Hello, I’m Gloomy Orange.
I might not always smile when I talk to you.
Sometimes, my voice is soft, and I avoid eye contact —
not because I don’t want to talk,
but because…
I’m afraid that if I speak, you won’t understand — and that’ll hurt even more.
🍊 1. I hope you don’t just hear my words — but also feel what’s behind them
Sometimes I talk about tiny things, like:
“I said something today, and they kind of ignored me…”
You might think: “Huh? That’s such a small thing to care about.”
But for me, being ignored or misunderstood makes me feel unimportant.
✅ If you could say:
“Sounds like that really hurt… do you want to tell me more?”
I’d slowly feel safe enough to share what I really want to say.
🍊 2. When I seem withdrawn, please don’t push me to talk
If I go quiet or shrink back,
please don’t pressure me with: “Just say it! Come on, tell me!”
Instead, you could gently say:
“It’s okay if you don’t feel like talking — I’m here.
When you’re ready, I’ll be ready too.”
✅ With no pressure, I’ll slowly feel brave enough to open up.
🍊 3. When I finally share my hurt, don’t jump straight to “cheering me up”
I know you want to comfort me. But if I say:
“I feel so wronged…”
Please don’t reply with: “Forget it — just be happy!”
Instead, try saying:
“Hearing that makes my heart ache a bit too — that must feel awful.”
✅ When my feelings are validated, I find my own strength to heal.
🍊 4. Sometimes, all I need is someone quietly by my side
You don’t have to fix everything.
Just sit beside me.
Give me a look of care, a gentle pat on the shoulder,
or walk with me in silence for a while —
and I’ll feel that,
even when I’m not strong today, I’m not alone.

“I’m not trying to be a burden — I just want someone to understand that I’m not weak, I’m just deeply affected because I care.”
“When you don’t rush to fix me but walk with me through the emotions, I feel truly cherished.”
“When I speak, I’m not asking you to fix everything — I just want someone to quietly, sincerely listen.”

I might be a little slow to warm up, a bit sensitive, a bit afraid of being misunderstood.
But if you’re willing to give me a warm space,
you’ll see — I can become truly brave, because someone is walking with me. 🍊🐷💛
