I can't stop myself from saying things I don't really mean, but I also can't bring myself to say what I know I need to. I feel like it's unimportant, and my problems are miniscule. I also can't be sure if I truly feel these things, since emotions pass by so quickly for me.. And I thought I could deal with it but I really can't. In particular, I broke up with my girlfriend not too long ago, and I didn't feel that bothered at the time since we've been off and on for about four years, and stayed best friends no matter what. This time, I feel like she also noticed how messed up I really am, and we haven't actually talked directly to each other since. we still talked every day, but only in group messages and calls. Today everything boiled over, so to speak, and I ended up telling her that we should stop talking, although I knew the whole issue was with me not talking in the first place. After all, that was the reason we didn't work out in the first place. I still couldn't change anything, and so I just accepted it. I've been stressing about it ever since, but I feel like it's better this way and we would never work. I keep getting upset over nothing and still never saying anything, and I hate even the thought of expressing this, but I still want to talk about it. Sorry, this was honestly just a vent...

      I don't want to lose her as my best friend but even that seems so pointless... I feel like she's better off not even talking to me, and I feel like she realizes that more and more every time we speak. I know things cant go back to how they were but I also don't know how to make things be okay even as feelings and boundaries change. I can't tell if I ever really loved her in that way, and every day I question if I even feel love at all, or if I'm just going through the motions. Empathy has always been hard for me, and I've always been blunt to the point of being insensitive sometimes. I still find it incredibly hard to care about other people's feelings, especially when they're upset, since I hardly feel things such as sadness. I know it seems contradictory but that's how I see it. Whenever I try to talk to someone I always doubt whether I'm truly feeling what I think I am, and end up never actually expressing it.

      Honestly, on and off relationships can be positive or negative but this is about your mental health being the problem or one not understanding then it’s better to just take a break and do any activities that would make you forget even for a minute. Just don’t put all the blame on yourself as sometimes we all experience the same thing and that’s okay, our mental health is fucked up at times but sometimes we need that time to cope with it and learn how to understand ourselves before others.
