I had a dream last night about not feeling like I belong in community. I just sat down at my computer to write another post about it. When I reflect on the times that I've not felt separate, it was because I wasn't in my head. So, I think both are true.....I do need more time to myself, so I'll probably never be the type to hang out in groups all of the time, it's too exhausting, I prefer 1-on-1 deep connection, AND, if I can get out of my head and stop running through all of the thoughts that cause me to feel separate, I think I can dissolve the feeling of "not belonging"
This article resonated so deeply with me and how I feel. One of the questions you ask yourself was particularly reflective of my own feelings "Do I resist community because I’m someone who needs more time to myself or do I resist community because I fear I’m good enough or that I will be rejected?"
