I was scared.

Not that he was gonna hurt me or anything. Just, you know, seeing someone lose it like that. You know, it reminded me of how I feel sometimes.

Like I'm on the verge of just blowing up. All the stress and pressure and anxiety just bubbling up. But I'm never able to let it out like that. You know, I just keep it inside.

It can be sad and frightening to see other people collapse and go mad. It's not that I'm afraid that person will hurt me, but I've been on the verge of collapse, but I've never released those suppressed emotions.

Sometimes I even envy people who are crazy. They can collapse to the point of being crazy and don't care about other people's eyes. It is happier than those who are struggling on the brink of collapse.

It's okay to bend the truth just a little bit.

Bobby said

I just don't want to get people's expectations up and then disappoint them later.

People who have nothing to brag about and nothing to blame, exaggerating their strengths will only raise the expectations of others and add pressure to themselves. Why do people always have expectations. Not everyone is positive, optimistic, and has a plan and purpose in life. For some people, it just wants to have a normal life. For them, this kind of normality is a family that gets along in harmony, a healthy body, a friend who can talk to each other, and that's it.
