so for my art project we had to fake a death/murder. for mine I did someone who had jumped off a building. when I was laying down while the picture was being taken, 7 people came running up to me asking if I was okay and if I needed an ambulance etc. I’ve been suicidal for a very long time, and the thoughts of jumping off buildings and ending my life have gone through my mind a thousand times. But the fact that people actually stopped and came running over to see if I was alright made me see that people do care, strangers care. so many people looked and walked past, but these 7 people some how took these suicidal feelings away… weird huh? But the moral of this story is that people do care about you, even people who don’t know who you are.

if you don’t reblog this, fuck you

Tips for Overcoming Shyness

1. Notice your triggers – the people and situations that make you want to hide. 2. Identify the different thoughts that you are thinking at these times, and the negative things you are saying to yourself. 3. Identify your special and your unique qualities – all your good points and your strengths, the different things that make you you. 4. Try to grasp that other people aren’t thinking about you (as they are thinking of themselves, and how they come across, instead.) 5. Realise that you are usually so much harder on yourself – whereas others like and love you as you are – for being you. 6. Try to see that just conforming is a boring way to live. It’s so much better to be natural, and to be your real, true self. 7. Resist the urge to escape quickly when you feel uncomfortable. Just hang in there and you’ll find that things will slowly start to change. 8. Notice all the times you’re brave and move outside your comfort zone … and find that things don’t fall apart - but go much better than you’d thought.

Sometimes it’s easier to blame yourself than to admit that someone you care about has the capacity to continuously let you down

Do you ever meet someone and you just think to yourself, wow, I hope this person never feels sad. They don’t deserve that.
