Why I’m Afraid to Show My Emotions?

I’ve always wished to be judged not understood by the very people who will hear my narrative.

I’ve always wished I could feel my emotions are justifiable and I don’t have to keep it a secret since someone else would always prefer understanding me.

Most people, though, couldn’t get tired invalidating someone’s emotions.

Therefore, I always fear expressing my emotions.

I’m scared to be labeled as dramatic or too emotional when all I ever want is to be told that my feelings matter.

I wish people could realize that there are just too many individuals out there who are drowning in sadness and dying from the inside out because of the pain that they feel in their chest, but they are still too scared to express what they truly feel because it might get dismissed.

It’s difficult to conceal all the pain just because I don’t trust anyone.

At times, I ask myself how difficult it is for someone out there who also feel the same way.

I’ve always wished to be understood by the people who care for me sincerely, and I’m certain that there are some people out there who are just like me— waiting to be heard and to be understood too.
