I feel so down and depressed. Its strange il be really content and happy and then it takes one little thing,always one little thing and then a feeling of depression washes over me.

I'm stressed because I have so much to do, but it's so overwhelming that I'm completely avoiding doing any of it! Argh! I can't wait til this week is over. :) On that note, I'm going to go get some stuff done...

Waiting in line to buy the last of my xmas shopping. Smiled at the person in front of me. She looked at me up and down...rolled her eyes, kind of chuckled and then turned her back at me.... (and no I wasnt flirting.. I was just trying to be friendly)

This is the reason I have social phobia. This kind of non verbal rejection happens to me a lot....and I have no idea why. I am a nice person...but people just seem to be disgusted with me.

I HATE it when people roll their eyes at me.

Is it possible that you're reading it as disgust when it's not actually there? Do you expect it?

I would hate for you to take this as trivialising your experience, but I've found almost anybody will smile back if you smile at them, and if they don't, it's probably because they're sunk in a bad mood that has nothing to do with you.

No you are not trivializing it, but I dont think anyone really knows what I mean when I try to explain it. I swear I am not making this stuff up... in an effort to understand why, I come to all sorts of crazy conclusions.. There is just something about me... I dont know what.

Perhaps I will make a thread about it because it really brings me down.

I am glad you are feeling better :)

It's just that I've met you, and I really haven't seen anything that people would react badly to.

(And thank you.)

Yep, I know that feeling, too. Sorry to hear it's happened to you, mate.

That seems abnormally hostile. Are you sure she was "disgusted" with you? I've seen your photos and this kind of thing simply doesn't make sense.

Yeah, me and a friend just went to the local Woolworths and it was hectic. The car park was atrocious.

I'm alright. I have a few stresses that are constantly on my mind and they're getting me down, though. I did spend a few hours with a mate so that was okay, even though it didn't make me fully content.

Quietly sad. But okay.

Hope you're okay and not just "saying" you're okay.

Dont worry I kind of know what you mean.I find when im in public people give me dirty looks all the time when I attempt to be friendly. It happens mostly with girls at school. Il walk through the halls and il glance over and catch eyes with an attractive girl and il wear not a full on smile but a friendly look, and all I ever get back is an unsettling blank expression. Or its happened a few times where theyve given me a big sarcastic smile, the kind that just screams you cant touch this,idiot.

That would drive me up the wall. I'm glad my bosses are not always on site and I am free to do my own thing.
