What are your relationships like?

[punklove]

Well the only relationship that I'm satisfied with at the moment would be my relationship with my boyfriend.

My bestfriend keeps giving me **** for not going to school and she says she tries to understand how I feel but it doesn't really seem like she does.

I miss my dad, he doesn't live with me and I haven't seen him for almost two months. It feels like much longer though. I just don't feel comfortable going to his house because of my stepmom and just the environment there.

My mom's too busy occupying herself with her friend Paul who is over ALL THE FREAKING TIME.

All in all I know I'm such an inconvenience to EVERYONE which is why I'd rather just stay here in my room and not disturb people. I don't mind being invisible.

I'm just happy to have my boyfriend I know he wouldn't let me down.

My mother and I act more like sisters rather than a mother and daughter. She has a very childish yet mature (that goes both ways....) personality, always laughing, and always manages to put a smile on her face no matter how s***** life is for her at the time and I idolize her for that. She's been through a lot and I mean A LOT in life and I'm amazed that she can actually be this happy and not pointing a gun at her head. I really hope I can be like her someday.

As for my friends, we get along very well, considering they're some of the very few people in this world who accept my SA and don't put me in situations they know will make me uncomfortable.

Strained atm. SA can ruin a lot of things, especially with family members who don't really understand it.::

Hmm.. quite a bit of feline relationships it seems... High number of animal lovers in this forum

 

[coyote]

Yep, cats say "I like you" to each other by doing a sort of slow half blink at each other. The opposite is a wide eyed stare. If you do the slow half blink at even random cats they usually do one back and wont eat you.

some girls like that, too

Tonight I picked a flea off my "best friend in the whole world."

I speak of my dog. My geek friends don't get out enough to get fleas.

I have a really close bond with my family, we do lots of things together, have lots of fun, we fight together through bad times, we can talk about things.. so i have a really good relationship with my parents & brother. also with my grandparents.

I also have really good friends, some of them are more close to me than others, but they are all really great, some of them I know in real life, some of them only on the web. I can find support , I can make fun with them, thats all that matters

But i agree.. SA can ruin it.. I mean the social situations, I spent alot of time alone because of SA, and I'd rather wish I could be more around my friends, so I can see them more =), But I'm just really awkward around my friends.
Also around some family members.

And especially strangers.

SA is not fun at all!

But I'm glad some people try to understand and support us!

those are what i call.. real friends!

Yeah, I keep my distance with people I am not really close with anyone except my partner. I think it has helped in some respects that we initially met online it gave him a chance to get to know me in small bouts. If I am around people 24/7 it seems to have the adverse affect on me I don’t become accustomed to it. I live with my family including my Nan and I feel bad I don’t spend much time with them but even if I do I am so awkward they still don’t get to know the real me, they consider me a stranger.

Sisters: I have one immediate sister and two step sisters. My relationship with my two step sisters has been very poor, as we have never ever really spoken. I left left a message on my one's Facebook profile a few weeks ago and have yet to hear from her. the other? I am still plucking up the courage to contact her. My immediate sister; we have always been very close. Though there were a few hiccups over the years, we've always been close. The biggest threat to our relationship over the past two years has been her boyfriend. She moulds herself around him, and he is utter trash. I'm not saying that because I don't like her having a boyfriend, I've liked her past boyfriends, but this one is the worst mistake of her life. One of his flawed attributes is to use any argument or disagreement to pull people apart. So he tries to create disharmony between her and the rest of the family. It's been very stressful trying to bury my anger and maintain my relationship with her.

Mother: Very strained. Though she has had to deal with a very serious threat to her health over the past two years, but the aggression and raw bitterness started before that.

Father: The animosity between us has dissipated, there is definitely a very weak connection between us. He never really took an interest in me as a child, and now his attempts at trying to be close now are very awkward for me.

Friends: Lost my best friend, and shed all the fakes... which has left me with nothing.

Tigger: My trusty steed... well cat, lol. He's ginger, but I try not to let that get between us XD

Mom: Very Good. She’s the one that helps support me when my part-time job doesn’t quite cover the bills. I have a lot of guilt over that - her retirement is going into keeping a roof over her grown son’s head.

Father: Non-Existant, especially seeing as how he died in June. But even before that, there wasn’t much of a relationship - he didn’t like being a father so he rode motorcycles instead. Your loss, Pops.

Brother: Tense, but that’s better than strained, which was how it had been until fairly recently. We’re talking to each other, so that’s good at least.

Stepfather: Barely civil, and even that’s due to my efforts. He’s an immature jerk who’s not good to my mother. ‘Nuff said.

Grandfather: Very Good, but he’s disappointed in me. He’s old-school and thinks my problems can be overcome with willpower. It hurts a lot to think that his opinion of me is that I’m weak.

Friends: I have one who I hang out with every once in a while, but the instances have gotten fewer and farther between (He met a great girl a few months ago who he’s been dating). I wouldn’t be surprised if they make an announcement sometime next year.

That’s about it for my circle.
