-- Posted by HOLLOWdepths at 4:31 pm on Oct. 14, 2008 I feel so terrible. :( I'm afraid to make new friends... the old ones probably hate me... my family's probably ready to murder me... I'm embarrassed to ask for help, even anonymously over the fucking internet... PATHETIC. Where did my self-esteem run off to? At times it seems that I should just slash my head off, but thankfully my common sense perks up, sometimes. Is it better to cut myself off from civilization so that I don't harm myself out of self-pity? Because i'm starting to think that's the only answer... god, I'm not even coherent. help? -- Posted by Catzcore at 4:33 pm on Oct. 14, 2008 you wont be a burden, everyone needs somebody to hold and talk to. You just need to let go and be your complete self and then you'll find a good group of friends -- Posted by ininjateddybear at 4:52 pm on Oct. 14, 2008 I feel the same. Your not the only one that feels like this way. -- Posted by The Wolfhound at 5:15 pm on Oct. 14, 2008 There is absolutely nothing uncommon about that, don't limit yourself. Unless you are a bad person, which you are not, just because you worry about others, even if you feel like a burden, others don't think so. Listen, everyone goes through that phase, it's going to pass. Don't try to isolate yourself, or denounce your friends and relationships. Live life to the fullest. There's only one chance at it...
