Is it possible I'm fundamentally incapable of a normal relationship? Nobody asks that question academically? That's a cry from the depths of the heart. That's a question someone asks out of extreme pain. Many of us who are differently wired, who feel things deeply, perhaps you might say, never truly feel settled in this world, in this physical plane, in this embodiment, also struggle with interpersonal relationships, particularly of an intimate nature, but also because of our profound sensitivity, we have a great deal to share with others in intimate relationships. It may be true that the way that the world typically defines a relationship, that's not something that you'll excel at. That's not something you're naturally skilled at. And therefore, it'll always sort of be a struggle. You'll always have to work really hard and maybe just sort of imitate what you think the normal way of interacting is. But what I do wish for you is that you find somebody who can vibe with your weird, with your particular way of being and realize how precious it is specifically as an asset in a relationship. that not only do they tolerate what is quirky about you, but they realize that that's what makes you such a lovable partner.
