I know I’m not perfect. Hell, I’m FAR from it. I’m still working on issues that I’ve had since my childhood. But you know what matters? I’m trying. I’m trying every day to work on myself.

I don’t ask for much, but if my feelings/emotions, struggles, trauma, mental illnesses, etc. is invalidated and treated like none of it matters, I will lose trust and faith in you. I am valid, everyone is valid.

I never expect nor ask for anyone to act as my therapist. All I ask is for acceptance and for at least a tiny shred of an ability to care. I never want anyone to solve my problems. Or solve my negative emotions. All I ask sometimes is for a pair of ears and a caring heart.

Another place I draw the line with trust and faith in someone is if I’m made to feel like less of a person due to mental illness, emotions, or even as far as appearance goes. This has happened all throughout my life.

I am human, everyone is human. We all deserve the best for each of us. We all have our problems. What’s important is being aware of our problems and trying to help ourselves.

I’m not calling out anyone in particular from this thread. This is something that has applied from childhood to present day. With family, former friends, classmates, strangers, past relationships, just about anyone.

I just want to be heard.
