I'm tired of the silence.

People want you to open up but they don't even respond to it. I'm not going to pour my heart out to a wall anymore.

It's not my job to pry conversation or information out of you.

Comfortable emotional distance isn't me. It feels unsafe and boring. Like people just want the ability to shut you out as they please. Never extending anything meaningful. Always prioritizing their own narrative. No learning. No growing.

People don't care if they lose you, they just don't want to lose their grip on you.

Yes to what you’re expressing! So disappointing for a connection to end up this way.

@RebelRaven I don't understand, but I'm glad I'm don't. I can't imagine someone opening up to me about something deeply painful and just saying nothing in response and changing the subject. Super weird to me. I'm not an avoidant person.

@EldritchFox that’s good, I don’t really understand it either.

I also hate it when I find crowds around me with the mere intent of harnessing my energy, in one way or another.

No agenda people, are very rare

@Boeing Yep. They like what they get from you, they don't actually care about you.

They aren't willing to be present with you through life's highs and lows, just the good times.

Even if they feel awful, they'll hide it, and maybe you can feel it too? I feel it. It's like a lie.

I am always open to the whole person, so when they pick and choose what they are to me it just feels dishonest and deceitful. Like manipulating my perception, when the beauty is in the totality.
