Poem:
I feel unlikable
It sounds young
Immature
It sounds like I’m fishing
But I feel unlikable and it is what it is
I can list my attributes
And do also remember
What others have said
In their own throws of comparisons
It is disconnected though
Me talking to myself
An echo in a cavern
Otherwise quiet
Unlikable might be better said
Disconnected
And I was created for connection
I’ll never survive any pilgrimage on my own
I’m designed to say, “Me too”
But just this
Improves my sense of company
I can’t know why
Writing it out
Makes me think of you reading it
And saying something back
Selfcare Tip: Look for connection. You are not alone.
Question: What improves your connection? Will you tell us an example of a time you turned it around; went from feeling alone to then connected?

I try to listen to songs from a happier time that I have not listened to in a while. It seems to give my brain a happier feeling , even for a few moments, but it is hope.
