How can I understand others so easily, yet form no connection to them? There are parts of me which are so foreign to others that they cannot comprehend me. There are parts of me that are so similar to others that they form a connection with me. I cannot [will not] reciprocate this. I am entirely wrapped up in my own self, yet still I am Lost in the sea of everyone else.

Myself and Others: A Reflection
How can I understand others so easily, yet form no connection to them? There are parts of me which are so foreign to others that they cannot comprehend me. There are parts of me that are so similar to others that they form a connection with me. I cannot [will not] reciprocate this. I am entirely wrapped up in my own self, yet still I am Lost in the sea of everyone else.
APATHY: no connection to others NARCISSISM: self obliterates others CO-DEPENDENCE: others obliterate self EMPATHY: connection and understanding
