i’m a big hypocrite and useless. i always tell my girlfriend that communication is important, and i’ve gotten her to open up to me but my response always makes it worse. i wish i knew how to comfort people and how to stop sounding so robotic when people open up to me. i can’t stop it and it frustrates me. i’ve tried so hard to keep trying to improve and just trying to better my comforting skills for her. but i can’t. i’m so useless and an asshole. i’ve made her feel bad so many times. i don’t even know why she talks to me anymore if i can’t do anything for her. she already has a friend who would be a better fit than me. and the hypocrite part, i never open up about my feelings. i used to, but nowadays i can’t bring myself to talk about them. it’s just so much easier to be quiet. when things bother me, i just tell myself to deal with them. i don’t want to be vulnerable to anyone. i’ve been told my whole life that everyone will just leave eventually. maybe it’s true.
