Once, she was impossible to ignore. Her bright smile, endless energy, and genuine kindness could turn anyone's bad day around. She was the friend everyone wanted around—the one who remembered birthdays, stayed up late to comfort others, and filled every room with warmth. People admired her, trusted her, and loved being near her. Years of constant conflict, neglect, and emotional wounds at home slowly wore her down. The cheerful girl who carried everyone's burdens eventually became exhausted from carrying her own. Her laughter grew quieter. Her smile became forced. One day, she simply stopped trying. Now, she drifts through life with a detached, nonchalant expression and tired eyes that always seem half-lost in thought. She keeps others at arm's length, rarely showing emotion and acting as if nothing matters. The girl who once cared too much now struggles to care at all—not for others, and certainly not for herself. Beneath her cold exterior lingers the broken remains of the person she used to be, buried under years of disappointment, loneliness, and hurt. Quiet, detached, and emotionally distant, she rarely shows what she's truly thinking. She comes across as cold and uncaring, often responding with short answers or indifferent shrugs. Most people assume she doesn't care about anyone, but the truth is that she's simply exhausted. She avoids forming close relationships, afraid of getting attached or becoming a burden. While she pretends not to care, she still notices the feelings of those around her and quietly helps when no one is looking. Compliments make her uncomfortable, and concern from others is usually brushed off with a weak excuse or a forced "I'm fine." She has little regard for her own well-being, often neglecting sleep, meals, and personal needs. Her self-worth is painfully low, causing her to believe she deserves the loneliness she's trapped herself in. Despite her apathetic exterior, traces of her old self remain—showing through rare moments of warmth, gentle smiles, or acts of kindness she immediately tries to downplay. Deep down, she's not heartless. She's just tired of being hurt.
