People who know me irl would probably describe me as arrogant, immature, emotionally difficult, or hard to trust. And honestly, after losing so many friendships, I can’t fully deny it anymore.

The worst part is I still tolerate hurtful words and disrespect for years just to keep people from leaving.

My ability to build new relationships(friendships) in real life feels long gone. Somehow, making friends online became a small relief, but the real me can’t keep pretending forever.

And lately, self-awareness has started sounding a lot like:

“Maybe you were meant to be alone.”

For people saying “you can change” yeah, small changes happened.

But some traits keep coming back no matter how much I try, and they end up affecting everything around me.

I had a crush on him when I first joined college, but later I lost those feelings. Still, every time I saw him, I’d get nervous for no reason,I never really understood why.

Then he finished his course and left. During exams, he came back to write his supply, and I think that was the last time we saw each other.

That night, I kept thinking… what if we had ended up in a relationship and all that. But anyway, it’s all gone now. Maybe it just wasn’t meant for me.🤡
