I know this feeling very well.

 

So many people just don't understand as to how easy it is to smile when you're dying inside. Someone can be surrounded by love and feel absolutely worthless and also feel unlovable. A lot times those go together. 

They don't understand that it's not easy to get over it or deal with it, it's just not that easy. When you say get over it or deal with it, you are essentially telling that person that their feelings don't matter. 

Sometimes a hug is all that is needed or a hand to hold. We don't need you to try to put us back together, to fix us. We just need you to be there for us while we try to fix ourselves.
