the end of the line

Jumping to conclusions and over-generalising are always unfair, but you cannot help wondering if something is not terribly amiss when you recurrently find people who rule out emotion and the disclosure of themselves to others - and, above all, to themselves - yielding to all sorts of repressive codes, neurotic behaviour, coldness, resentment, and a general contempt for others that barely conceals a deep self-hatred.

Heartbreaking, such emotional waste, such hopelessness, such lack of self-knowledge, such lack of everything.

(And how can you possibly insulate yourself from it all and move on with any semblance of normalcy...?)

I sometimes wish I could be more open, but am perhaps afraid of revealing my true identity.
