i have felt isolated and alone most of my life. i am a highly sensitive person who feels everyones emotions around me. i cant keep friendships because people tend to use me or treat me like a ghost. they seem to disregard me or devalue my emotions. no matter how hard i try i cant seem to find people in my life who find me inportant or charished. i started to take lexapro a year ago just to calm the voices (my self talk) around me. i have tried therapy and i also felt it was a waste of time. does anybody else feel this way? are there some good books that you found inspiring. i just feel so alone.

I've felt like that sometimes, but I usually come out of it. People probably don't see you as a happy person that is confident in herself, and thats probably why they don't enjoy hanging out with you. Have some self esteem, ask people to hang out instead of waiting for them to ask you. Take control of your emotions.

Yes, I am like you. You need to battle constantly and not have yourself overwhelmed by your inner-self or otherwise you will stay a lonely person for the rest of your life. It is because you are hanging partly in the other world, where you came from and partly stuck on earth while most people are completely on earth. It is living inside your head instead of in your body and head. You are off-balanced. The only way to get over it is to socialize a lot, to do sports and to live disciplined. Be careful with the friends you pick and don't stay alone too long by yourself because you will depress yourself. You need to try to enjoy your life and to realize that you are not on this earth for nothing otherwise you would have stayed the angel that you were once. Find out what your goal is in life and do it quickly. My remedy is to laugh as much as I can, it is the best therapy ever. Rent a nice movie which makes you laugh and watch it over and over again. Dance with friends, sing when you are alone. Play the music loud in your room because when you are over-sensitive you cannot stand sudden and loud noise, am I right?

there's always atleast 3 people out there who love you. the people who use you or treat you like a ghost, don't deserve you.
you cant live life like this, people out there have died and many people want them back but they can't have them back, and you should try an live life to its fullest. the only way you will get better is if you try and change your negative mind. i used to be quiet, and alone, but not anymore. try and make some friends. my friends brought out the true me, and i couldn't be happier.
go out to the mall, or the park and just have fun.

you feel alone but you are not really alone if you have a family.
now when it comes to friendship you just need to let the time pass by and you will be building a relationship without notice it.

the best thing to do is work hard and make sure you don't have alot of spare time. the more time you have to sit and think about things the more depressed you get.

Read a book called RADICAL HONESTY, by Brad Blanton, PhD.
