One thing about me is that I don't really know how to talk about how I feel. When I'm going through something, I tend to go quiet and distance myself from everyone until I feel okay again. In my mind, I can explain everything so clearly, but saying it out loud is the hard part. So I stay silent and deal with it on my own. Then, once the pain feels lighter, I start talking again like nothing happened. It's not because I don't care about people. I just heal better when I have space to be alone with my thoughts. Sometimes I need time to understand my own emotions first. Silence is how I process things, and when I finally feel okay again, I come back feeling calmer, lighter, and more like myself.
