... F***.
[********. That's all there is to say.

Well, no not really. I've been... An idiot.

Lately, all I've been doing is pissing people off. Lately, in situations I've been jumping in head first and blowing up before realizing that I've had things completely wrong or completely backwards. All I can do after is apologize but...

That isn't enough, is it?

I don't know what it is, but it seems like, no matter what I do or say, people I care about either get hurt or get angry. No matter what I do or say, I lose. It's just one of those things that makes you think everyone would be better without you. That they'd all be happier because you aren't there to screw everything up for them or be a damper on their activities.

Do I actually think this? Unfortunately, it is a thought that does pop up on occasion. At the same time, I do all I can to be a shoulder to cry on, to be the one to help provide an answer in any way possible. Even when it means being the b***h who has to be the one to spoil the secret and tell the truth. But...

********, man. Lately, I can't do any of that correctly. I've been wrong so many times that I've lost count, along with whatever dignity and respect I had. I've been trying to change some of my habits that I know annoy people but they still end up further away! I haven't been there for my friends (if I can even call them that anymore) when I should have been, I say the wrong things, I can't empathize or even sympathize... And, through all of this, I'm feeling the sting of losing them all.

What do I have to do?! I don't know how to keep them, I don't know how to become closer to them again, it was hard enough the first time! I don't want to lose them... But... That's the very thing that's happening right now, isn't it?

There really only is one thing to say...

********]

You needn't be the strongest. You needn't be their pillar, the one they turn to.
Have you ever thought of what makes YOU happy? Can you honestly say that you like your role, but whenever you have a problem, your friends shy away because they don't recognize you in distress? Do you really think it is good to have to hold back to the people closest to you just because you might lose them if they see who you really are?
Their perception of you is twisted if that's how they think. If they cannot accept who you are, cannot accept the fact that you are just as human as themselves, then do you really want to be friends with them? Friends who don't even consider you human. Sad.
And if your friends make you happy, then think about how. Talk to them about it. Tell them straight-forward when you have a problem, and ask them for their help, ask them to lend an ear, or a shoulder. It may be difficult, but it is better than them guessing at what you need or want.
You say you jump in without all the information; don't. Don't be the mediator. Don't bother to do it. If it stresses you out, then don't put yourself in the kind of situation that you'll have to deal with things like that. Being the mediator means that they dump their problem on you and skip away. And if it doesn't have a good result, I'm sure you know who will get yelled at: you.
I know that you don't know me, and I know I have no place telling you all of this, but I have been in the exact same situation, and it has taken me years to learn to work with my friends properly, and shed away the friends that do naught but cause me pain. I'm only 17, but I still have been there. And I still learn.
******** yea, I mess up. But I get back up, and make sure not to trip over the same rock. I'm sorry for the rant, but I kind of get goin' when I think about this kind of thing.
My apologies.
