I literally have this painted on my wall well the words anyways. My grandpa was in the Navy and he always use to say that to me when I was struggling.

I agree with this. I'm an introvert so socializing is not that fun for me in honesty. I find people draining but still wish along this life that I could have met at least one or two that stayed. I valued them way more than I was valued by them, if I ever was.
i used to think i was an introvert bc i refused to talk to people bc i was always insecure abt if they would even like me. think abt if whether ur actually introverted or just insecure. if u still think ur introverted thats fine. in what way do u find ppl draining? this draining feeling could be because of lack of social interaction. i def understand what u say abt valuing other ppl more than they value u which is also caused by insecurity sometimes. or u havent found the right people. in my experience finding the right people is a matter of trial and error meaning u have to talk to a lot of ppl. something else i want to say is that this feeling of not being valued by other ppl could be a lack of communication. communication is def scary and u might think they dont even wanna communicate with u on the subject of value. perosnally i just hint at that subject and see where that goes until i get somewhat of an answer. i once had a friend who made me feel insecure all the time and i was sure hated me and judged me and would never even consider being my best friend. but then we started building communication and became really close.
@EverywhereEverything you are right everyone needs friends even if you think yo are fine without any you are not you always need friends
Keep going little one, the light is still coming... and your endless run through the greenery and the tunnel of nowhere will soon reveal the other side.
Love this ❤️
You are brave
@CheeryMango Be yourself be your best self no matter what everybody is not your friend and you need to rust youself, your guts, and your mind set you are very smart and never forget where you came from or who you are.
@CheeryMango
Stop letting people stifle you. People are making you afraid to be straightforward, honest, and nerdy. Most of them like the same stuff you do and are afraid to admit it, because they're being cowardly liars. Don't let them make you act the same. Also, for the love of Pete, call you-know-who out for being a bad friend. Also, give hamburgers a try. Why do you insist you don't like them?
@CheeryMango
It was not your fault. You have not know this will happen. You have not chose to be part of it. I wish I can apologize more to myself. I’m really sorry
@CheeryMango
That it's ok to not be ok, and a religious thing that I've learned... And also to not be as curious about where babies come from... I had a lot of problems... 😬🤦😞
Connect with your grandmother and ask her to tell you some stories of how she survived the war and kept a family going.
Keep believing in the special protective presence you felt
