>>7839179I've been there anon, and opening up is hella hard. It's something that we are not taught as boys and later as men. It is also something that has not been rewarded for a long time in our society. It takes courage to open up, and it can feel overwhelming and even frightening. But I promise you it is worth every minute you spend trying.
Regarding your girlfriend, you can tell that you are angry at her agressor, and that you feel that your feelings don't matter - explain to her how ou think. I understand you wanting to keep your taughts secret, but it might do you good to share some of them.
Godspeed anon!
Also my current wall paper, have had it for a year. I'm finishing a second novel, I feel like my career might pick up. Kinda scared to get into a serious relationship with my current girlfriend, but might as well try. Can't really forget my ex, life seems uncertain and scarry, but I try my best.
