What can I do?
Today I realized something.
I don't have that kind of affection and connection with anyone.
I've wanted and searched for connection for so long, but I myself can't maintain any.
I'm a very good person, but also very fleeting in people's lives. I bring movement, but eventually I disappear.
I don't know why, but it's always been this way. I can care about someone, love someone, feel an unbearable urge to take the initiative, but it's never enough for me to actually start. I can still hold myself back.
I feel like I don't really care about anyone, I never text anyone, I never reach out to anyone, I never ask about that person unless they already start a conversation. I don't do this with my family, not even my mother, not even my friends, not even the guys I have a crush on.
I don't know if this is related to some kind of trauma. I certainly have a lot of skeletons in my closet, but I just feel comfortable this way, not having to deal with anyone's indifference, while at the same time always having to deal with loneliness.
It's not like I haven't tried before. I definitely have, many times, but it just didn't work out. I wanted to know if there's anyone out there who also deals with this.
