After having a bit of a mental collapse and modeling myself after western superheroes like Spider-Man and Batman I kind of become emotionally dead with other people, like I enjoy them, I enjoy our talks, but I keep myself from caring too deeply about them because it hurts.
I keep everyone distant, because I don't have time for them, and I can't tell them why. I've tried, it has never ended well. I just want someone who I can be myself around, the me I get to be when I wear this mask, because when I wear the mask I'm the most honest me. The face I have when I get groceries is my real mask.
