When you share with people, be mindful they will project their own issues, ideologies and traumas on you.
This is worth considering before you choose whom to trust your personal information with.

"But you seem fine"
One of the most hurtful and insulting things I had ever heard was when people didn't believe I wasn't feeling well "because I didn't show it."
To assume that one will allow themselves to be vulnerable and "seem weak" in front of you is not only inconsiderate, but also ignorant.
Us who have been suffering for long know exactly how to hide our pain. And to doubt that pain merely because you can't see it is egotistical to say the least.

One's reality is another's nightmare
Some of us have never experienced life without mental illness.
To only get to know the world and reality through the prism of mental illness is debilitating, painful and traumatising.
And to try to explain that to someone who has never suffered from mental illness is near to impossible.
