I wish, more than anything that I wasn’t so alone in the world. I try to confide in others, but I’m afraid to. Once you hear something, it can’t be unheard. I don’t want things to change between me and my friends. My family, I don’t know what to say. We’re not close. I’ve grown up in an abusive home for years. I’m still stuck here, I’m saving up to get out but I’m not there yet. I’ve prayed for death so many times. I wish I was out, I wish there was something better, I wish I could be stronger. Can anyone hear me?

Hey, im nobody special. But i hear you. I hear you, my friend.
I hear you, and I care. That you’ve survived this long takes a lot of strength. I hope you can hold on and find your way to a better life, away from family. I wish I could do more. I send you love and support.

This reminds me of a quote ” the greatest prison people live in, is the fear of what other people will think.” This fear keeps you isolated and alone, stuck behind those prison walls you built for yourself. You aren’t free to be yourself. You don’t feel a real connection to people because you feel like they don’t know the real you. That if they knew who you really were they would reject you. So you try to pretend to be the person you think they want you to be. Which is because of the abusive house you grew up in. You didn’t get acceptance or validation from your family so you don’t expect it from anyone else either.
