My friend, I cannot count how many times I’ve disappointed myself, shut my heart up and bled on the inside because I said or did something just so I don’t look or sound too holy.

Just so I don’t hear the words, “you’re too emotional or sensitive or showing off.”

And the more I do that, honestly, I hate myself more.

I agree with you, and it’s not about bragging—, but some persons are just very good and are better than others. Most people are just insensitive asses. Unable to be empathetic. They have no respect for others feelings.

And yet, they make you feel like you’re the one something’s wrong with because you empathise. It’s so sad.

Bhavna, you won’t believe how much I relate to this post.
