Letting people share their feelings

This is kinda a long story but I really want to tell it because I’m having so many mixed emotions and thoughts over it. I just had a work party and I really didn’t want to go because the people I work with are cool but like I don’t want to see all of them on my day off (no offense), but anywho, there was this dishwasher there who Ive met before but never really talk to because we don’t work the same days and he looked so over the party and I was leaving and knew we live near each other (we go to the same college) so I offered him a ride home to which he gladly accepted. I also know he’s super introverted and not chatty at all (unlike me the chatty extrovert) so I didn’t force him to talk to me or anything but by the end of the ride I ended up sitting outside his dorm for so long letting him just talk to me and he started tearing up over how he recently just went through all this friend drama and he’s feeling so lost and alone and how he went from having all these awesome friends to them kinda screwing him over behind his back. I wish there was more I could have done for him in the moment but I just listened and gave him my number if he ever wanted to talk, but I hope he knows that when I said everything is going to work out and be alright I meant it. he’s such a sweet kid and seeing him upset made me so sad😕 anyways if youve been through this or are going through this, you’re not alone and you’re not a bad person, you just need to find your people and it’s okay to take your time and find the ones who make you feel good about yourself and loved and sooo wanted because they’re out there! Trust me!

Don‘t trust your thoughts and feelings

Sorry hella, you’re getting an earnest response from me. TBH you know to expect that by now!!! Are those feelings normal? Yes. Should we trust them? No. When we feel like that it is because we are in so much pain. Pain that feels unbearable. The drive to hurt ourselves is to feel a different kind of pain as a temporary relief. The pain to hurt others is to shuck our pain off in the hopes we don’t have to feel it as much. Both options are futile and extremely temporary. Both will make us feel worse in the end. There are ways to redirect that drive to harm in a way that won’t actually go against your values. But keep in mind, underneath that is sadness. And sadness needs a lot of love. If this isn’t just a silly ask, and you are hurting, please don’t be ashamed to get support. I’ve been there more times than I can probably count. Love ya Hella 💗

i am soft and sensitive

and i dont think anyone understands the weight of that. i try not to take every negative thing that happens in my vicinity personally, but it’s so difficult. i want someone to know that if i ask them to hang out, and the answer is no, an effective way to communicate that to me is by saying something like “not this time, but let’s hang out this day instead” rather than just sending a me a “no”. it’s just one word, two little letters, why does it make me feel like there’s more underneath? why does it feel like underneath that “no” is also a “i fucking hate you and never want to see you again” waiting just out of sight? i understand that this is my irrational anxiety brain talking, i really do, but why does it seem like the biggest ask in the world for a little accommodation around this? and why doesn’t anyone want to treat me softly? is there a sign on my forehead that says “i may say i am soft, but that is not true i actually want you to be the opposite of gentle with me”? am i just a walking contradiction? is asking others to accommodate my softness just…too much? but why is it that other people can be soft, why is it that other people can be gentle and be treated gently? am i just that bad, that wretched of a person, that i do not deserve to be treated in the way i ask to be? i want to be loved softly, and gently, so badly that my fingers shake with it. is it just that obvious, and pathetic? can others see how badly i want it, and that just makes them not want to do it? i don’t know. i’m sad this morning. and i am sick of giving giving giving and getting nothing in return.

FLIRTING, LAUGHING, OVERTHIKING, EVERYTHING IS EMBARRASING

kinda need to take a moment to disconnect myself from the rhythm of heavy emotions that i’ve been feeling. everything feels like a burden and i just want to move onward. i wanna be free and wild like i expect myself to be, but being who i am, it comes with other side effects. i think too much. more than i wish i did. i just want to be able to do and feel everything without thinking i might be too much. those that make sense?????

DEEP IN LOVE

i’ve never been in love before. liking boys feels sooo strange. i knew it left me in this deep misunderstanding of what love should feel like. now that i think (think!!) i’m falling in love, there’s all these other questions in my head. and i’ve been a fan of coming-of-age films and books for forever, because to me, i think i was trying to fill that void in my soul of wanting to be loved. now, things are all around, rumors were spread, and i just want him and i to be okay, as friends. first, i think comes the friendship. maybe it will turn into love. in my head, i think i hope deeply, but for now… friendship.
