I've sometimes felt like "damaged goods" because of past things that have happened to me and I've done. I know many people who feel that way too - even if they're not in prison.
Being in prison and having to suppress emotions is an awful bind to be in.
If you're not finding the connections you're hoping for, it could be because these people also feel damaged and unworthy, and are not ready to connect in an honest way.
It could also be because we're raised with different ways of communicating, and sometimes we misunderstand each other simply because of that.
I believe that you, just like every other human being, is worthy of connection and belonging.
