Well I wouldn't want to bother her.
Yeah, right? Why would they want me? May as well save us both the embarrassment and awkwardness by never interacting again, and save myself the pain by kicking down any romantic feeling or inclination I have so I'll eventually stop having them and won't have to feel bad about not being able to act on them
Fuck, sorry, I'm a lot better mentally nowadays but sometimes that still surfaces. Hard to stop over a decade of that kind of thinking and mental habits
I feel you, I'm in the same boat. However
Your profile picture does not signal this. Are you ok?
I like to tell myself that it's fine, and that I can live this way, and justify it with knowing this is not a privilege. Probably I'm hiding my mental problems well enough for others not to see it, but they are there. I know I'm not fine, and another thing I know is that I would tell otherwise when it comes up.
This is where the pictures originally from, I cropped it and touched it up a bit. In context it's not as bad as it looks but it does resonate with me
