And in the end, nothing was addressed because what are feelings if they're not yours?
Why care about what another is thinking when you think you're right?
Why care about another's feelings when your own is okay?
And when according to your assumptions, they should be okay?
The person can cry, get angry, get upset or disappointed but you won't feel a thing because why should they feel that way? Based on your perception, they don't have the right.
I wonder how much of self-confidence and arrogance can one have. And I wonder how much do I need to not be affected by these people. I should be jaded. I should be cynical about things so why am I so affected when I'm not heard?
This needs to stop because it's putting me in a dangerously vulnerable state. I can't protect myself if I don't even try to be protected.
It feels as though my walls might crumble when in contact with anything now. Even the air that's surrounding us.
Much angst. But I don't remember what happened.
