It has occured to me that I don't think I can talk to anyone regarding my own personal pain, sadness, anger, or frustrations.
People often say, "you should get that off your chest" or "just let it out so it doesn't build up."
"Share your honest opinion."
Truth be told, people rarely respond well when you confront them with a problem you have with them. Sometimes they even try and turn it against you.
Sometimes I'll have lots of confidence to say what's on my mind or speak my troubles, and I'll either loose it all right at the last minute, or something will happen beyond my control that prevents the disclosure from being made.
Worse yet, I trust very few people with anything I DO share with them. Perhaps I've been burnt one too many times, particularly with members of the younger crowd, or even those people older than me who still act like they're in high school. Some people are SO desperate for attention, they'll exploit and expose you to others without considering your feelings for a second just so they have something to talk about.
We all know life is unfair, but why does it seem so much more unfair to some and not to others?
STOP HURTING ME!
Come on, can't you give me a break? I'm a good person. WHYYYYYYYYY are you doing this to me? What did I EVER do to you?
