Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Hello and welcome to Bipolar Thoughts. My name is Steven and I'm gonna be your host today.

(00:11):
Today I wanted to talk about a little bit of kind of how I'm feeling a little bit.
Today I wanted to talk about feeling isolated. It's not gonna be a very long episode, it's just something
I felt like I might want to throw out there. A lot of times I feel like I'm alone and there's no one to talk to.

(00:40):
I mean there is my girlfriend and I can always talk to her but she only understands so much.
There's only so much that she can fully understand or really help with.
And you know, sure there's therapists but there's very few people that I can actually talk about how I feel and have them relate completely to me.

(01:04):
Which leads to feeling inadequate. Feeling like I don't belong or like I'm...
And this is for me in school and this kind of ties back to the last episode. Just kind of feeling like I'm so far behind my peers.
I just feel stupid and like...

(01:30):
I don't know how to explain it. It's not necessarily that... like I just feel behind.
I don't know how to explain it. Like I'm older than most of these kids but the problem is I feel dumber than most of these kids. I don't know why.
And I want to know how many of you out there feel the same way and how you handle it.

(01:52):
This is kind of an episode for me myself to kind of figure out how you guys handle it.
So I want to know how many of you out there feel the same way. How you handle it.
For me, I just tend to keep to myself which sucks because I really want friends.
And badly, I just can't bring myself to just walk up to people that I don't know and start talking to people.

(02:18):
And like part of that is social anxiety. You know, I get that.
But a lot of it has to do with the fact that like me not being able to regulate my emotions or like tell what other people's emotions are.
Or how to respond to other people's emotions. I think it's a better way to say it.

(02:41):
Like a lot of times I feel like I have to fake a laugh.
This is a big one is that I feel like I have to pretend to care even when I really don't.
And it's not even necessarily that I don't care. It's just that like it's just not important or like it's not.

(03:04):
Not that it's not important. It's just that it's not like it doesn't become a forefront in like thought in my mind.
So I don't really, I don't know how to explain that other than that really.
See, I guess that's kind of all I really had for today. I'm sure that there's a lot more I could say.

(03:26):
But I really, really mostly just wanted to hear from you guys.
