I feel guilty often. It feels like somehow, everyone's pain in the world is my fault.

If I how I feel it just hurts them. They get stressed and worry about me. In the end I just end up hurting them.

I can't even tell my family about how my days go anymore since, they're already really stressed and I shouldn't add to their stress. It'd be as selfish as they already think I am.

I feel like a some selfish brat.

I worry that if I stress someone out even a little bit that I might be the small thing that pushes them to the breaking point. And it'd be my fault if they hurt themself.

I have to hold everything in. It's never my turn to rant. I'm always the one listening.

I never get a chance to think about myself. Yet I'm called selfish nonstop.

If I try to help someone they find reason to blame their problems on me and get mad. All my "help" does is hurt people.
