one thing about me is i don't really know how to talk about my feelings. when i'm going through something, i usually stop talking to everyone until i feel okay again. i have many conversations with myself in my head about how i feel, and i explain it clearly there. but saying it out loud is very hard for me. and once i feel a little better, i start talking again like nothing happened. it's not because i want to be distant from you. i just understand my feelings better when i am alone. i need time to sit with my emotions and let them pass quietly. being silent helps me heal, and later i come back feeling lighter.
