loneliness
I keep trying to combat these feelings. Find interesting and helpful items for others, I think, but not able to dismiss this feeling when my family is dismissive and isolate from me. I was told to get strong. I guess loneliness is one of my cross's to bear.

Realized that when you speak of loneliness, some think you mean being around people.
But, it is so much deeper than that. Reminds me of the invisible feeling felt being married. In that family where my performance to expectations was not negotiable.
