[summer_reine]

I was playing a game tonight, one I love. And suddenly a memory of doing something I wasn't comfortable doing while playing this game washed through my mind. I did it because I loved him and I wanted to be brave and I wanted to show him that I could overcome what I was convinced was a failing in me. I wanted to be worthy of his attention.

I see it with a little clarity now, it wasn't supportive encouragement. It wasn't coming from a place of care, or kindness, or love. It was him wanting to see me in distress, use my shame against me, and push my confidence down further. He needed to control me. His reasons are his own and they come from his own pain. It still hurts. So now I'm letting the tears fall for the past me who couldn't understand why it hurt so badly. They are good tears. Compassion for who I was. Understanding and letting go for her.

I probably shouldn't post this; I will anyway. You're my safe space, Lit. Thank you, again.

 

[LostHorizon]

Yes, listening to a song.

 

[~Elizabeth~]

Yeah something I read triggered some feelings.

 

[cactusjack0584]

Yes.

blindsided in the worst way, where I feel like a fool and stupid.....some friend....not.....why do I care when others clearly don't.
actions speak louder than words.

You should never feel stupid. I’m sorry that you feel people don’t care. I do

I got a little emotional during the vox pops from Rome after the service this morning... mainly because I saw that these people had lost someone very dear to them, and were grieving, and I'm sometimes just too empathetic.
