I don't want people feeling sad/sorry for me.
That causes me more pain than the pain I had before, that I make people feel sad.
And then because I missed out on the whole emotional regulation thing, the pain goes out of control.
Then I'm 10 times worse than when I started.
And I'm the one who started it all by talking about it, so whose arse should I be kicking?
I never learn.
I'm mentally challenged.
That's me.
But it's on my mind, and I have to get it off my mind, but I don't necessarily want anyone to acknowledge it.
But of course people will.
I don't know what I want.
More pain?
With a side order of ouch.
i don't feel sorry for you. maybe a bit sad that i might lose you, but you talking about it doesn't make that worse. i'm the sort of person (like you) who enjoys being helpful. you gave me an opportunity to try to help. you gave me a gift. you needn't feel bad about that.
It's obvious I can't explain this.
Or anything.
Else.
