I’m not disconnected from me, I know what I feel and think, but looking around me I soon realize that I am not like the humans around me.
The brightest humans are at best ignorant Neanderthals, they lack intelligence, reasoning, and logic. They base their actions on lies and emotions. None of them have a capacity to think. They survive and prosper by sheer number and their bizarre breeding that is contrary to nature, the poorer and less access to resources that can support them the higher number of offspring breeding pairs will birth.

I heard a patient saying that during lots of years he had not felt human; he became a Marine as his brother did too. They went to Vietnam and his brother died there. During funerals he could not feel anything but stiffness and cold in his chest. He regretted that very special day because of not being able to hug his mother and father, he could he was a soldier (his words). Looking backwards he realized that he had not felt human for many years; numbed, isolated, out of his body many times. What a part of him wanted was to protect himself and others from becoming hurt by him because of his angry outbursts. Therapy made him human “again”. He no longer felt the necessity of disconnecting to feel safe.

What is human exactly and how does one feel human. I often times wonder exactly how we have defined these feelings and then how we identify with them. Many times I feel closer to my cat than I do to the other humans in my life. Does this mean that I am not human?

How sad and how great an understanding you have. Having met many individuals in my life that appear to be something other than human I wonder is there is a trancendence in their behaviours to what you have described above. Could it be that we mis-understand the interactions as mean and cruel when in reality they are simply a function of their environment?
