    The World Is Not What I Expected

    Hello Denmark. That is, if I'm not mistaken.

    Hello, world

    Some parts of your story sound very familiar.

    I'm sorry for being nosy, since you replied back to someone else regarding your girlfriend, but are you, by any chance, afraid that she might break up with you? EDIT: In case you do, accept the fear and let go of it. Emotions cloud reasoning, therefore fear is what blocks you from understanding...

    "Agree to disagree" is a rather empty and pointless concept/expression, since it doesn't provide any resolution to conflict. It functions as an escape mechanism, safe way to withdraw or avoid something. An example: Lets say there's someone who's abusing someone under random set of assumptions...

    The World Is Not What I Expected

    I can relate a lot to this. Upon entering high-school donned a mask. There was almost no people who knew me before, so I put a lot of effort and time into it and - voila, welcome the new, renown me. Though it did bring some issues: first one, it's not really me; second, I forgot who I was...

    He didn't listen to what I said, dismissed it, and then said exactly same thing. Why are you trying to justify him?

    Happened today at work to me. Said the guy that's supposed to overlook me (I'm temp) that I have nothing to do, so can I help with something to another guy? He then said, no you can't and some random gibberish I didn't understand, then he repeated the same thing I did. Is it bullying...

    Did some googling, thought some things over. Came to conclusion - pack hierarchy. When someone is at the lowest step of it, nobody owes them an explanation. In a way, ignoring you is a way of telling - know your place. Would love to get a feedback on this one.

    I found it abusive and still do. The annoying part is - feeling guilty about it, since you never really receive an explanation. Maybe it wouldn't be such a big deal, but it eats away my self-esteem, little by little every time it's happening.

    I can relate to this as well. What's bothers me the most, is the part of not getting an answer, as it went on till the point where I simply stopped meeting with them because I couldn't handle it any more.

    So, hello.

    This is what I've been looking for. Thank you very much!

    So, hello.

    Me neither, so I probably shouldn't jump to conclusions like that, since it's hard to be objective when describing yourself.

    Not getting interrupted, is quite a problem sometimes.

    I have this problem all the time. Most people don't have patience with this, so they get defensive, sometimes in an offensive way.
