You know, I have spent years struggling with my own thoughts that expressing my pain to others makes me an attention seeker. I have hated myself when I have shared, feeling myself to be pathetic, useless, weak, attention seeking. I don't have anyone to share my darker feelings with in my real life. My parents will no longer allow me to speak of any problems I have. I am angry right now and I am hurt. And I hate people who hurt me...really hate them. Anyone who dares to claim that this sort of thing is some sort of perverse act for attention??? JESUS f'ING CHRIST, you think I like being this way???? You think I LIKE feeling so down all the time, never knowing when my mood is next going to swing or when something else going wrong might push me into another rage? You think someone is going to beat the crap out of themselves for attention??? Give me a f'ing break. And even if some do do this sort of thing for attention, does that make them a bad person? They must be fairly in a fairly desperate state if they would go to such extremes in the first place. I am angry and I am crying and I am upset as I had just calmed down from earlier, and then some twisted jackass decides to throw more at me.
And I am left thinking... shall I go... but if I go, I will be seen as an attention seeker and if I go, I am left without the only support network I have right now, even though I do not trust many to actually care anyway, in spite of what is said. Shall I stay? But if I stay, I no longer feel safe expressing my pain, and will be left always wondering, is everyone else thinking I am an attention seeker too? IS everyone sat there, rolling their eyes and thinking, here she goes again with her stupid dramatics, why can't she shut up already?
