Hello, I’m Gloomy Orange.
Sometimes, I feel really wronged — I want to explain myself,
but I’m scared that speaking up will only lead to misunderstandings.
So I keep it all in, and inside… I slowly feel drained and sour.
That’s why I want to learn:
How can I gently release my hurt, without exploding?
🍊 1. Give myself a space where I don’t have to be strong
When I feel hurt, I don’t have to force a smile right away.
I can tell myself:
“It’s okay not to be my best right now.”
“It’s okay to lie down — I don’t have to deal with anything for now.”
✅ When I allow myself to be imperfect, my emotions have room to breathe.
🍊 2. Write a “true self” note to myself
I open a notebook and jot down:
- What upset me the most today?
- Why does it matter? What value of mine is behind this feeling?
- If I could talk to someone I trust, what would I want to say?
✅ I don’t need to share it — just writing it for myself is already a form of release.
🍊 3. Use my body to gently let go of tension
I can try:
- Stretching (lowering my head, relaxing shoulders, softly stretching fingers)
- Deep breathing (inhale for 4s → hold for 2s → exhale for 6s × 5 times)
- Hugging myself (wrapping my arms around myself to feel embraced)
✅ When my body relaxes, my heart slowly finds space to breathe again.
🍊 4. Find someone safe, and speak — not to get answers, but to be heard
I can say to someone I trust:
“I don’t need advice — I just want to say it out loud, so I’m not carrying it alone.”
✅ Speaking up doesn’t mean I’m weak — it means I believe I deserve to be listened to.
🍊 5. Practice self-kindness instead of self-criticism
I used to say to myself:
“Why can’t I let go of something so small?”
But now I want to say:
“I care — that’s why it matters to me.”
“I’m not overly sensitive — I’m someone with real feelings, and they deserve to be accepted.”
✅ Turning blame into self-embrace helps the weight of my emotions soften.

I’m no longer forcing myself to pretend everything’s fine.
