    I don’t want to look up a certain website, especially after how it got presented to me. It was like a jab in the stomach.

    Call Girl in Another World is a fun manga to read. It’s naughty but also sweet and light hearted.

    I wish I could prove my detractors wrong.

    If you must prove yourself to someone, how about proving your supporters right?

    Yeah, what @Rodafina says is the key here. Dude, you need to stop caring so much about what bullies and jerks say/think about you. They... dont... matter. What you do, for yourself, is what matters.

    And really, it doesnt matter just how astonishingly successful you might get overall, you will STILL have people that just dont like you for who knows what reason. Being a success at stuff doesnt make you immune to that. Important to keep in mind, I think.

    I had my doctor’s appointment today. My weight came up as 277 lbs and my blood pressure was considered fine.

    I believe his mother is overbearing, and @Markness is learning to have boundaries and request his mom respect him. I already know she is a MD. But sometimes you don't want your mom in all of your biz, especially if you are asserting your independence which is critical part of growing up. I didn't accomplish freeing myself from what my parents thought until l was 25.

    I saw a large red eared slider turtle at the park.

    I always say hello to animals when I see them. Usually I tell them thank you, too. Little creatures brighten my day.

    @Rodafina I waved and said “Hi!” to it. It then dove into the water.

    A large red eared slider, you say? Any chance they were of the teenaged mutant ninja variety?

    My struggles don’t seem to count to certain people.

    Consider the math, Mark. That we are a 1.8% mathematical minority to the CDC.

    If that's accurate, there's no reason for the other 98.2% to get who and what we are. Even if a friend or a blood relative. That "the math doesn't take prisoners".

    Think that is normal to wonder if friends will tire of you. I just recently worried that l was bothering someone too much, but once she gets thru her situation, then l feel better. I tend to worry more about people's emotional health if they are struggling. I think l truly am an emotional nurse. Lol or empath which is the more common term. Try thinking about people differently,

    But they do seem to count to some people. Like us.

    I’ve been accused of viewing people as NPCs when that isn’t the case at all.

    Oh....I was thinking of NPCs in the sense of them being algorithms with no minds and no feelings.
    Not as ciphers programmed to assist the main player when the player says the activating phrases.

    @tree It doesn’t sound positive either way.

    Sounds like whoever said that was very immersed in game mentality.
    And, no, saying that someone regards other people as NPCs isn't a
    positive remark. It implies believing the individual doesn't relate to
    other people as actual living beings.

    I hope I can make it to two different metal shows near the end of the month.

    If you enjoy metal, then go. I don't like metal. I like EDM, but I could never do the crowd and loud noise. Good for you to handle it.

    I stayed inside for most of the day since I didn’t have to go into work and I wanted to take things easy. The weather also made me sleepy.

    It could’ve been better but at least it was peaceful.

    I believe the distaste shown towards me is personal.

    You don't feel that your posts reflect your true personality?

    I think they reflect my personality. I just think those who dislike my posts also dislike me as a human and wish I was excommunicated.

    Yes, you have frequently expressed that idea.

    Why is my college experience so lonely?

    But maybe a library isn't the best place to meet someone.

    @Markness, maybe you are just in a program where most people there are really focused on the classes and not socializing. I used to get very annoyed with any social events in grad school because I was there to work and learn and very tired afterward. Luckily, everyone else in my program was too, and we were just there for the education, not for making friends.

    ^I think this is probably the case! I mentioned the other day that I, myself, am in college to learn, not to socialize.
    It really does suck when people don’t want to make friends with us, but the goal in college should be more to get an education than to hang out with people. There are better ways to make friends in adulthood. But I’m not minimizing or discounting your struggles.

    I had flashbacks of my parents shaming and yelling as well as screaming at me.

    I'm so sorry to hear that. Not just the flashbacks but the fact they did that to you in the first place. I don't have very fond memories of my parents either.

    Ouch. I can relate to all this. I am trying not to cry reading these comments. When you could never please critics called mom and dad.

    My mother still defends a cousin who bullied me and is baffled that I don’t want to interact with him.
