People say I am different Ina good way.
It's brave to be vulnerable in a society that you know will take advantage of it.
I chose many years ago to pretend I was cold, but apart from the fact it was damaging me inside because I wasn't being myself, I also noticed I was pretending to be something I was not out of fear, scared to be hurt, scared to be vulnerable.
I remember a desperate teacher of mine who tried so hard to help me once said "It must be exhausting to be on guard 24/7" I knew I was emotionally exhausted, but I had no idea why, and at that moment I felt like she understood me even when I didn't.
I came to the conclusion "If you see a vulnerable puppy and all you can think about is 'How can I take advantage of it?', the puppy isn't the one with a problem that needs to change, it's the person with that type of mindset" because someday you are gonna cross the wrong dog.
