Quote

I always had a feeling when I was a kid that I didn't really know what was going on. Everybody else knew stuff that I didn't know.

I had the conviction that lovemaking fools you. The overpowering emotions it induces make you think you're sharing the same feelings as the other person and that they're imagining the same as you.

It used to be that I was always paranoid or a loser or something so there's usually something that you seem to associate yourself with at one time or another.

Everyone gets the feeling that they know you and they know your life, and I felt really embarrassed by that.

People pretend to know me when they don't. I feel uncomfortable when I feel like I don't remember someone.

I never felt a feeling that I knew or could know to be unlike the feelings of other people. I never consciously thought, except after patterns that the world or my fellows set for me.

I always sensed instinctively from the earliest age that I was being lied to.

I have the true feeling of myself only when I am unbearably unhappy.

I feel that if I'm going through something, I'm sure someone else is, too. I try to be as honest with myself and others as I can be.

And I know when I was younger, and still, I always marvel at what I feel is different from what I'm told that I'm supposed to feel.
