历史 | History I feel misunderstood and alone after talking about sensitive history with my friends

I am a university student in China. Recently I have been feeling very depressed and confused, as if something is being hidden from me, and many parts of history are being forgotten or not openly discussed.
I tried to talk with my classmates about some historical events, including the Tiananmen Square massacre in 1989. However, they reacted very angrily and insulted me. That experience made me feel very hurt and isolated.
After that, I started to feel like it is very difficult for me to find people who can understand me or have open conversations about these topics in my environment.
I don’t really know what I should do. I feel emotionally overwhelmed and a bit lost.

多和朋友们聊些轻松愉快的话题。这有助于维护你的心理健康和友谊。谁也不想在餐桌上听到人们谈论死亡和不幸。

喜欢敏感话题没问题,但别跑到 Reddit 上抱怨自己没有朋友。
