AGH!! F***, f***, f***ety f***! Why... am I constantly being made to feel like I'm a total f***in' freak, just because I'm NOT into sports? Is that so wrong?! Huh?! :confused: Sorry, I'm not a "proper" man. Aw, I had a feeling this day gonna be s***! ::(: (My meeting go well, if that wasn't obvious)
I don't see why you won't be a proper man if you're not into sports. How can an interest define a person? I'm sorry, the people who say this are being really stupid.

That's stupid, that sports are supposed to make a man. You're not a freak at all because of your preference. Ignore them...

::(: I hope you'll be okay.... Try take all of the energy you have from being upset to energy that may help you at your meet.

Good luck. I hope you can kill it. (Not literally)

Dont worry man... I am not into sports either. In my country everyone seems to think Rugby is just the greatest thing ever. Quite frankly I really just dont give a crap.
People look at me as if I am not a "man" either - oh and I dont drink really either - further emasculating myself.
So I kind of know how you feel. Bastards. The lot of em.

Apparently I am a freak for not liking sports and for shopping during the World Cup. Actually, I think it's nice not to follow the rest of the sheep. And to me, you are great!

I used to sleepwalk when I was a kid. One night, when I was around 11-12, I had a nightmare about werewolves coming into the house through the windows. I remember waking up and I was standing in front of an open window in my room. Kinda freaked me out a bit, lol.

I thought you were going to say that you woke up and saw a wolf in your house!

Don't take this the wrong way, Srijita, but to answer your question: But f*** knows how can an interest define a person. By society's "standards", it seems to matter. Doesn't it?Must be the same, can't standout from the crowd. The herd mentality.

I know... but I think that's more to do the whole "lad culture", especially here in Britain. And it's hard to ignore when you're reminded about it all the bloody time. Especially when you're family make you aware of it too. Irritating beyond belief. "Why don't you like...?" Aw, here we go.... Must justify my interests. :rolleyes:

I don't drink either. Well... not much. More of a "reclusive" drinker. :D Never been one for going out, getting drunk, and waking up the following morning hungover. But, yeah, I feel the same way, Kia.

Aw... ::eek:: Thank you. Glad to know I'm not the only one. Oh, thank f*** for that! Anyway, thanks for the replies everyone.

Don't want to go to work.

It started off okay, but I'm starting to feel like I've been ousted from the social circle for the most part. A couple coworkers talk to me occasionally, but they aren't playful and talkative with me like they are with each other.

Yesterday I had another incident where a coworker got mad at me, again for something I didn't do on purpose - no one was clear with me what the closing procedure was, and I didn't sweep/mop the floor right away (which apparently should be done first because it takes up a lot of time), which made my coworker angry and she started doing it - slamming chairs on tables loudly, sweeping the floor quickly with an attitude. I wasn't sure how to respond but I just kept calm and asked her if she wanted me to mop, and she said, "Yup." I don't get it. I didn't purposely shirk responsibility, but sometimes no one is clear on what is going on and I get confused easily.

Also - and this is something probably mostly in my own mind, but that doesn't make it any less distressing - the fact that I look so young, especially with my hair back in a hat and unflattering clothes, just makes me feel even more stupid/inadequate. I can't tell if it's in my head or not, but I swear many of my coworkers look at me like I'm pathetic, they sense the social awkwardness and don't want to associate with it, but use it to their advantage when they want to push me around.

I don't think I can take much more of that, if it continues I will have no choice but to quit ::(: I feel really bad most of the time as it is, it would be nice if I could feel I belonged at work, and was treated with respect, but I feel like I'm in high school again. I can't take it. The familiar feeling of being somewhat of an outcast and looked down upon is too much to bear.

I don't know what to do from here. I feel so miserable. Want to stay under my covers and never get up ever again...

Feeling a little better than I have been the past few days. My dad agreed to babysit my son tomorrow, so, at the very least, I can start school. :) I was confused about my parents' availability, because I had originally texted my dad asking him to watch my son tomorrow, but received a text saying that was not possible because of babysitting my niece and nephew at the same time (in another city). It turns out, it was my mom texting from my dad's phone.

