the thing about letting someone know how much you care is that you are also giving them permission to take you for granted. they'd use you as an emotional sponge at their convenience without giving any regard to your emotional state, and when you do not hold up to your supposed use, they'd just cast you aside like an old piece of cloth. what's worse is that you know you'd check on her the following day to see if she's feeling better. sigh..

I feel a constant overwhelming sense of pressure and stress. It's like a blanket of it has settled over my entire being, and everyday it gets tighter and heavier. It feels as if someday soon it will either crush me or suffocate me, i just have to wait to find out which. :sad:

Over the past year I've learned a lot about myself, went through some phases, and especially just recently really got a hold of what my personality is. I've always kinda knew what kind of person I was, but so many things got in the way that I became this shadow of myself.
I feel that maybe if I didn't have social phobia I'd be a more extroverted person with more friends, partying more. I've always thought that I was a more introverted person, but just recently I've become unsure. I'm confident that maybe I can salvage what I have left to create a meaningful life for myself, but at the same time worried that managing (or extinguishing) this fear will be almost, if not, impossible.
Anyway, just wanted to say that this place has done a lot for me and I thank all of you for that.

This is a common gripe with famous sports stars, even in Australia where NRL and AFL players earn much less.
While I agree that Rooney's contract is extreme, there's more than kicking a ball around. He has to do interviews, charity work, train to keep fit, be on a strict diet, risk injury (even more so with contact sports). And then there's dealing with the pressure of being famous and the pressure of actually being a decent enough footballer to justify his weekly pay.
So there's more to it than just kicking a ball on a field, but his contract is still a lot.
If someone did that to you after you told them you cared about them, they are not friends. They are fake and manipulative and you would do well to stay away from them. Has this happened to you?
You're a busy woman, so I'm not surprised you feel stressed a lot. I hope it passes, singing-love!
I'm glad we have helped you out in some way, Cherry. It's nice to hear that you are getting more comfortable in your own skin.
What people? Family? Strangers?
There's no specific groups, really. It's pretty much everyone that I interact with offline. It's a rare and noticeably special occurrence when someone talks to me like a normal person.

I've been crying a lot recently which I believe is a good thing; the one thing that hurts a lot is the pain I feel inside. Last night I cried cause I had so many sad thoughts going through my head. Hopefully I'll have good days coming towards my way.
Well the self-destructive harddrive that I have to use self-destructed again. Apparently it was a blessing in disguise. Because although I did lose a few things that I did not back-up, my computer is running much faster now than it was during the last install.
I still really need to build a new computer though...

We can rebuild him. We have the technology!
Anyway,
I haven't been on here for a month because I was too lazy to look up my password. So I finally stopped being lazy and changed it.
Also I'm looking for a job, nobody wants to give me one... kind of getting scared

Why are you crying? :sad:
Anyone, and increasingly much? :sad:
Something to do with interpersonal anxiety and/or stress I guess.
For what it's worth, you consistently make some of the most intelligent, thoughtful and rational posts on this forum.
I hope that someday you find a way to put that marvelous mind to a financially practical use and gain independence from your current circumstances.
Pretty sure the rest will follow.

yeah. i'm afraid it did. but she's really upset so i understand where she's coming from. i just can't get over the fact that she's mad at me because i didn't respond the way she wanted me to. i mean, she came to me to vent and somehow, her frustration and annoyance were projected on to me. tbh, i'm waiting for an apology. lol. but i don't think i'm gonna get it.

She may have snapped because she was so upset, but it doesn't make it right. I hope you get that apology.

i'm kinda prone to this kind of treatment- being an emotional punching bag and all. i think it's because i'm too afraid to get mad or walk away. i have a scarcity of friends. i don't wanna lose any of them. sigh.. i just hope things get better between us.

If you're comfortable, tell her that you didn't like her snapping and, even though you know why she did it, it still hurt you. That takes some courage, for sure, but she will see that you have feelings, too, and you can't be used just as an emotional punching bag, like you said.
You're too nice to be treated this way!

hahaha... they don't see "nice". i happen to be very good at making the poker face. they don't think i'm sensitive. they just know i'm shy. in fact, one of my friends asked me before if i cry at all. lol
