Im fragile. I protect myself by pulling away from people around me. Some read it as im hiding something, abandoning them or something even more sinister. They don’t see whats actually happening underneath, they don’t ask, they accuse, they assume. Having good intentions doesnt always look the same to everyone that’s watching. In my head there’s a paranoia that whispers everyone is out here sent to destroy me mentally. We are social creatures, we have expectations to be treated a certain way, as soon as someone doesn’t fit that norm because of their own issues then they are seen as the enemy. For me now friendships is something that is built from the foundation of trust, If you take the time & effort to build that with me then I will slowly open up & share who I am. You’ll have yourself a friend that stays after a dispute, a friend that waits for you when you need space, a friend that gives you that shoulder to cry on & supports you, a friend that accepts you & all your flaws.
