My favorite video game was just released today and I bought it. Take care of my adult responsibilities today or play all day? This is a tough choice.
People keep stopping me while I'm walking at the park and asking me questions.
Like yesterday this woman stopped an asked if I knew where the soccer field was with kids playing soccer.
I said "yea, it's that way" and pointed in the direction. She said "thanks" and drove off.
Then I saw her drive around the park aimlessly at least three times. One time she waved at me but didn't stop.
Then this couple stopped me on this road in the park and asked if they were driving on the walking trail.
I said "no, it's just a road. You can drive here."
Amygdala, what is it good for, absolutely nothing, say it again.
All this talk about the amygdala is starting to give me a desire to study it closer...I have an advanced degree in health science and don't know much about that organ. I do know that studies have been conducted in the past on the amygdala on people undergoing brain surgery. When they stimulated the patients amygdala the patients reported feelings of intense fear and insecurity. But when they asked the same "feelings" questions to people that lost their function in the amygdala the patients recognized every emotion except for fear. I bet cavemen millions of years ago got a lot of use out of their amygdala's when they had to run away from a lion or tiger they heard in the bushes, lol...fear is good for passing on genes sometimes. Irrational fear on the other hand like y'all are referring to though? Yea, I agree with that...f*ck you amygdala."When the amygdala perceives a threat, it can lead that person to react irrationally and destructively". :thumbdown:
Feeling over the top and angry - kinda fed up annoyed - frustrated- always coming and going using all my resources and everyone wants a piece of me - just want my space and completely hate my partners lifestyle and values tastes - I want to spend time in my own world. I feel I've lost my identity. I didn't want to have to go in my car again and go for a drive with him driving my car and then to have hot chips at 11:00 in the morning. And he actually used his change all the money he has of $8 plus a $1 from me to get the chips. Then of course I had to give him money for a drink - hope I get my change back. He has zero money but to spend on his chronic smoking habit. Every time I go to the shops it's can I have an ice coffee etc., i drive over to his place - up steep hills in my tiny one cylinder type car (Daewoo matiz) and yet his brand new car he borrows from his sister (she doesn't drive - panic attacks) - it's a good car with the grunt to get up those hills - yet he doesn't fill up his petrol - only with a tiny amount of $2 worth just barely the red zone in the gator. So always using my car still and my money still - he tried to be kind and all that - but he just had no money . And the other RBI g is when I'm at my place he gets bored and feels uncomfortable and so I feel hijacked with my time - I don't like his way of living I like mine - yet I stop all my things to be with him. Don't want to go back snd fourth all the time. I hate his smoking and I hate all this - it's too much of me - and when I push my way - and just do it my way - a surge of emotions come and it's a lot of energy . It's not just him but my family and even animals. Need my space
... i drive over to his place - up steep hills in my tiny one cylinder type car (Daewoo matiz) and ...
Don't mean to nitpick, but i had to check on that car on web, and i think what u meant is it's a 1 litre car, not 1 cylinder (it'll have either 3 or 4 cylinders). I couldn't believe your car could have 1 cylinder - as most motorbikes have that.
I really need to start drinking again. I think it's my only way I can cope with my family's constant negative BS. :sad: :kickingmyself:
My mind's so bored, it is snoring
I've been on SPW a little while now and I have read a lot of the stuff you post.
It sounds to me like you definitely need a different way to cope with your situation. Drinking?Ignoring the BS? Learning to laugh at the BS? I don't know... I hope you find something that helps you out mate.
Well, moving out would be my best option. But they wouldnae know what to do without me. :idontknow:
Anyways, if I ignore the BS then my family calls me cold, withdrawn n' indifferent. Laugh at it, like I did a few weeks ago with my mum - I'm a c*nt. But that's another story, needless to say it ended up with me in tears from laughing so much.
I mean, Christ, ah cannae even offer my perspective. It being "bloody stoopid". Since, me saying them arguing and complaining aw the time isn't going make things better. But, apparently, that truth doesnae quite get through to them.
Yet, I have to listen to my mum call another member o' my family, usually cousins or in-laws "...f**kin' bitch" or a "selfish b@$%@:!". The latter of those being a frequent terms for the men o' the family. Myself included. So, cannae really win, ether way.
Since I'm suppose to be the male feminist and f**kin' agree with everything the wimmin in my immediate family say, unquestioningly. Or else they breakdown in tears and accuse me of being a bully when I offer an opinion that doesnae conform to theirs. :crying:
Not even exaggerating when I say that, either.
Unless. of course. you can suggest a better way o' coping with the dysfunction around me? I'm option tae yer suggestions, Pug. Because, beyond drinking, and spending time in my bedroom cranking thrash-metal tunes on my stereo and attempting to compose my own instrumental music, ah cannae think o' anything else. :sad:
