Was in the middle of writing a blog a few days ago when i fell asleep and lost it and forgot what it was even about. Its hard because i feel so bitter constantly on missing out on any sort of normal childhood or teenagehood. Now i look at myself and i am old. I havn't even worked up to it, straight out of the womb and instantly an adult. No social life experience inbetween so i dont even know how to function at the level a hild does. I can't get in. Its just constant embarrassment and you have to pretend you dont care while all these highly sophisticated communicating people are so happy makingsure you dont end up in their social circle. theyre also happy about the fact that at least theyre not this bad. I can see it light up in their selfish smiles. then again im guilty of trying the same teqnique to make myself feel like i have control. I tell myself,at least i can move, speak,read and write. Some people are truly trapped and cant do any of them things. Some people are truly trapped alone or trapped in a body.Anyway im trapped alone and thats what it is. Im so terrified of people but also terrified of them not liking my presence. Maybe thats the only reason im terrified of them. Im trapped in life though. I cant get myself out. There are reasons these lessons have taught me that i need to.stay but its soo complicated. Its not just a case of one direction, its a case of doing things in the right order,just like when im having a conversation with someone,to make sure they get me right because they always get me wrong ifi let them try and read me in their own wrong way. Im just ageing and dying slowley completely alone and i dont know how to feel about that, its so hard to deal with. I wish people understood me and vice versa.

Seeking an alternative to traditional therapy?
That’s why I’m here. My tools range from innovative new mind-body modalities (e.g., Energy Psychology) to the most ancient spiritual/energetic modality (shamanic healing). These tools enable me to help clients address most of the problems that licensed mental health professionals do – plus some they can’t. And usually do it more efficiently.
This is the main reason I almost always have one or more licensed therapists as clients. See the testimonials on my website.

Welcome to Williamsburg Youth Counseling, by Dane Wendell, LPC. We are excited to be in Williamsburg and to provide services to the youth in our community, through our private counseling practice. While working with your child/teen, we are able to help them navigate through their emotions and feelings along with teaching them healthy coping mechanisms. We specialize in working with youth dealing with depression, anxiety, stress, and the compounding concerns associated with them. Our practice believes that working with youth is drastically different than working with adults. Children and teens do not care about our philosophies, our educational backgrounds, or our theoretical orientations. What they do care about is their ability to relate to our counselors. Our youth today need to feel comfortable, supported, and most importantly, heard. We are able to help your child feel comfortable when starting or continuing their journey in bettering their mental health and overall wellbeing.

I know exactly what you mean about feeling excluded and missing out on something but not being sure exactly what that thing is.
I wish I could say something useful here but I can't. I could say something like "it'll get better when you get older." People have been saying that to me for the last 10 years – it's crap. I could tell you another platitude but I don't want to lie to you.
I'll tell you one truth though; I understand and am here if you want to chat
