I use to think that; "If I got out of the Military, there is no way I could fit in with civilians". "How can they know what strength, commitment, and loyalty is"? With this thinking, I have pushed many people away... My co-workers, family, and people that tried to be my friend.
I can not shake it. I know my empathy levels must be low. I Do Care about people. I would go into the burning building for anyone. But I still have an inner monologue that says, "you don't know cold, heat, pain, and distress".
My cousin is worse than I am. He cannot commit to a relationship. Drinking. Always in fights. But once a year, we get together and trade stories, drink some beer, and tell some lies.
I was wondering if anyone else has the same experiences, or problems?
(Please don't get me wrong - I am not trying to instigate, degrade, or put down anyone)
