"You're hurting yourself by stressing out too much!"
You think you know what you may be saying,
But you are completely and unutterably wrong.      
You took a class or two of psychology and believe that you are an expert on MY stress.
That is where you're wrong again.
My dear, I was born a stressful child,  I inherited my parents genes who did nothing but stress their entire lives. And as I grew up, they stressed me even more, hoping to someday build the "perfect" obedient child. So what do you want me to do? To erase every bit of worry that I have ever come upon. I'm sorry but I cannot. Maybe it"s because I care so much about the things and people that will never matter. Maybe I shouldn't talk about my problems, it seems better for both me, for you, and for everyone else who listens. Or maybe I should begin bottling it deep inside me again, I was doing pretty well with that procedure. Why should I tell you all my worries and everything that goes on in my life? I thought I ibhad a good reason, but I guess that doesn't really matter anymore. I hurt you with my worries, and I hurt you with my pain. If I shut it off, then you will be better off as well. Yes my love, I am stubborn and no it is not your fault. I don't need to "vent" about anything am I right? After all, I am made of titanium.
