The worst form of suffering in the world.

From ages 1-6 I thought it was my scrapped knee when I fell off my bike.
From ages 7-23 I thought it was loneliness.
From ages 24-30 I thought it was hurting those I love.
From ages 30+ I feel it is any moment I left my well-being up to anything other than myself.

There are many forms of suffering far worse than those.. those are mainly sadness and deprivation aside from the scraped knee.. i guess it’s an internal emotional suffering

@YoMomma For me emotional suffering was always much worse than physical. That’s why I stopped caring about the physical problems as a kid.

@Reject emotions can be pretty traumatic.. for sure

@YoMomma My friends always thought I had a remarkable pain tolerance because I’ve suffered many physical traumas that didn’t seem to bother me. I felt it for sure, it just didn’t compare to what loneliness was back then.

@Reject aww sorry 🙁 i always had my family and was almost never lonely

@YoMomma It’s okay. I’m not like that anymore. I’m doing much better now. I’ve seen people who have chronic physical pain and emotional matters didn’t bother them as much. So it might just be whatever pain we’ve had the most of makes all other kinds less impactful.
