People who grew up emotionally neglected tend to carry some false beliefs about emotions in relationships. (By Jonice Webb)
Here’s a good, but not exhaustive, sampling:
1. Sharing your feelings or troubles with others will make them feel burdened.
2. Sharing your feelings or troubles with others will chase them away.
3. If you let other people see how you feel, they will use it against you.
4. Sharing your feelings with others will make you look weak.
5. Letting others see your weaknesses puts you at a disadvantage.
6. It’s best not to fight if you want to have a good relationship.
7. Talking about a problem isn’t helpful. Only action solves a problem.
Fortunately, not one of these beliefs is true. In fact, they are each and every one dead wrong. (The only exception is if you share your feelings with another emotionally neglected person, who may not have any idea how to respond). When you grow up receiving consistent direct or indirect messages that you should keep your feelings to yourself, it is natural to assume that those feelings are burdensome and undesirable to others.Whew honey this read me

I traced the clouds in the sky and wondered what I did wrong.
im starting to irritate myself with my poor mental health like damn can a bitch just keep it together for a minute
baku:
being mentally ill + suicidal at a young age (before 18) is. strange, because you grow up with this idea that one day you’ll finally snap, turn off, be brave enough to kill yourself, so you don’t really plan for the future. adulthood- further life, it isn’t for you, nor do you feel included within the future of it. it isn’t.. it isn’t part of your life plan.
and then before you know it you’re 18 and you’re an adult but you never thought you’d get this far and sure it’s great that you’re still alive you guess but also. you feel so alone + lost in a world you never expected or planned to be a part of.
yall 5 seconds after you start dating someone you’ve been talking to for 2 weeks: wow i love my s/o so much!!!! i am so in love!!!!! aaaa a ahsdbsbdnsbsbdsbjdfnjdbddbdb i love them more than anything 💖💖💟💟💞💙💝💝💛💙💗💝💟💙💝💝💛🖤💛💝💙💗💚💞💛❤💕💙💖💚💗

a lot of you seek out romantic relationships just for the sake of being with someone romantically, rather than seeking out companionship with people you have common ground with and letting relationships form naturally. you just wanna be able to say youre in love as a bragging right. then the minute you and ur new s/o talk about more than just how in ‘love’ you are with each other, you realize youre not compatible.

Made another meme
God made me unphotogenic to keep me humble and i respect that
i hate that i’m so absent as a person. i don’t start conversations. i can barely maintain them. i’m so weary and spaced out all the time to the point where i can’t even keep up small talk and i’m just so disappointed in myself
i hate knowin that people that ruined parts of me still live and function like nothing ever happened
You ever sat back and realized how much you allowed yourself to suffocate at one point in time because you were too kind?
are dark circles attractive because that’s all i’ve got going for me
