You’re not alone, friend. And you’re not an alien, either, that I promise you.
You’re probably just empathetic and attentive, which makes you an easy target for those who use others to reinforce their own ego, which is… a lot of people nowadays. It’s what we’re taught, everyone is just a resource to be used and thrown away when depleted, or beaten into shape when it doesn’t fit. Otherwise, No. 1’s the only one, fuck the rest.
I’m sorry you’ve been brought to your breaking point, sincerely. But I strongly encourage you to really dig into the source with the hopes that you’ll see you’re not to blame for how others treat you (unless there are any major disruptive or maladaptive behaviours in play, of course, but I have no idea about your history, nor are any immediately evident in your post).
It’s just how things are now. We’re all, as a society and as a species, at the breaking point. The world’s a hot mess, hate has gained critical mass, huge bigots are grabbing power, and sharks thrive. And you’re not a shark. None of us is, but we’re taught and pushed to believe otherwise.
Hang in there and keep trying to seek therapy, but don’t count on finding it. I’m sorry for the bluntness, but it’s the truth. In the meantime, keep reaching out here. Honestly. Even though we’re just text on a screen, we’re all people behind that (well, most of us), and we can relate.
Again, you really are not alone. We may not be neighbors, but we’re with you.
