mh, ? 

I can’t not care about people. I find strength in this and it is also an extremely exploitable vulnerability.

I don’t think I ever “get over” relationships gone bad, people I know I wronged, rifts I couldn’t mend. It’s one of the things that makes it hard for me to avoid a lot of self-hate.

re: mh, ? 

@kistaro I know this feeling too goddamn well, to the point where it's enabled people to brutally abuse me and claim that no, THEY were the real victims all along because my requests to actually *talk* about a situation rather than constantly vacillating between groveling while being ignored and having the other party pretend nothing is wrong and gaslight me out of thinking anything ever was, rather than just, you know.

Walking away from toxic individuals regardless of how well-loved they are.
