Thank you . So much . I ' m sitting at work , TRYING NOT TO CRY . I wasn ' t necessarily looking for validation per say , but if a random person I ' ve never met can at least SEE that my intent was to bring him closure , that means a LOT . Do you think him seeing me would trigger him ? He ' s not talking to anyone else . I don ' t think he thinks he HAS an outlet , regardless of whether he ' d choose to talk or not . I just can ' t get over how I wish someone had just BEEN THERE for me , you know ? Even if I didn ' t want to talk . Just to see me , and be there . When he told me he battled anxiety , and when I started asking questions to understand , I asked how the people in his life before me would be there for him . He said he didn ' t know , because his friends didn ' t get it , and said ex they were dating at the time would get frustrated because of it and back off , so he ' d deal with it himself . I just remember thinking ' HOW SHITTY ! ' Do YOU think that me being there , even if there ' s no talking or processing would help ? Or would it maybe make it worse ?
