You have a unique perspective. I have / am having this moment. I too have come to the realization that I have no friends, no "safety net," so to speak. I am 100% alone in the world. It's truly terrifying. I've always known I am an alien who doesn't belong here. Not sure what to do.

I heard it often repeated that if you feel like you don't belong anywhere it is because you are suppose to create a space where others belong. Be the beacon of light for your people. I have believed that. But I admit, sometimes I wonder whether I am self platituding myself. But what other choice do I have? What other choice do you have? Let's be beacons of light!

I’m in too much pain to be a beacon of light. Rather I am in too much darkness to be a beacon of light. Wish it weren’t so. It simply is for lots of reasons.

Seems common. I have/had a similar situation.
