Keeping it in yourself, you make yourself believe that you are doing it to "protect" her, telling yourself, don't do what the other person did, that person who mocked you in front of all of her friends.

Painful, it is, but is this really your intentions? Hypocritical, indeed, you're just one of them, putting up a mask trying to make yourself look good.

But in fact, all you wanted is the impression that you're protecting her, making yourself feel great, thinking that you yourself is awesome.

Stop beautifying your actions with reasons, straying away from your actual selfish intentions.

So what if it hurts you, you fucking hypocrite.
