Is this normal?

I always feel like when I m hanging out with my friends it s like I m forcing myself to laugh, comment, etc. Everything, even smiling and talking in general, feels superficial. It s like something I m supposed to do so I do what I m supposed to do. I m a writer, and I don t know if this is a common thing for writers, but even as I write this I don t feel like it s coming from me. I hope that makes any kind of sense. My actions, I guess, are based on what I think a person should do and how they d react and when I write I feel like its.. not some kind of character but it s like I make myself write a certain way that isn t me? I don t know how to explain it, sorry this makes literally no sense. It s like I m always thinking and my mind is its own thing disconnected from my body, sort of.

    This isn't about being a writer. You happen to be a writer. You happen to have psychological problems.

    Then again, it might just be the drugs you indulge in.

    I feel like that sometimes. It's just bending yourself to society. If you never laugh for real, you're hanging out around the wrong people. I try to be find people who are less "typical" and hang around nerdy people instead l, like writers and people who watch anime (since that's me ;))
