Does anybody else feel like no matter how they try to navigate their emotions with people, it causes harm? I feel so helpless. If I tell people how I feel, I cause distress, if I withhold my feelings, I still cause distress. I don’t know what to do. I feel like I’m constantly in trouble. I try my best to keep my feelings pushed down because that seems like the only way I’m tolerable. I have such a hard time pretending everything is okay because I wear my heart on my sleeve, and I truly do try to keep my mask up. I wish I had a happier face so the people around me were tricked better.
