Sigh... I hate that I'm emotional 😓 As soon as things get hard, I tell myself that I don't...

Normally I comment back to all the comments I can but I don't always have words when I'm upset.

I appreciate you all being cool & supportive though 🥹

I realize that being mad at myself for having those feelings, comes from trauma & being made to feel like I can't show that. Especially in the background I come from. I can't express sadness without feeling weak.
I'm glad that SW lets me vent where I don't feel judged.. & that people actually care enough to talk to me 🙏
I was gonna delete this post but just wanted to say that first

I hate to be a 'burden', too. But it's ego.

I don't want to admit I need something.

'Fess up.

That's from fucked up conditioning. It's okay to need some reassurance now and then 🤗

You deserve it ok? You have a great heart. You deserve better things because of all the shit you've been through. Trust me I know how you feel

Suck it up like I do. Take those feelings, bury them deep deep down. Bottle them up until they burst

It's all about the balance. Give back when you're able, but don't be afraid to be vulnerable. I won't lie, if all you ever do is seek reassurance from people it can be draining. But if in between those times you're caring and kind people will be determined to support you.

I tell myself that all the time. I’ve made too many costly mistakes to think otherwise. So I stopped basing my happiness on the idea that I’m not all the things I wanted to be. Instead I focus it on doing everything I can for people. Even if it means being nicer to myself.

Hey man I'm pretty emotional myself and honestly I feel the same. I try to not need anyone but sometimes we do need a little reassurance. There's nothing wrong with that we're all human.

Better to be emotional and work through them than to hold it in and blow up. It's the harder thing to do. You're not made stronger by ignoring your emotions.

Lostpoet · M

Everybody goes through that and from what I've read about you you've come out of a lot worse.

You’ll eventually get out of it, you already want it to change. You deserve to not be so hard on yourself.

You’re a good egg, and it shows. I think that every time I see you here. You’re a self worth being true to. I hope it gets easier with practice. 🤗

But you’re not a burden, you give, and you deserve to get all the good things in this world. 🤗
