I was talking to someone earlier today, a few people actually, on an online chat for support for survivors, and I was astonished at how nice people are...calling me sweetie, honey, lovely one. Even as I type those now I'm crying. Reading them made me ache and cry. No one around me says those things, so it's weird to hear them from complete strangers. I'm just puzzled as to why I get so upset when faced with kindness. I get so sad when my T calls me sweetie too. And I guess I'm just wondering...does anyone else ever feel the same? Or is it abnormal in some way? When people are nice to me it actually makes me want to crack in half and shatter....but I like it. I love when they are sweet and call me nice things, because it's so unfamiliar and it makes me feel like someone cares. I just wish it didn't make me hurt so badly.
