two years ago i went to mexico one of my cousins reminded me of myself. I kind of saw them shy and stuff like that, I’m not sure how bad it is for them but I know in the past it was probably kinda bad. i’ve dealt with severe social anxiety before so i felt like i understood them in a way, after coming back to the us i started thinking about it a lot more and now it’s something i think about pretty much every day. what i want isn’t advice from the or something i just want to feel understood and maybe understand them too because it feels like we’ve gone through similar things, I guess just to acknowledge each other. we’re not close but i wish we were, i feel embarrassed about how deeply i care about this because i’m scared they’d think it’s weird. i also never reach out first because i feel like a burden. i don’t know if they even care or if they’ve moved on but it’s been stuck in my head for a long time, I guess I have hope they care since I’ve seen stuff that seem to show they care too
