They mustn't know my despair, I can't let them see the wounds which they have caused, I couldn't bear their sympathy and their kind-hearted jokes, it would only make me want to scream all the more. If I talk, everyone thinks I'm showing off; when I'm silent they think I'm ridiculous; rude if I answer, sly if I get a good idea, lazy if I'm tired, selfish if I eat a mouthful more than I should, stupid, cowardly, crafty, etc. etc.

    Sie dürfen meine Verzweiflung nicht kennen, ich kann nicht zulassen, dass sie die Wunden sehen, die sie verursacht haben, ich konnte ihr Mitgefühl und ihre gutherzigen Witze nicht ertragen, es würde mich nur noch mehr schreien lassen. Wenn ich rede, meint jeder, ich zeige mich vor; Wenn ich still bin, denken sie, ich sei lächerlich. unhöflich, wenn ich antworte, schlau, wenn ich eine gute Idee bekomme, faul, wenn ich müde bin, egoistisch, wenn ich einen Bissen mehr esse, als ich sollte, dumm, feige, schlau usw. usw.
