i can totally understand what you are saying here. but not all of us are insincere when we say it. i also know what its like to want/need help and be afraid to ask or to open up. and for those people that really love you and care about you it is just as frustrating for them when they want to help but dont know how. i also used to think that people close to me should just "know", but unless we ask, they usually don't. we are so clever with our masking the pain its not always so easy for others to see. reach out to someone.
