I've grown up getting taught that my feelings don't matter, and that I'm always "over reacting" so I've learnt to just keep all my feelings in and not tell anyone. I've been struggling alone for many years and anytime I muster up courage to ask for help, they always think I'm joking. I hate the way people see me as the friend who is always ok. I hate the way I was brought up. I hate that I've built this image that I am never hurting when that's just not true. most of all I hate myself
