Half the time, my feelings contradicts.

How do I say, as much as I would like to think that my feelings are important,
I don't wish to make another feel like someone is being taken away from them,
especially when that's the person who understands her the most.

I know that feeling. Though back then I'd let it go, it doesn't mean I didn't felt a thing.
All I can say is, that feeling is unpleasant.
Everytime I or the people around me have gone through something unpleasant, I might not be able to stop it but I try as much not to subject another being to it.

I believe like many others, I very much rather take the bulk of the hurt than have someone else take it.
Because I know I can and I know I will deal with it.

But as for the other person, I wouldn't know how they'd take it.
I would rather be safe than sorry.

Don't question me why I handle things this way.
It's how I have been brought up and almost all I'd ever know.

And if there's anything I'm really good at, this is it.
