Shutting You Out When You Only Wanted to Help

I was in a bad place yesterday, and instead of letting you in, I pushed you away with one-word answers and coldness. You were trying to understand what was wrong, trying to be there for me, and I responded by making you feel like a burden. That wasn't fair to you.

You deserved honesty, not silence. You deserved to know that I was struggling, not to be left guessing while I threw up walls. I know now that my rudeness didn't protect me—it only hurt someone who was genuinely trying to care.

I'm going to do better. Next time I'm having a hard time, I'll tell you that instead of shutting you out. You've always shown up for me, and you deserve to be met halfway. I'm sorry for making you feel unwanted when the truth is you were exactly what I needed.
