How being isolated like I am manifests itself? I have a good example. The \u201cshe\/he looks like [her\/him]\u201d that we perpetually go for because the brain is a pattern-recognizing machine.<\/p>\n
You probably have no idea how often that situation unfolds because it happens all the time and it\u2019s such a given. Everyone<\/em> looks like someone <\/em>they know or knew.<\/p>\n Well this pattern doesn\u2019t exist in my case. I\u2019ve never looked like anyone around me and no one around has ever looked like me. Or moved like me or ate like me etc. You get the point.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not a problem per se. But physical connection ties one to something bigger. A family. It\u2019s everywhere in real life, stories, books, movies. It\u2019s core to human societies. It creates a \u201cUs\u201d. You just need one other person to create a \u201cUs\u201d. I don\u2019t have one. <\/p>\n Y\u2019all mofos are going to act like \u201cit doesn\u2019t matter, you can always recreate\u201d but I know it does matter. Especially in tough times, which are here. I wish it didn\u2019t matter. Trust me.<\/p>\n Looking alike is almost social currency. <\/p>\n I have a family. But I\u2019m broke as hell.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" How being isolated like I am manifests itself? I have a good example.
