T,

Often, I don't want to tell you things because I feel like you will judge me. I feel this way because of my issues not because of anything you did. From the very beginning I had a feeling that the fact that you are younger than me would cause me to feel embarrassed about having certain issues/problems. Some times age does make a difference. You don't understand how it is to be my age and you haven't experienced the things that I have. It is very awkward for me to share about being sad every time my best friend goes away for weeks at a time. I feel like a kid and I feel younger than you and I feel embarrassed.
