Truth is, most folks are pretending to care about you

Most are egotistical

Meaning they cannot see outside themselves

They are incapable of empathizing with you

Not because they don't know how

They genuinely don't want to

Humans are self absorbed

Humans are inconsiderate

They can't understand that emotions are natural not artificial

They like when you limit the amount of emotions you feel because it bothers them to see someone not being positive

Humans think joy is an obligation

They invalidate you, because you step out of social norms

It causes damage

They never realize the damage they've cast onto another, until the damage is felt

Until the damage is visible

Until the damage can no longer tell the world it's damaged

Until the damage suffocates you and you no longer feel like breathing

You get clarity when you're not here

You are loved when you're not here

You begin to be appreciated when you're absent

While you're present you're only taken for granted

Humans are backwards

That's just the way it is
