Is it worth telling others how I feel?

Sometimes it doesn’t seem like it. Everything becomes repetitive... the same looks, the same empty words trying to comfort me but only intensifying this feeling of isolation. It’s as if, by speaking, I only burden others with a weight they cannot understand. More people have been around me lately, but that doesn’t change anything. I will always be the shadow, I will always feel invisible, even when I’m right in the center of the crowd.

Sometimes, I get the urge to make friends, to try to fit in, but just as quickly as it comes, it fades. I pull away, I hide, because being around people only reminds me how disconnected I am from everything and everyone. It’s like an endless cycle...

I want to be close, but when I am, I only feel the distance.
