I wish I could express myself to the people I care about. I’m a private person, and there was a time in my life where I realized that oversharing was never good. People don’t ask, don’t care unless it’s about them so why continue to talk about the things I like or my concerns? I stopped talking about myself and it’s been 2 long years and people haven’t got a clue on what I do because they don’t care enough to ask! They would say “Don’t worry”, “It’ll be okay”, “That’s cool”, etc. Could you give me any other repetitive dull, common response? Are you a robot? I want to actually talk and not just be a quick moment in your life to make yourself feel better. What about me? Any more than that and I’m suddenly “weird” and the conversation dies. Just sucks overall, but I know I’m super cool on my good days.

People are turnin introverted these days. They dont want to hear drama. Thats why we have this place for it. Our secret life is on here to protect our loved ones
I often feel the same way and generally I might open the conversation with a simple fact about myself just to try and build rapport with someone and get a conversation going about any shared interests we might have, and it seems as though often times this is met with hostility as though I’m being rude for trying to talk that person.
More often than not I just get the feeling that people do not want to talk to me and honestly as a young man this is true much of the time as young men are often derided or ridiculed for having thoughts and feelings.
