Note 55

[bingotothat]

Is it really so bad to want to hide your problems from your friends?

[redwhiteandhero]

Yes!

[bingotothat]

You never tell me what's going on with you either.

[redwhiteandhero]

There's nothing going on with me!

[bingotothat]

You don't even tell me how things are going with Fin.

[bitterpresent]

Not really. Friends tend to worry; they'll usually insist on helping.

[bingotothat]

I know, and I don't want them to worry, but I think that just hurts them even more whenever what's going on comes out.

[bitterpresent]

Then tell them. I'm sure they'll prefer worrying about you over walking around in ignorance.

Heh.

[heroicks]

Sometimes, withholding information is like lying. Especially when they ask you if something's wrong.

[bingotothat]

Lying, huh?

[heroicks]

Yep.

[girlinthepast]

I think so! [HYPOCRITE HYPOCRITE HYPOCRITE]

[bingotothat]

Even if it's because you don't want them worrying?

[girlinthepast]

Won't they worry more when they find out?

[bingotothat]

That's why they never find out.

[genki_ni_yuuki]

I've kept things from people before because I thought it would help keep them safe. When they found out they were worried about me. I think a lot of people don't know when they should tell others.

[bingotothat]

Telling them after the fact doesn't really seem to help.

[genki_ni_yuuki]

No, it doesn't. You're friends will understand though, it may take them some time but they will get over it.

[bingotothat]

...I doubt Alfred will.
