society just loves to condemn sensitive people. we apparently don't belong on the internet. we don't deserve to have a safe place to be ourselves, but all the cruel people get free reign and are never called out. they act as if it is a choice to be sensitive, but it is not always a choice. some of us are just made that way and there's not really anything we can do about it. i am sick of people telling us to "toughen up" and "grow a thicker skin" as if it were that easy. i equate it to telling a depressed person to "just think positive" or someone with anorexia to "just eat". it's always been cool to be cruel, and those of us who are sensitive and kind will be steamrolled over and made into carpets for these people to walk on. so why shouldn't i die? i don't belong on the internet, nor do i belong in the 'real world'. there is just no place for me out there, except for in a casket 6 feet under.
