How are you feeling?

I have a job interview today, but that's not what I'm nervous about. I'm more nervous about apologizing for something I did last night and getting how I feel across in a more calm way.

I'm really confused. I don't want to be a people-pleasing spineless doormat, but I don't want to be a bitch. It seems like there's a fine line between the two. You must always maintain a perfect balance or you'll be called out on it and people will complain about you. If you stray too slightly in either direction you're going to have a hard time. If you have the confidence, you just don't give a shit what people say about you and you move on and all is well in your world. If you're insecure, you either pretend to not give a s**t but then become paranoid when people pick up on your "don't give a s**t" attitude and talk about it and then you cave and apologize and feel bad about yourself, or you just skip directly to that step, and then people proceed to take advantage of your niceness once again. And then you beat yourself up for thinking in this sort of depth because people keep telling you that you think too much and that you're too sensitive. Sorry, I don't know how else to be! This is how I sort things out in my mind, I think I am literally unable to do it any other way.

Apparently I'm just all wrong inside and out and yes I lack confidence and it's off-putting but I'm tired of fighting it. I think I just... need to be alone for a while. I feel alone but I feel like I just keep pissing people off and giving off the wrong vibes.

Aye, ah can relate tae that! Sadly... :sad:

suicidal nothing left useless pointless existance

Sorry but... ah can actually relate. Ah know, ah know, that's effin' terrible tae hear, innit? :sad:

* Huv a Scots to English translation dictionary at hand. Am no kiddin', by-the-way... ↓↓↓

F**K! Ah don't know what's wrong wi' me, been in a right f**kin' mood, lately. Don't know why ah said that? Usually, in Scotland, if yer in a right a f**kin' mood, it means ye want tae shag somebody. That's just a wee risque joke fur youse aw tae laugh at. :bigsmile:
Hope ah can get away wi' that...?

Anyways... am still as nerotic, self-loathin' n' f**kin' dour faced as ever! Which isnae really sayin' much, especially when yer Scottish. Apparently am "too nice" - still...?! - which... does really dae me any favours. Ah mean, fair enough if ye want tae think that. Though, we might disagree on that... seriously!

Ah wish ah could be a bit mair like ma older sister - the middle child as she's also known - y'know, just f**kin' speak yer mind n' no gee a f**k what folk are gonnae think o' ye! Oh! An' it would be nice - speakin' fur masel' here - tae actually express an opinion withoot some f**ker or family member smurkin' n' laughin'. Just once! :kickingmyself: Ah guess ye could say am conflicted tae say the least!

Awright! Enough o' ma post psychotic twats disorder - or ma long, boring incoherent, "F**kin' hell! Does he really talk like that?!" :confused: rants. F**kety-Bye!

not actually Fiona Apple
Lately I've been fluctuating between "hey, yeah, yeah everything is good. things are going good and keep being good. Good things are ahead. Good, good, goody goodness good good....yeah, good" and "things have never been ok and they are only going to get worse, nothing is going to turn out ok, there's so much that won't work out and even more things I can't change. The purpose of living is beyond my devices at the moment, I don't know why to bother to go on." When I am not feeling one of these, I seem to find myself distracted doing things that occupy my mind.

Videogames are sucking up all of my time lately, have been going easy on myself in the gym stopping early so I can play more videogames.
I need to start hitting the gym harder and more often again.

Beside that I feel allright, trying not to get depressed and love myself for who I am.
I might not have any friends but atleast I got my dog to keep me company 24/7.
 
Do you think that a lot of criminals - petty or not - do these things because of a lack of love? Having been in that situation yourself, I reckon you'd have a better idea as to why these people do these things.

For some, yes. In my experience, looking back on things I did it was like I was mad at the situation and taking it out on the world. I thought there was something wrong with me for my father not to want anything to do with me. I grew up and learned better after meeting him even though we don't speak anymore.
 
I'm doing well, except for two things:

- I am feeling loneliness because of Fiona and due to not really having any friends to hang out with.

- I have to make a phone call or two and it's unnerving me! I think I might wait on that one. :bigsmile:

Despite them, I'm actually feeling good. :thumbup:

Did the feelings of loneliness go away? I hope so :)

Sick. If I had someone to take care of the cat, I'd go to the hospital.

I try so hard, but end up just praying to die. Loneliness. Sleeping doesn't help. Talking doesn't help. I still have to do it all alone. I don't know what to do.

Thanks, Graeme. A friend without power stopped over to blow-dry her hair (weird!) but I got a shoulder to cry on for a few minutes.

Feeling burnt out already and it's not even noon. It's mostly because I didn't sleep well last night. My cat kept me up and so did the dog. They just didn't want to go to bed. >_< Today I have a whole crapload of History notes to read. I'm already a quarter of the way through them, but I still have over 130 slides to go. I was hoping to get at least half of the questions done today too. I just need to keep on plowing through and see how far I get until I really can't stand it anymore. Thank god I only have 2 weeks of this left. I'm getting tired of reading about Communism China.

No great, but then, being there's nothin' great aboot mental illness. (Sigh!)

Ah just feel like ... naebody gives a f**k anymair! Ach! It's doesnae matter... ah've been sayin' that quite alot, lately. But then everytime ah try n' be serious or a wee bit assertive am just laughed at. The way ah look by which ah mean the fact ah rarely smile, the way ah talk - it's aw just one big hysterical laugh! Nae f**kin' wonder ah keep tae masel'! Tae be honest, it's probably fur the best. What little confidence ah huv in masel' is usually undermind since am usually wrong aboot half the stuff ah say. Or seem tae be... :kickingmyself: Well, it more of an inferiority complex than confidence.


Ah've actually be thinkin' - which fur me is f**kin' rare nowadays - aboot how things huv turn oot in ma life, retrospectively up tae this point. An' ah realised something - ah don't know if this is common wi' other folk who huv overprotective parents? But... they never really allow ye tae grow up, do they? Properly ah mean. Speakin' fur masel', of course. But then that's more interestin' than insightful.

Ah mean, ah might look mature (older than ma age n' aw that shite), but ah sure as f**k dinnae feel it!

Sorry, just huvin' a wee mental breakdoon coupled with a rant! :eek:mg:

I feel conflicted. I get the impression my boss was lazy because he didn't even bother to read emails at all and just wrote random stuff. Plus sometimes he scares me with really awkward questions that no sane, sober person would ask. I actually wanted to quit today but then he had to praise me for my work, so I feel kind of bad. I was actually very excited (and relieved) that we had a new applicant who could potentially replace me but then my boss said she can be my assistant. I'm screwed?!?

To clarify, I don't want to quit the organization entirely. I actually want another position with less responsibiities (and less contact with people). I guess I'm still trying to find my niche.

I'm not really sure how to feel anymore. Should i be content, or upset? Is my indifference a good or a bad thing? There's so much pain and misery in the world, and yet I can't solve my own problems. Is there or isn't there a point to any of this? I just don't know...
