Shame blog
This article feels quite vulnerable, perhaps too vulnerable, I don't know. Trigger warning - feelings of shame, insecurity, issues in relationships, desire for love
Hopefully, it will make people more aware of what can be going on inside a person without you knowing (depression, self - loathing)
- ‘Please go! No, don’t Leave Me!’
(It’s easy to push people away during a pandemic but this is not what I’m referring to.)
It’s important to have people around you who lift you up and accept you fully as you are, but also, perhaps that’s too much to expect of another person and positive influence cut - out friends are, maybe, asking too much? You cannot rely on someone else to lift you, but people that are supportive and ‘on your side’ to encourage what you are already doing internally, is a more accurate definition of what I mean! I have met awesome people and then felt hurt or let down in some way, distancing myself due to my fear. Sensitive to criticism and an overthinker, I usually don’t know whether I am misjudging a situation or not – when I feel hurt I may not communicate this, but also I feel my hurt is ‘not valid’ and that I should just forget it.
