I suppose feeling fake is better than being fake... :)

What has you feeling this way?

Hi Blossom. :D

I'm sorry you've been feeling fake. What brings up these feelings for you?

Take care.

thanks everyone. thanks for being nice to me.

i feel fake because maybe i am fake. and i don't want to be fake.

Maybe you're intensely real, and you're just faking fakeness.

You never know: if you get confused enough, you might forget all about it and just live. And that's all it takes to be real again.

What did the flowers say?

Maybe you've already said it.

No one says you always have to have words for what you feel.

what flowers? uh huh but i never can find the words i need!!!!

yeah i'm ok thanks sue. i'm just trying to figure out what i'm trying to say so that i can explain better.

i feel numb all the time. the only time i don't feel numb is when i feel sad. but when i'm with other people i have to pretend all the time. like if someone says something funny i know i should laugh and find it funny but really i don't because i don't feel anything anymore. but then i have to force myself to laugh or smile anyway and pretend i found it funny even though i didn't... then i feel fake.

Well, they were Sue's flowers to you, but ... you understood what she meant without words.

It's okay: I got confused first. :-)

I thought at first that you were talking about a flower picture you posted.

So: you feel flat. You decide that you "have to" feel what people expect, so you fake it. Then you get angry at your own decision. Is that sort of how it goes? Is it possible that it's okay to feel whatever you feel, and to let people know it?

Blossom

yeah kinda.

no because i feel like that all the time and i don't want people to think i'm like the most depressing person in the whole world... i want people to like me.

malign

We like you, Blossomy.

And, um, I bet I could've beat you in a most depressing person contest! ;-)

Maybe it's not possible to control what other people think, and in fact, people who like you for who you really are might be the only kind worth hanging out with.
