Loneliness
More than I've fantasized about romantic love, I've dreamed of another person I could share parts of my soul with, a friend I don't feel the need to pretend around.
I haven't had any friends for years now. The ones I had growing up, well, as a child I was too detached from my emotions that I didn't realize that we were "friends". And as a teenager I feared vulnerability to the extent that it was too much for me to consider them friends. I always kept people at arms length, people understandably don't like to be put in that position.
I kind of have one person I could trust with things I've never trusted friends with before. But we're not quite friends I'd say. I think we're two people who found themselves in a bit of similar circumstances and connected over that. I'll be embarrassingly honest, they are the closest friend I've ever had, although this feeling isn't mutual. it hurts that their actions scream that they're only tolerating me while they say they aren't. just goes to show how my fragility and insecurity seeps through no matter how much i try to hide it, that they feel obligated to pretend to "not hurt my feelings". It's the most obvious unspoken rejection I've ever received, but i still cling onto them. Pathetic
