The Ultimate Psychological Torment

Imagine the torment of a life where being your true self could cost you everything, even your life. Every day is a performance, every word and action carefully curated to ensure survival. Now, add to that the irony of living in luxury, surrounded by friends who have the freedom to be genuine, while you remain trapped in a cage of pretense. The contrast would be unbearable—a constant reminder of the freedom you’re denied, making the very things that should bring joy feel like salt in a wound. True torture isn’t just the absence of freedom; it’s living amidst it and knowing it’s out of reach.
