I Pretend I'm Okay

I Don't Like For People To...

I don't like for people to see my pain. People really don't see it unless they look at my eyes. If people ask how I am, I generally say that I'm fine. I do the same if I'm depressed. That's what I like about this site. I can say how I'm really feeling and no one judges me or complains avout me complaining all the time.

yea, Im that person who gets the wrap for complaining all the time. I realized that about myself when I was very young. And I also find myself telling people I'm okay when I'm not. I do it for two reasons: I don't think they really care even though they say they do and I don't think they'll understand. The feelings of depression are so intense. But I don't want to share the situation so that I don't seem pathetic. If people really knew what I have dealt with in my life, it would be a mystery to them how I make it through each day.

But as for people seeing your pain, I agree. It seems like you lose some of your power when you show any part of yourself on the inside. I feel like those people don't deserve my real feelings.
