairment, I can only say good things about Xanax.
> It may not be the most fortunate thing, but having a deep desire to be loved (and cultivating the ability to reciprocate) is the most wonderful thing about being alive.Two edged sword. Because I think this desire, by perforce, it makes us conform to others expectations and desires, not truly our own. We lose our true identities under so many masks.
What do you think?
> I believe some people are depressed because it is so difficult to know how to live according to one's nature.I would agree. But if one's nature naturally alienates the great majority of others, what is one to do?
The true genius' in this world have almost always suffered great solitude, loneliness, and had a melancholy temperament.
