Bear with me....

I just got done crying at a movie, and I'm really tired. Both make me a little... reflective. I made a list of what I do to escape my emotional pain. I'm just curious what other people do when they get hurt emotionally.

I laugh, or make jokes usually, if I'm trying to hide it.

If I'm not, I get very, very angry. Bruce Banner ain't got nothin' on me.

I'm getting better at making jokes and being funny... but it's still hard. Most of the time, it's just to hide it till I'm alone. That's why, when I get sad or lonely, I tend to put myself in a group of people. I know I'll act happy, and perhaps even convince myself, even after I get alone.

I cry. I sleep. I play videogames. I write poetry, if words come. I all too silently wish to be held.

Exactly... silently wish to be held. There are times, especially in church, I stare into space out the window, wishing someone would comfort me, but at the same time, wish they would leave me alone. Too bad they usually don't notice, because usually the need to be comforted is stronger, and rarely acknowledged by others.
