I Have Always Felt This Way.

I get sad often, for little or no reason.

I have panic attacks triggered by seemingly innocuous things.

I have a lot of baggage.

When I was a child, I was still this way.  I expressed my pain to my friends.. and, they tolerated it.  They'd hug me or let me cry..

Then someone told me I was "just being emo." "Just looking for attention."

... It was after people told me they thought I was lying just for attention that I realized that.. they don't care to help me.

My problems are my own, and ONLY my own.

I hate it when I can't handle it on my own and... I bother someone with the way that I feel.

Hell, I feel guilty because you wasted seconds of your life just reading this.

-sigh-

My problems are my own.

I deserve everything that happens to me.

While I don't like them... I deserve them.

... which is why I handle them ALONE...

So I don't burden the ones I love.
