Do you know? Many people have quietly given up on themselves

They go to work, clock in, and smile every day.

There are travel photos in their Moments, and they can send a "haha" when chatting, and even occasionally say: "I'm doing well recently."

But only they know that the real "self" has not appeared for a long time.

They are not happy, nor happy, but "numb".

Emotions are like a faucet that has been tightened, only dripping a little, barely enough to survive; it seems that there is a place in the heart that has collapsed, but life has to go on, so they can only cover up the ruins and pretend that everything is normal.

Sometimes they don't even say "sadness",

because no one understands, no one listens, and no one really cares.

So they gradually learn to be silent, get used to being alone,

no longer take the initiative to contact friends, and no longer expect any surprises in life.

I just hope that I won't make any mistakes today, and no one will find out that I can't hold on for a long time.

Do you know?

Those who seem to be the most fine on the surface may be the ones who need hugs the most.

But they don't say, don't want, and don't expect.

It's not that they don't want to, but they are too afraid.

Afraid that once they open their mouths, all the disguises will collapse in an instant;

Afraid that no one will be able to take it the moment they say it.

So they start to say: "Forget it."

Start to say: "It's good to be alone."

Start to say: "It doesn't matter, I've been used to it for a long time."

But is it really "okay"?

Have you really been "used to it"?

In fact, they are just tired. So tired that even "wanting to be better" has become too luxurious.

Just living has exhausted all their energy.

If you are also such a person, please remember:

You are not a defective product, you just haven't been properly placed for too long.

May you feel even when you read these words, even for just a second:

You are not alone, your feelings are real, and your existence is seen.
