First of all, your question is a bit unclear… being "indifferent to everyone else" means that you have no concern or sympathy toward them -- is that what you meant? Or are you worried that others will be indifferent toward you?

I've been through a lot of pain and trauma in my life, and I feel that it has made me more sensitive and empathetic. However, I do know people who belittle what others complain about, because they've endured worse. But pain is pain, and it's all relative - so what might seem like a minor issue to you can feel like a huge problem to someone else.

If you are concerned about others pitying you or viewing you as pathetic, that is a separate issue that you do have control over. If you use the fact that you have survived despite your struggles as a source of strength, and if you carry yourself and conduct your life with dignity, then others will view you as an inspiration. But if you allow yourself to wallow in self-pity and take a "woe-is-me" attitude about life, then people will not want to be around you because it brings everyone down.

Also, you do not need to share your entire life story with the whole world. Most people that know me are unaware that I was sexually abused as a child. If the topic comes up in some way, I am not ashamed to admit it, because I was innocent and did nothing wrong. Most people know I am a single parent, but don't always know that I ended the marriage because of alcohol/drug abuse that killed my ex less than two years later. When people do learn these things about me, they seem surprised. It is because I have chosen not to be defined as a victim.

Again, it is how you look at your circumstances and whether you allow yourself to be held back by things that you can not change. All that you have control over in this life is what you are doing in this very moment. You need to make your choice based on who you are and the kind of person you want to be. If you choose actions based on what happened to you in the past, they you continue to be a victim of who/whatever caused you the pain.

properly it would want to seem dishonest yet in maximum case isn't because all of us opt for pals and sometime the only that are your pal in the genuine international might want to no longer be your sturdy pal after all so it truly is optimal to go back on line and ask human beings and word what they're going to say besides the undeniable fact that it truly is relies upon on what verbal substitute you both have at the same time with her or him. if it truly is like a sturdy courting verbal substitute than sure you're dishonest yet when no longer courting verbal substitute that it truly is okay. i'm unmarried so i do not understand if I actually have a GF how will she react yet all i understand she receives indignant about it so discover out a thanks to make it no longer appear as if dishonest is to inform your spouse or boyfriend that you've pals on line and also you opt for to be their pals and decide to search for suggestion from with them so. you both favor to understand one yet another first and word what you both agree on.

Yeah okay, but you are so on top of that business you can form a concerned question that I had to think about!! I don't feel like that on TV will happen to you. You write too well so you probably speak well too. You are too ahead of that game to worry about being in those shoes, I mean it sincerely. You are watching out for that. No sweat!! Good Luck, my money is on YOU!! @8-)
