We don’t know what others think 

of us. 

We have no clue how they 

perceive us. 

So all that we are left 

to do is assume. 

We assume that if they don’t respond 

immediately then they don’t like us 

enough. 

We assume they don’t 

want to be in our presence. 

Do we have proof? 

Most times, we don’t.

So we can’t 

tell if we are projecting what we feel 

on the inside, to others. 

Or perhaps we’ve been alone for so long 

that it’s what feels familiar.
