She’s not quiet because she’s fine.
She’s quiet because she’s tired… tired of explaining pain no one understands.
At some point, words just stop working. You get exhausted from trying to make people see what’s really going on behind your smile. You get tired of saying, “I’m okay” when you’re not… but even more tired of explaining why you’re not. So you just go silent.
Because every time she tried to open up, she was met with “you’re too sensitive” or “it’s not that deep.” Every time she tried to express how broken she felt, someone made her feel dramatic, ungrateful, or weak. So she stopped sharing. Not because the pain went away… but because being misunderstood started to hurt even more than staying silent.
She carries a heart full of emotions no one notices. She laughs, she shows up, she gets things done… and no one sees the battle inside her. No one sees how hard it is to hold it all together. No one sees how many nights she cried quietly into her pillow, or how many mornings she woke up feeling empty but still kept going like everything was fine.
She’s quiet because explaining would require her to relive it. And she’s already exhausted from surviving it.
So now, she keeps it all in. Not because she wants to, but because she’s learned that not everyone deserves access to her pain. She’s learned that some people only listen to respond, not to understand. And honestly? She’s learned that her peace matters more than being heard by people who never really cared in the first place.
So the next time you see a woman being quiet… don’t assume she’s fine.
She might be at war with a thousand things in her mind…
And silence might be the only thing holding her together.
