I have some serious problems. I don't even know where to start.
I can't trust people, I just can't do it. I push people away before they get too close, that's why I have hardly any friends. That's why I've never had a serious relationship. There's a reason I don't trust anyone, and that's because everyone I've ever known has hurt me, some more severely than others. Intentionally or not. I've tried to trust, I really have. But I find that I distance myself without my own consent. Whenever someone starts getting too close to me, I just shut down and act cold towards them, sometimes ignoring them, giving them attitude. And when I realize what I'm doing, it's too late to reverse it. How do I go to someone and apologize for something like that? I can't do it.
That's why I'm alone, I do it to myself, so I guess I have no reason to complain. I've started thinking that maybe I'm supposed to rot from the inside out. I know not talking to someone about things is unhealthy, but I do it anyway. But I pretend. I can pretend so well, I should be an actress. Everyone knows that I'm not the happiest person, but I try to paste a fake smile on my face, if I don't, no one will talk to me at all. I don't know what to do anymore. I have no one to turn to, but I've done it to myself, I've wrapped myself in a cocoon. I'm so sick of it all.
Lately I've been thinking about God. I read this book (well, part of it) about mothers and the relationships they have with their children, or lack of one. They say that if you've never had a connection from your mother, which is very important to establish in the first few years of a person's life, it's much harder for that person to trust others. They have a tendency to be alone, and independant. They also are very hard on themselves for their mistakes and they have a hard time believing and trusting in others, especially God. It doesn't help that I didn't grow up with Christianity in the house. I was baptised a Luthern, but we never ever went to church, except twice a year, Easter and Christmas. We haven't abided by that in years. I haven't been to church in quite a long time. If something isn't in your life and you have a hard time believing in people right in front of you, it's going to be much more difficult later in life believing in something that you cannot see, that you have to trust in on blind faith and blind faith alone. That's something very hard to do, and I'm not ready. I don't know if I'll ever be ready. And perhaps when I am ready, it might not be God I believe in, it might be some other religion.
I just don't know.
