Another topic here hit a nerve

[Sarah Louise]

I so understand feeling of being alone (even when I am married) and obsolete.

Some days its overpowering, other days just so so.  This morning I didn't even hear the alarm go off.  That just isn't me, I'm always awake before the alarm just waiting.
Today I didn't even realize my spouse had gotten out of the bed until 20 minutes later.  That worries me. 

I need to find a reason to get out of bed, to get up and do something.  I have very few friends and I managed to irritate some of them on Facebook yesterday by clicking on something FB told me I had to.  Duh, stupid.

Just me whining again, I'll get over it.

OOPS! I think that is my fault. I am sorry Sarah. I apologize and should keep my thought's to myself from now on. I didn't mean to trigger anyone.

Thats just silliness. You're allowed to emote just as much as anyone else around here. Your post wasn't saying that anyone else's feelings were illegitimate. (No offense to the OP here, but i kind of think that this thread probably should really have just been a post of commiseration to the original thread...)

I think loneliness is kind of just a human (maybe even mammalian) thing.. But i think as transpeople we may be more susceptible to it than others.

No, not your fault Jessica, you posted a feeling that's what were here for.

As for making a separate thread, I didn't want to take away from yours.

It doesn't worry me if this thread gets moved or combined, etc.

Feel lonely standing in a crowd of friends, yeah it's happened to me too. I think it's common place and happens more than we know. Just no-one talks about it because it's unreasonable and is after all just a feeling and it will go away.

Thanks Sarah! I would never have thought for a moment you would take anything away from me. Keep on posting Sis!

It's impossible to talk on the internet without upsetting somebody. Especially since typing doesn't have the nuances of tone of voice and other context cues.

I don't know what the topic in question was. My presence here is haphazard mostly because reading and responding to new topics all the time is a nice insulation from the way ongoing threads can get hurtful to me or someone else.

I hope you are doing okay. We all feel stupid sometimes.
