Dear coconut:

So far I mentioned your fear, or anxiety, but I can see your anger more clearly, this morning as I re-read your  posts. I think that your anger is as strong as your fear, or close to it.

“The reason I don’t talk much is because.. I  know people don’t really care… I don’t like to share because people don’t actually care… I don’t like to share because I feel like they don’t really care enough”- it is clear to me that you experienced a lot of that, talking and being discounted, or ignored. When that happens a lot, a person naturally gets very frustrated and angry.

Thing is, you have a lot to say, “I wanna be real and honest and tell myself only the truth”- if you could tell only the truth to your mother, what would you say, or to your father, what would  it be?

You wrote that you are a private person, but here on your thread, not having revealed your real name and identifying details, you can do just that, say it here. I promise you this: I will not discount what you say. I will respect what you say to your mother and/ or your father as the truth. I will read attentively and respond thoroughly. And I want to know, I care to know.
