when i am lonely:
i feel like i'm invisible
i feel like nobody cares about me
i feel like nothing i say or do is important
i feel like i could die
i feel hopeless
i feel like an alien from another planet
i feel like everybody else on earth has grown a second head
i feel like crying and screaming for help
i feel like time passes super slowly
everyday events and interactions with people are magnified
i lose perspective on my life
i latch on to any human interaction and squeeze the life out of it
i get cabin fever
i don't want to do anything
i desperately know that something is wrong
and i don't know how to fix it
nothing is ever good enough
i worry a lot about stepping on toes
i feel like a ghost
i get trapped inside my own headwhen i'm not lonely:
if something goes wrong with one person, i hang out with somebody else and that is ok
i feel like i matter
i feel like the things i say and do are important
time passes normally or quickly
i can always think of something to do
activities are pleasant again, even the ones i do by myself
i cherish the time i spend alone to regenerate
i feel like i can disagree with people
i feel like it's ok to have problems and that they'll all work out
i smile a lot more
i can express myself better
i don't worry about people passing judgement on methis was a good exercise.
