I made a personal piece whee- in short it’s abt me managing my emotions by bottling them up, ig it’s somewhat venty but mostly illustrative-

Tw- emo backstory, bottling emotions

For personal context, I am a very quiet person and have always tried to hide my pain(I think? My memory is pretty dogshit honestly) I usually put it away because I don’t like dealing with it because I’m “too sensitive”. Im not the best at masking, but I have a habit of bottling up stuff until it becomes too much, which im holding to work against. I don’t go to anyone because I feel like no one will understand how I feel the way that I do; I feel like no one will listen. Im not saying I want to just be moping around all day(despite that I do that a lot) but just having someone listen is really fine. As a person I don’t talk a lot bc it’s my nature in the sense that I don’t have a lot to say and feel like I won’t fit in, so with that, I want to accept myself as I am, or even just try to grow my social skills back up.

To those who struggle with this as well, I’m wishing much much luck to you, I know that we can get through this shitstorm. You’re doing great.
