i cry so easily in front of others. its f****** awful. i feel like such a mess, and its probably because i am. i just cried in front of someone i barely knew and i feel awful. i just want to be normal. i just want to have normal emotions. on the car ride home i was scratching myself so bad that i have marks on my arm now… just from being stressed out and embarrassed. i used to hurt myself in more extreme ways, and i could feel the urge to do it again. i didn’t do it tonight nor will i ever do that again because it is awful and makes me feel worse. but god, i need to get better coping skills. how am i supposed to live a normal life like this. why is it that when people are open and emotional i am understanding, but when i cry in front of others i hate myself so much afterwards? even in front of my friends and loved ones, i feel terrible for crying. i feel like an embarrassment. god, i am so much better at consoling others than being consoled. how the hell am i supposed to talk to this person again, after i burst down in tears the first time meeting her? in this moment, i want to die. but what i really want is to have a time machine and make sure i never cried in the first place. or cried earlier today so i didnt later. or got myself diagnosed with autism in high school so i didnt have to put up with all this b*******. i wish people cried in front of me more so i didnt have to feel so f****** awful. but until then, it will be ok. it has to be ok. even if this is a b******* mantra im making myself type because i feel awful, it will be ok.
