Becoming Cold Hearted, and it’s weighing on me.

I’ve noticed a change in myself — I feel emotionally distant and detached, and it’s been a heavy burden on my heart.

I wouldn’t deny the fact that being someone like me is easy, Sometimes, I feel so overwhelmed that I can’t offer empathy to the ones I love and care about the most.

It’s strange, I’m turning into someone I never was — becoming someone I hated once.

People often tell me I am dependable and strong, but I wish they’d stick around when I feel down, even if I say I don’t need anyone.

Yes, I have my family But I always needed a special friend or someone I could depend on. I used to think that needing someone was not bad but this thinking changed with time and I started believing that needing someone would make me weak in front of people. I don’t want to let my guard down in front of anyone.

Deep down, I still hope for emotional support, the thing is I am so afraid of getting close to people that I think If I am vulnerable with them they will hurt me and It’s getting harder for me to make new relationships.

I thought I had a lot of people to depend on but it turned out the opposite, people come and go and nobody cares — it was just a thought! It feels like nobody cares.
