Yeah. But I think I do cause other people pain sometimes :-(
And yeah. Sometimes I think that I need to do what I did... But then sometimes I see that I was way overreacting... And that I hurt them :-(
Maybe... Hopefully... I am getting better at dealing with it than I used to though. And maybe... The hurt isn't as bad as I think it is...
