How are you feeling?

Hie yer hence from me heath!
Really dreading having to sit at the dinner table for Christmas dinner this year because my oldest sister's new boyfriend is coming over apparently. I've no even met him - and I've absolutely nae interest in doing so, if I'm brutally honest.
 
Relieved, because I finally got myself a part-time job. :) But also bored because until I start, I have absolutely nothing to do in the coming week.

Congrats! :) I'm hoping to get one soon. I doubt I'd get anything right now, but maybe a couple weeks into the new year some jobs will start popping up.

I decided to give going out to the mall a try, as it's been a long time since my last visit. It didn't go too well for me. I was still super self conscious and i felt really depressed that such an ugly freak like me, is better off hiding at home. negative thoughts that not one female would be interested in a old looking fool like myself, hurt quite a bit.

One woman was staring at me, or should I say I noticed one woman staring at me. i'm sure there were plenty staring at me today. :rolleyes: it made me feel really depressed. ::(:

i wish there was someone in my life to give me a much needed hug.

Would you feel comfortable not talking but making eye contact and smiling at a girl?

I know it's hard to fight past those thoughts, but from what I know, if you shower and clean yourself, you're way more attractive than you think. And I know it's hard to fathom sometimes, but if you tell yourself that you're ugly and unattractive and that no one wants to talk to you, you will be an unattractive person who no one wants to talk to. If you tell yourself that you're attractive and a fun person to be around, you will be an attractive person who is fun to be around.

It's hard sometimes, but you have to treat yourself with just as much respect as you would treat someone else. You would never go up to someone else and say they're old and ugly, right? You can't say that to yourself either.

I shower and clean myself obsessively at times. It hasn't really changed the way I feel though. ::(: Even making eye contact and smiling is too hard for me, so I have to say no, nothing I do is really something I'm comfortable with. Yes, i never really thought of it that way. I guess i have to change the way I approach myself. Thank you for the response :)

*Hug*

Wow-I hate the mall with a passion. ::(: But if you do have to go then my advice, people-watch. Like watching a wild-life documentary but with humans haha. Park yourself on a quiet bench if possible and even bring a book. It's a good way to get comfortable in public and as long as you don't stare at anyone for too long of course then you will see everyone is the same, you're not old or ugly or a fool just a socially anxious person who needs practice being in public. Don't be so hard on yourself. ;) recognize that your thoughts are negative and not helping and replace with affirming ones immediately. I sometimes picture negative thoughts like evil entities that I am slaying with my mind, smashing to pieces. Death to self doubt.

Congratulations, Phoenixx:D!

....So, are they glazed? ....Can I have some? Please? PLEASE:rolleyes:?! And what's the new recipe you were working on?
^ Not yet. I'm going to glaze them tomorrow because I'm giving some of them to a friend for part of her gift, and that's when I see her. I'll save you one though! :) They're chocolate-orange flavored donuts. I wanted to do mint chocolate, but I didn't have any mint or peppermint oil or anything.... And now that I'm thinking about it, I could've used peppermint tea for the liquid! Duh! >.< I'll try that next time, I think.

The new recipe was a gluten free sugar cookie one I was making. I'm not sure if I want to share it or keep it a secret. ;) Since the original recipe I based it off from is a secret family recipe.

Hmmm, I guess I feel content, for the most part. Still feel a bit sleepy despite sleeping in until around noon, but other than that, I'm fine.

Ah, thanks for that! That's twice you've helped me, you know, and I always repay my debts. So, what would like for me to do? You can have anything (within certain boundaries) you want, just ask:rolleyes:.

A lady is entitled to her secrets, don't you think;)? On the opposite side though, is there are no secrets between friends. So, which answer will you reject and which will you heed?

^ Oh, I don't need anything in return. Thanks anyway though.

My lips are still sealed! I think they will remain that way.

I feel...jealous. My sister is now home for christmas and ive been doing my best to stay away to minimalize conflict. My sister was always popular so now that shes home her phone rings off the hook with thousands of friends calling her. So now shes hanging out with all her friends and going to get togethers and stuff and im sitting in my room alone. Im sad and jealous now.

Two more strong earthquakes today in Christchurch. These people have been suffering for a while now. While not as devastating as the the last major one, its still bad. The people who live there are beginning to get fed up, but they have no where to go.

:(
