A problem people have is that they think: “How dare you say what’s on your mind, when I can’t”
ANXIETY. The number two reason people don’t see others is that they have so much noise in their own heads, they can’t hear what’s going on in other heads. How am I coming across? I don’t think this person really likes me. What am I going to say next to appear clever? Fear is the enemy of open communication.
It was the friendships that I was holding onto out of guilt, not out of love. It was the dreams I clung to like they were my lifeline, even when they no longer brought me joy. And it was the constant, relentless feeling of being tired! Tired of pretending, tired of giving, tired of convincing myself that things would get better if I just kept trying. If I just kept pushing. But later, I realized that pushing when you’re already broken only makes the cracks deeper. You don’t get stronger from pushing things that aren’t meant for you. You just get more tired. You just get more lost.
