stumbled in here a couple of days ago after searching something stupid on google..."how to handle people who ignore you" (because yeah, i'm sick of being ignored by people)...and felt at home reading what i read in other peoples postings. i relate in so many ways, and it makes me feel like a piece of cra* sometimes when i see how my life is turning out. i know i shouldn't let what other people say about me, affect how i feel about myself, but it never fails, and it gets the best of me sometimes. 20 years ago, i never thought i would be where i am today, and finding this place, i dont feel so alone anymore. sad, huh? this is kinda like "group" except the anonymity in it. i've been dealing with a social phobia since i was 13. i'm in my 40's today. it really doesn't get any better, does it? i say that because, everyday is a never ending struggle. well, just wanted to say hello to everyone...
