good work so far. it makes sense that the emptiness is becoming harder to ignore while you're in a relationship. Over time, as you continue to grow closer to one another, your "shadow" elements will become more and more apparent. This is a great thing! If you have the courage to face the inner conflict, if you are willing to get yourself the support you need, if you can set the intention of doing whatever you have to do to "heal". It sounds like you're dealing with deep, deep anxiety. It's good that you're this observant and psychologically-minded. You would do yourself a favor by gearing yourself more towards this kind of inner work. Dedicate time and space to figuring out what that means, what it looks like, etc. There's nothing more important in life, and refusing this part of you only perpetuates the cycle. I know that it's hard.

It's good that you can observe it. "it" (as if it is a separate thing) needs you to observe it more, and more closely, and more thoroughly. You'll find out what "it" is overtime if you refuse to abandon "it" (which is a split-off piece of yourself - a split-off feeling, experience, memory, etc.) Keep going.

you're not being corny you're being real. I hope that you continue finding avenues to express yourself. I hope that you find out who that "self" is. I hope you spend time with yourself and practice looking inwards without judgement.

it will likely need to come out with someone you've built a trusting bond with

"one of those guys" you mean a human being. you don't want to be a human being - you were taught to not be a human being. crying is how the body processes wounding. There is cortisol in tears. it's how we shed stress. I'm happy that your children get a better opportunity, but as long as you "don't want to be one of those guys that needs to cry", they'll sense that. And maybe you'll be proud of them for carrying the tough guy torch, because the world is getting less and less cry-friendly as time goes on.

🙏💪

Haha! Just not yet.

Hell yeah <3

Thank you, PandaLunatic!

@@girthquake2390 that's fukn harsh. You should fr speak with someone. It's a good metaphor, "tip yourself over the edge to let it all out", like a glass filled w/ water that needs to pour out or it will overflow. It's a good metaphor, but as a reality, potentially very toxic. If you let your friends decision be the thing that helps you move more towards the light, you'll be redeeming his memory. If you don't try to make meaning out of it that way, it will fester and infect you more. Schedule a call w me if you like!

@@smallpastels and thank you so much, for sharing as well. Never stop, and feel free to schedule a call with me.

I feel the exact same. It totally ruined my social life so badly and i still don't know how to deal w it

Thank you for sharing. Life is not easy. You must remember how to cry!

Hi I'm on the same boat. Maybe you can talk to me. ❤😊

Hiii

Hello brothers

@@No_Namee111 hru man

@@eon9554 doing good brother, how about you?

I understand. You can't repress the bad ones without repressing the good ones. Maybe it's more like *you've been repressing the part of you that feels* (good, bad, and everything). The metaphor is the heart, no? The "heart" is "repressed"

Haha. WELL, DON'T YOU???? No, good for you. And thanks for sharing. What a roller coaster, goals or not.

Your comment looks like a little poem

Rock on 😎💪

Yes. This is all easier said than done, and your comment is a good reminder of that. Thank you.

That's my job!

Samee I'm turning 12 in 3 weeks and idk why I always feel the same tho nowdays I feel sad for almost no reason and when I try to open up to someone to tell that I feel sad for no reason and just u know say it out I fear that they will judge me and nowdays I am suddenly feeling left out and just u know like I feel my family always paying attention to my younger brother,my friends leaving me out, I've seen my self walk behind them multiple times and they never looked back not only at school buf also at society when I try to tell someone about my day (my parents mostly) I feel ignored. I sometimes (like rn) want to cry but I have no reason to I just had fun with my friends and laughed a lot but then I...... Im sorry for saying random things but yeah I just wanted to say it out to someone I just fear people will judge me ok and I just get this relief that I won't meet the people that I vent to on sm so what's the problem thank you for reading this ily fuxk I wanna cry but I can't i just want to dissapear in a corner and cry my heart out idk if I'm overreacting but I..ahhhh thanks ❤
