A viewer writes: “My mom called to tell me that she’s having a party with my niece, nephew, his new wife (she’s pregnant) nephew’s mom and brother, and my brother. She didn’t call to invite me, she called to give me a heads up in case I find out about it without her telling me first. Okay, that was weird, but I’m kind of used to my mom and my brother not letting me participate, that’s been a lifelong thing. For Mother’s Day, my husband’s two sisters, his daughter and his niece, and his mother all got together but went to great lengths to make sure I would not find out about it except I did. I think everyone’s either embarrassed or they don’t care enough to comment on it. These are the people I have gone to great lengths to help, each and every one of them, without giving it a second thought. I’m just wondering, am I really that off-putting, disgusting, is there something about me that makes people recoil?” What can we tell her?276 views0 answers0 votes

She asks: “When I was very little, I used to think how great it would be if I had, I don’t know, intuitive knowings, see things others can’t, know things others don’t, understand the nature of this world in a way that most don’t take the time to think about. I thought those things would be cool. Turns out they’re not. Turns out they’re horrible. Turns out it makes for a terrible time trying to blend in with those around me. I don’t mean to sound conceited. I’m not saying I’m all that, I’m not, but I’m not the same either. I’m different, and I hate that because It’s getting harder and harder to fake it and pretend I don’t notice what I noticed, and pretend that I’m not who I am, if that even makes sense. I don’t even know how to “turn it off.” I am feeling like such a weirdo. Will I ever fit in anywhere? I have the best intentions. I don’t have hidden agendas. I really want everybody to make it and I’m genuinely happy when good things happen to other people. Why does it have to be so hard?” What can we tell her?301 views0 answers0 votes
