People need to understand that for those who have gone through trauma experience things differently.
If you went through an abandonment as a child, a breakup others would get over with in months can take years to overcome.
If you went through domestic abuse, even small changes in a loved one's tone can make you anxious.
If you were belittled your whole childhood, being professionally critized at work can feel like the end of the world.
Trauma effects us for a long time after it occurs.
I ask myself this all the time.
Relatable.

“Do you ever miss someone so bad, you break down and bawl your eyes out, because you are having a really hard time right now and that person is the only one on this planet who can make you feel better but you don’t want to bother them. So all you can do is break down and cry.”

I guess some people are just born unlovable and spend their entire lives being reminded of it by being abandoned without any explanation. It hurts to know that I’m one of them.
The thing is I know I’m not worthy of friendship, kindness, or even love... but you made me believe that I could be for a moment, and when you left I remembered why I was alone in the first place.
Because I’m a waste of space and energy.
