I Feel Alone

The people who are important to you—friends, family, significant others—sometimes find it easier to lie or avoid you than to open up to you about their actual feelings. I understand because it's hard to open up. I need to work on my ability to open up and be totally honest so that I don't do this to people. Sometimes you wonder if you will ever know the truth about how people really feel, what's really bothering them, if you can help, etc. But until you know, they will hurt, and so will you.
