My life is boring. I have a nice family that cares about me. Wait...

Do they care?...

...Yeah, yeah they do care. They're just kind of... not there? I mean, we're there for each other, but we also don't see one another all that much.

I spend most of my time in my room. Alone. Talking to people that I can't see or hear.

And they talk to me.

We talk with each other.

We talk together.

Yet I'm still alone in the quiet.

Who am I?

What am I?


. . .


I am a normal teenager spending too much time on my phone texting strangers on the internet and refusing to socialize in real life. I also have anxiety. That's literally all there is to it.
I only wrote this because I was thinking about what I'm doing and thought exactly the 4 first lines and realized just how creepy it actually sounded out of context.
