people are not evil because they don't want to talk to you
nor are you unworthy for not having gained their affection. in fact, there is a decent chance it has nothing to do with you at all. they are likely as wrapped up in their own heads as you are in yours. sometimes it's hard talking to someone who's struggling mentally when you're not struggling yourself. it's very easy for me to fall into thought patterns of "I'm not suffering, so if I could just get you to be/think like me then you would be fine." but that's not the truth--or at least, not the whole truth. certainly, there are certainly harmful and beneficial habits and behaviors, but some assumptions about which is which can be damaging instead of helpful. I guess that's when it's time for me to listen instead of speaking, and let them fill in the blanks themselves? (hhnnn) - Atlas
