People often do not know the silent tears that we cried. They think we’re ok when we’re really crying and hurting deeply.
We don’t want to appear weak and thereby be avoided by other peole. We don’t want to add burden or worry to those who love us. We know we would not be understood anyways and crying will only complicate things.
It would have been a lot easier to cry with people who can support you. It would have been easier if everybody knew what you’re going through.
But when you cry in silence, you’re all alone in your tears. People may even judge you because they don’t understand that you’re already trying the best you could.
In some instances, you may even have tried to tell people how you’re already hurting, but they don’t believe you or they refuse to believe you. They may think you’re merely trying to seek attention or that you’re just seeking an excuse from doing something they expected you to do.
