Perhaps you would like to look old for your age? One day when I was doing work experience in a commercial kitchen one of the cooks said he thought I looked 21 at the time I wasn't even 16. For me looking older than my years is just another curse.

No offense, but I've heard that one before. And while I understand looking older isn't all that great either, that doesn't automatically make looking younger a good thing. They are two extremes on a spectrum. Perhaps... looking one's age is best? Or looking only slightly younger? I look VERY young for my age. I'm 23 and I look 17 on a good day, apparently, and 14, at the youngest. That = less respect and often missing out on dating people your own age because they aren't aware you're not a minor.

I used to look very young untill 2-3 years ago (now not so much, because of health issues.. I guess I still look young but just more tired...lol)
Up untill I was 30, all elder ladies I met would ask me things like if I was still in high school or if I had turned 18 already.

Aye, same here, darlin'. :sad: Though, ma trust issues kinda get in the way uh huvin' friends. Plus naebuddy seems tae get ma f**ked-up, surreal sense uh humour - except me n' some o' you on here. Which is bewilderin'.

Eh, still no' feelin' a hundred percent. Feelin' a bit dizzy n' off balance. Ah'll be awright eventually.

Aside from that, the usual family bickerin' n' arguin'. Annoyin' me as per... But then ah find yer best defence against arguments is tae shut yer buckin' gob. :kickingmyself: Huv ye ever wantin' tae just yell yer family fur bein' ungrateful, inconsiderate ...unts?

I'm sorry, Srijita. You were feeling pretty good a few hours before you posted this. It's a fickle business, emotions.

Thanks guys, I wish I knew you guys in real life than the people I know. And Graeme I'd loved your sense of humour.

How to deal with passive-aggressive people. Not sure how. You try to say anything about it and it makes you look like the bad-guy. Perhaps I am the bad-guy.

Hie yer hence from me heath!
Um ah an awfy person? That's "Am I an awful person?" in yer standard, grammatically correct English. :thinking: Ma social interaction n' ma honest, blunt, deadpan, matter uh fact manner uh speakin' seems tae conclude that am either an irritatin' wee prrrick wi' a short temper - or a total wank. No' exactly likeable.

Also, ah hate when ma family make automatic assumption aboot me - as well as force their idea upon me. Think they know me better than ah know maself - which they apparently do. But me, being the one "in accordance with wisdom" - aka "The Sensible One", tae give youse the shortened definition - just nod quiet, say "Aye. Uh huh". Tae give the impression that ah agree wi' what bein' said, but not really. And maintain the illusion that am actually payin' attention. And tae stop masel' fae exclaimin' "Aw, f**k off, ya c-word!" in rather aggressive unpleasant manner. Which isnae very, is it? :no: :idontknow: Och! Ah don't know. Mibbe ah'd be better bein' like everybuddy, eh? That seems like a plan. Y'know... Loud. Irritatin' - (Oh wait, hawd on, ah've got that covered). Not over-thinkin' much. Inconsiderate. Openin' ma mooth tae speak withoot so much as a 2nd thought. Basically, jist the opposite uh what ah am currently.

I was over on another anxiety site. Gee, some of the posters are miserable. I thought I was miserable and out of hope, but after visiting there, I feel more like Julie Andrews singing the "Hills are alive with the sound music. ".

In fact my positivity is sickening isn't it?

There's a girl that works at the fruit shop in Shellharbour, and today I saw her and, after about 30 seconds of chit-chat, told her I thought she was attractive. She smiled and said thank you. I wanted to ask her out but the opportunity was gone by that point. She won't forget me now and hopefully I'll have the guts to do it next time. To that end I feel a bit anxious but relieved I finally did this after a couple of weeks of stalling.

Gutsy mate, as scary as walking on a trapeze with no net, I suspect. A good chat with someone nice that'd feel fantastic.

Freaked out. Scared, anxious, guilty. Really anxious. Anticipating the worst. Wanna weld the door shut and tear out the phone and never go near Facebook again. Wanna crawl into bed and sleep 'til I die. Wanna take a knife to my face. Wanna hide 'til it all goes away.
