My family, yes, the way I described about being emotionless etc, is how I act around them, that's the way I have grown up around them. They don't know who I am at all. Only one friend sees me and even then it's not complete. You gotta realise, they were poison to my own identity, they don't see it and don't understand it. I don't want them to know me either, because that boat has sailed- getting on with my life, don't really need them. I'm not a family person, lol. I don't feel like I rely on them emotionally. I will protect them, be there if they need me and all that stuff.
Not to sound big headed but I know I am, what you say. I have that capacity to make others, you, happy because of who I am, what I can do, what I will do, the choices I make and so on. But I am this person who you know now, not because of them- but in spite of them. I am not who you know now, because of happiness, it's through pain. If you know what I mean. So everything I don't want to be is that person I am around them, everything I aspire to be is grown away from them. So no, they don't really need to see me and I don't want to because they are poison.
