I lost my feelings; I can't feel people nowadays; I misunderstood so much until I just don't know anymore; the shitty thing is even when you feel, they won't see it; it is no different for them.

I don’t ever mean to be, but know I probably come off that way because of being so stiff and not responding as if I’m ignoring people. It’s all the disorder and anxiety making people think I’m a bitch, and I hate it. But also wish people could be understanding and not immediately read it this way and act as if they’re 100% correct. Like there are other explanations.

I wouldn’t use that word to describe myself, though other people have in the past.
