Let's face it; I'm a self-important person. I keep secrets about myself. I hide my feelings when necessary. I get embarrassed. I have pride.

But that's normal for a teenager, right?

It just seems like I keep more secrets than everyone else. I have more pride in myself than everyone. And I'm especially stubborn and easily shamed more than anyone.

Secrets keep me sane. When I tell them, I laugh about it, alone, in my room. I talk aloud to the fairly bare walls as if I'm being interviewed.

And then when I do tell an actual person, it feels awkward or very 'special'. I don't like being put up on a pedestal like that.

Is that why I'm so alone?
