I think today I finally believe people when they say I don’t show that I car enough. No exaggeration at all when I say in the past month alone I’ve come really close to loosing two people I love most. Seriously, for years (not lying) people have been mad at me because I didn’t show affection, acted like I didn’t them, i didnt let myself need them, I didn’t let them help me, or I acted like they meant nothing. The thing is, I never believed them and thought they were being clingy and it made me actually not want to talk to them. But two of the least clingy people I know who are two of the people I never want to lose have told me the same things in the same month. These two fights are also probably the only two fights (with the exception of literally only one other) that I actually cared to keep fighting and didn’t act like a bitch and tell them to fuck off. 99% of the fights I get into I never say sorry or admit I’m wrong and most of them I tell the person I don’t care about them and it doesn’t bother me that we don’t speak again. But literally, these two arguments were terrible and I felt like I was going to throw up or pass out during both, which I guess now I believe that I really don’t tell people how much I need them. It’s just that growing up, nobody in my house really was that affectionate besides me and I was always the sensitive one so eventually I felt like an idiot and stopped being that way or feeling like I should be that way because I found out doing that made it much easier to cut people out of my life if they hurt me and I needed to. I don’t think I ever stopped to think that I should act affectionate to people who did towards me, which sounds stupid but I was always afraid of needing someone too much in the end. Not that this is going to change with everyone in my life because obviously there are still people that don’t deserve it but along side these two people there are about 4 others that I should probably start working on.
