I Don’t Feel Connected To My Name
I don’t feel connected to my name. At all. Hearing it makes me feel either uncomfortable or usually nothing at all. My whole life it was pronounced wrong and that pronunciation is what most people use in (teachers, non-close friends, classmates). I hate the way the incorrect way sounds, I hate the way the correct name sounds, and I hate nicknames. I really feel a lot of distance from my body and my consciousness. Having no attachment to my name and body just makes me feel lost, alone, and empty.
