So how is it that second-hand embarrassment is the single most powerful and weakening emotion one can feel from media?
Tragedy? Delicious.
A hard-earned happy ending? Wonderful.
A convoluted narrative? Keeps you glued.
Simple slice of life? It’s entertaining.
Second-hand embarrassment? Hang on, g, I gotta pause this for fifteen minutes, no, I cannot continue watching this right now, I am just not strong enough.
Reblogging because I saw a group of friends so happy together. I want to feel those too with friends (if I ever get to have). Only if I'm social enough (which I wouldn't even dare try).
I. AM. FEELING. ENVIOUS. HAHAHAHA. WHY DON'T I HAVE FRIENDS?
I need someone right now. Someone I can tell what I'm feeling right now. That I'm sad and hurt. Just... Why don't I have friends? Why the fuck am I crying already? This is shit.
I could write a thousand poems for you but surely, you’ll revise it and send it to her. :)
