How Would You Most Want People To Support You?

Not even this place?

I don't think I want support in the be there for me and listen to my problems sense because I never tell people things. Family, friends, nobody. If something is bothering me you just won't see or hear from me until it has passed.

So the thing I would most like from people and this sounds completely asshol-ish of me is this: Take what you get. If I don't call you back for a week, get over it. I called you back. I'm not sitting here talking to everybody else in the world and intentionally ignoring you. I'm here trying to live my own life and sometimes it gets pretty damn hard. It's all I can do.

If I don't share my inner most secrets get over it. You're not entitled to them same as I'm not entitled to yours. They're mine.

This all probably falls under "gimme space dammit" but I know it's unfair because for the most part they have no idea what's going on with me when/if it is.

Edit: No, thinking more about it, this all fits more into the category of "don't make it about you." Even people I do talk to will say dumb crap like "In my day we had no choice but to suck it up" or "I solve all of my problems by thinking about them" meaning what, you're smarter than me? That's helpful.

I need a hug when I'm feeling triggered. Many times that is all it takes for me to come back to reality. I also want people to take my symptoms seriously but not think that I am weird or anything because I'm having symptoms.
