So true

I don't see how that has anything to do with what I drew.

You must not have all that great of friends then, cause my friends have always been there to listen if I needed them.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Sometimes, you do need to be selfish and care for yourself once in a while. It's only when you never, ever care about others that it's a bad thing.

I find that slightly offensive (in a general sense, not on a personal level), because I know people, myself included, who always put others before themselves. :I

"Those who help others are often the ones who need it the most."

This!

same O.o thats a pretty depressing view on life there....

but more on the topic, beautiful picture ^.^ your character is way to adorable :3

I know how you feel here, hide your emotions to comfort those around you and even those who want and even could help you..

oxo I've been moody, and such, but other than that, I've been better than I've been, in a very long time.

Even though it is supposed to be hiding emotions and the like.. well.. gosh she is soooo darn cute ><

Yeah, I know the feeling.
Usually I just try to be there for me friends and all, looking out for them.
But when it comes down to my own feelings, I usually try and shove them into a dark corner of my soul. Not showing on the outside how I really feel inside.

So yeah, it feels good sometimes when people are asking nevertheless. It helps a lot.

That's why it's good to have at least one person there to listen to your problems, even if it's just switching off who's the listener from time to time.

Extremely hard when you have no one to go to yourself...

Very good art work...=^_^=

it depends on how you lie to yourself... me I memorized a song. Cradle of Filth's No Time To Cry particularly this line.

"Everything will be alright, Everything will turn out fine
Some nights I still cant sleep... But the voices pass with time and I keep.
Everything will be alright, Everything will turn out fine
Some nights I still cant sleep... But the voices pass with time and I keep no time to cry."

Oh just crap...

How ironic, that was me like 2 days ago.... *flattens ears* ok, still me even now.

one of the few natural selfless every day actions we all kinda have pre programmed in us i guess ^.^ love that face :P

Yes, it is tough to keep up the image that everything's fine while helping others. :/

"Eh I'm doing Alright, I stayed up til 5AM Saturday and Stayed up til 6AM Sunday.

Saturday I finished watching "Dog Days"

Sunday I finished watching "To Love-Ru"

A very accurate observation, which is both sad and sweet, depending on how you look at it I suppose. Nice that people can focus on helping others before themselves, but a little sad too, thinking about how some folks I know keep things bottled up.

Still, such musings aside, gorgeous artwork, especially the flow of the hair, and her expression makes her so very approachable, you -want- to be friends with her with that look :)

Looks awesome and cute.

I know what you mean I do that all the time for my friends so they can me happy

That's when someone needs to pounce you on to a bed give you a good tight snuggle.

You're so good at capturing the whole shy, but friendly, smiley body language.

I know that feeling quite well gotta admit :0 Putting other peoples needs before your own almost exclusively x_x Regardless of how much you need some help yourself

I know this feeling very well... I do this for my girlfriend (well everyone but that's beside the point) because of how rough her life is... I complain from time to time about things, but I don't tell her the majority of what I'm thinking because she doesn't need that kind of stress...

wow that's toally me most day when I'm having a crappy day... or when I just feel like crying yea... but I'm usually the one who listens to others!

hah....tis is how i been feelin this whole year....

i'm good, thank you fir asking *smiles and snuggles because i feel good* :3

I relate to this well :3 Generally, I'm alright with it, but I would very much like someone I can talk freely with, with whom I can feel welcome to do so. It tends to... erode, degrade... how I feel, myself. I'm really not sure what to say about that. :/ Usually, I'm fine, I say. Don't need to worry about me. I bottle it up efficiently.

I'll feel better if I can get a hug.

Perhaps people become like that because they were discouraged from expressing their needs early on.
I can certainly sympathize. A lot of parents have no idea the damage they do to the future.

You know what that is, is codependence.
