I've gotten better at it lately.

I understand but I do enjoy and appreciate your presence here. I kind of wish there were at least more people here regularly like it used to be. It seemed like a better place to turn to back then just because there were more people sharing their experiences.

I've been wondering about that lately. Some time ago, I moved thousands of miles away to an island. When I moved, everybody was excited, telling me how they couldn't wait to visit. Well, years passed and they never did. I got a lot of, "One of these days we're going to make it out there to...

He has a tendency to blurt out rude comments. I think some people like that are admired. They're applauded for saying exactly what they'e thinking, I guess. It's not welcomed in our office as we're all respectful of each other. Once, he decided he didn't like a particular piece of furniture...

I think most of us can kiss a girl within 5 seconds. It's those darned slaps, punches, kicks to the groin, sexual harassment lawsuits, boyfriends and arrests that present problems.

I'm very familiar with that reaction. It used to perplex me that people would actually be offended just because I like doing my own thing. Also, I seem to have developed this "maddening habit" of following my own path where it comes to decisions that affect my life even after I've been given...

I feel like I'm rolling with the punches. Everyday isn't easy but I feel like I've been doing a good job of taking the bad with the good without letting the losses go to my heart or the wins go to my head. This is actually a major step for me.

So, the one person at work who was creating bad vibes in an otherwise very pleasant office personally came to me to let me know he was quitting. He knows I avoid him and I guess it was noticeable how comfortable I was with everyone else (I'm not the only person in the company who kind of avoids...

I moved out when I was 19. Moved back in at around 21. Realized living at home when I was in my 20's was much less ideal than when I was a kid so I moved back out within a year and haven't looked back since.

Thanks Miserum. Good advice! Also, with all the cameras stores have nowadays, it would probably be easy to prove I walked in with the article if it came down to it. It's just thinking of the scenario and the people who would probably be watching if I were confronted that way that I can't...

Magnesium helps, it really does. This week, I encountered things that would normally trigger my anxiety such as certain behaviors from my co-workers. I just took them with a grain of salt and kept it moving. It's been a good week.

I'm afraid to go back into stores with things I bought from them, especially clothes. It's never happened to me but I have this nightmarish scenario of being accused of stealing the item and, since I no longer have a receipt, being unable to prove otherwise. I've read stories of this happening...

I try hard to remain positive, to remember things aren't usually as bad as they seem. What I'd like to know is, what's controlling the part of my mind that wants to constantly review every bad mistake, every embarrassing thing I've ever done in my life!

5/10. It can be higher but I've gotten into the habit of reminding myself that I'm overreacting and things aren't as bad as they seem in my head.

I'm a homebody. Not that I never venture out, it's just that I can find most things I enjoy right at home so for me, there's no real need.

No, but I sometimes find myself accused of being jealous when I react to being treated unfairly. The thing is, I think they know I'm not jealous but accusing me (making me the bad guy) is their way of justifying their actions.

I like wolves so I'd like to be a wolf. But I know I'd end up being a lone wolf just like I am as a human.

Hi Keara. Sorry to hear you are having a difficult time but glad you chose SPW as a place to connect to someone who can help. I hope you find the support you need. I'll be listening.

It's early Saturday (where I am) of a three day weekend. I'm feeling full of optimism and potential. Now let's see how many things I had planned will get done.

The Beatles - We Can Work It Out in my pants.
