To protect myself, I try not to get attached. But despite my efforts, I do form connections, and with them come expectations. And when those expectations are broken, it hurts. It makes me withdraw even more.

What frustrates me the most is that while I go out of my way to understand others—to see things from their perspective, to be kind—they rarely do the same for me. No one truly puts themselves in my shoes. This imbalance makes it hard for me to trust, to open up, to make friends, or even engage in simple conversations. It feels like a cycle I can’t break.
