I don't tell people I am dying.

They look at you with pity..

I hate that.

Really hate it. Even with my insights of this chess game. I avoid unnecessary pain. I still find all pain difficult. But being pitied is the worst. I would rather be disliked..

So sometimes I will just test. Myself others I know or a stranger. It's interesting how it plays out. Even if it's pure rejection.

This concept used to confuse me, and I thought I was a masochist. I mean I am a masochist, but now I see the difference between beneficial suffering and useless piling on. Learning to suffer well when you're a masochist is like learning to eat when you're anorexic.
