Can't Say the Right Thing

I seem to be incapable of saying the right thing.  I care about people.  I am interested in their feelings, hopes, needs, lives....but, somehow, I just can't do it well.  And it hurts.  To feel so...inept.  It made me cry yet again today.
Nobody is mean to me about it.  It's just that after I say something or ask something, I figure out that it was stupid.  And so...increasingly, I find myself just wanting to not interact.  I just am tired of risking and feeling so stupid.
I went through so much.  Lived through so much.  And I don't want to keep feeling so inadequate.  But, maybe....I am.  Maybe I am just so different that I'll never really fit in.
I used to do pretty well.  Or...maybe I just had friends that liked weird?  I don't know.  I just know that I am sitting here again, crying and wishing that I was able to just relate like others do.
It's too hard.
I guess I'll just give up on that for now.  Just rest and be still and not interact too much.....because the interacting feels bad when I end up saying the wrong thing when I am just being me.  I wonder if one day I'll just get it right?  Not thinking so.  Maybe I'm too damaged.  Too hurt.  Maybe I just don't get how people work anymore.
Communicating is so important to me.  So...this is hard.  Very hard.
Gonna go.  Need to get myself together.
grace to you.
