Welcome to Gaia! :: View User's Journal | Gaia Journals

For some reason, everyone comes to ME when they're down. They all want ME to cheer them up, encourage them, make them feel worth keeping on the planet, hug them, wipe their tears, make it better, give them advice.
Okay, maybe I am better at it than I give myself credit for.
But I'm not a guru. And when my advice doesn't work, when it backfires, when I can't make it better... it makes me feel worse.
I already feel bad guys. I'm a depressed little s**t. Why do you all put your problems on me? I have my own I need to deal with. Unfortunately, it's in my nature to put everyone else's first and forget about my own until later, when they're bigger, and meaner and worse.

Please, stop. I need my space. I need my own advice, and it's a lot harder to fix my own problems than it is to fix yours. So please, stop. let me concentrate. I need to. Please.

I'm sorry if you think I'm selfish. I'm sorry if you think I'm mean. I'm sorry if it's not good enough. I'm sorry if I'm letting you down. But this is me. And this is what I need.
