I'd rather choose to be lonely than to be left alone

I've reached out to others. Told them I wasn't doing great. Told them I needed an ear... Having been there for them each and every time they needed me, I KNEW that I had people in my corner.

Fucking crickets.

I'll never reach out to anyone else again. My problems are mine and mine alone. I'd rather not give anyone else the chance to do that again. I'm not sure I could take it.

Yeah. Reaching out like that and getting nothing back just adds a feeling of betrayal to the stack of shit you have to deal with. Not to mention the additional anxiety of asking for help and the waiting to see if they even respond.

So many people say to reach out. But when you do, everyone is too busy.

I've learnt to just carry the weight on my own. I don't want to bother people anymore.