I'm not a tea drinker, but I've cut down on the caffeine quite a bit. That part about room/body temperature is interesting. My room is in the basement and two of the walls are concrete, so you'd think it would be fairly cool in here. But it's not. I have to have a fan on when I sleep because I need white noise, and I always have it pointed in my direction. I'd rather be cold than hot. But lately I've had to put the fan smack dab in front of my face. I think the change in temperature is definitely effecting my sleep. This is why I hate summer! ;)

I read for over an hour tonight and that made me tired. So I went with the flow and went to bed at 8pm. That bedtime doesn't exactly put me in with the cool kids, but I'll try anything at this point. I seem to have my mother's sleeping habits. My dad can get 5 or 6 hours of sleep and function perfectly. My mom and I can't. She usually goes to sleep around 8 or 9 (sometimes even earlier), gets up during the middle of the night for an hour or so to smoke and watch TV, goes back to bed, and wakes at 5 or 6. That seems to be the cycle that I am inheriting. I woke up at 12:30am today and I'll probably be up for a couple of hours before trying to go back to bed.

Alright. Enough about me.
^ I hear ya. I'm quite the sleeper too. I usually can't function too well with 5 hours of sleep, I always need 8+ hours. Usually 10 hours does wonders for me, but very rarely do I get that much.

Not sure what else you can do about the temp. It's hard in the summer. I've had my heater on and off constantly this week and it's driving me nuts. One day it's 80 degrees and hot, and since I don't have a fan nor a/c, I try to keep my window shut. Thankfully I'm pretty shaded with trees and I get a small cold draft in my room, so that keeps the temp. down. It's during the nights and the past couple days I've had to turn my heater on because it's gotten so cold in my room. Living in NY, you don't change between winter/summer wardrobes. At least I don't. I keep everything year round. Stupid, stupid weather.

Anyway, I say keep up with the reading. Sounds like it's going well. Even if you're waking up for an hour, as long as you're getting sleep you're good.


I'd tell you to think nothing of it because this dude sounds like a dick, but I know that is easier said than done. Teachers are there to teach. Of course that is going to mean that they may quiz you at times. That's fine. But some teachers seem to get some kind of smug satisfaction out of watching their students squirm and feel uncomfortable. If you want to, try calling him out on it next time. Tell him you don't know the answer because he hasn't taught you well enough. Tell him that you are going to add him to the ever growing list of people who have singled you out because of your height. Or if it really bothered you, go above his head to a superior. Don't take his crap just because he is a teacher. That doesn't give him the right to make you feel inferior. That's just my $0.02.
^ Thankfully that was the first and last time I had to put up with him. I don't want to take that course again, so I'll make sure I get my license within a year.

Its good that you don't have to deal with him again. Good luck with your course. :)
^ Thank you. :)


I'm feeling tired and slightly nervous. I didn't sleep well at all last night. Went to bed at 1am, but kept falling in and out of sleep for 2 hours before I was woken up by my dog. She wanted out, as well as our old dog, so I let them out. Wasn't a half hour later they wanted back in. :rolleyes: Tried going back to sleep and it was too hot. I yanked open the window and within an hour I was too cold. I was pretty much up every hour. Even when I went to bed, my anxiety from that course kept me up.

In about an hour now I have to go to a family get-together thing. Didn't mention this the other day, but a first cousin died a few days ago. I wasn't close to her, and didn't exactly know her, but I met her a few times. There isn't a funeral, as she never wanted one, so the family is just doing this get-together thing at a relative's house nearby. It's small, as that side of the family wasn't too big, but there's still going to be all these people there I don't know. I had a choice, but my mom wanted me to go. I will, just to pay my respects. I really think she just wanted me to get out more though and see people. I guess I don't blame her, I cut myself off from too many people sometimes and am too stand-offish. It's not that I don't care, it's just being afraid to get too close to anyone and just being nervous.

I know how you feel, good luck with the get together. I'm also sorry about your cousin.

I'm glad your dad agreed to babysit.
