  • Why do people in relationships often tell me they don’t want me to have one myself?

    Who knows? As many times as you've pondered this, do you not remember that some of the people who say that are only too willing to tell you why they say it? And it was never fun hearing their *reasons.* Ask them, if you're feeling masochistic and just want to hear it again.

    Sometimes they really believe that they are *only trying to help you.* Sometimes, I imagine, there are just some mean jerky people that you encounter. And other times, people aren't even saying that, but you interpret it that way.

    I would not recomend anybody with clinical depression starting a new relation or being parent untill they got into a more balanced mental state. That said, I have no idea of why those people told you that.
    I have no bonds with my half-sisters anymore.

    Why do you suppose it is that way?

    They probably either don’t know what to tell me or just aren’t interested anymore.

    I have no bond with my entire extended family except for one of my uncles, his wife, and his daughter. The rest of my family hates me and they have said that. My family is completely divided on politics and social justice issues, and my parents and I, and my uncle’s family, have been kind of pushed out of the circle in recent years.
    I think being estranged from family members is more common than you might think.
    Well, I went to the bookstore and the discussion was happening!

    So the re-scheduling was for today ? Not in the future....

    It wasn’t rescheduled. It happened on the day it was supposed to take place.

    That's weird.
    I feel daunted by the vision board project.

    I wasn’t told it needed a title but I thought it would. Should I use a sharpie or simple markers to write out the two wishes I DO need to put on there?

    That's up to you.
    Since it is a "Vision" board, there will be images, too, right?
    Markness
    Markness
    Yes. I was suggested either to get magazine cut outs or do drawings.
    It’s insulting when people assert they know how your thinking works better than you do.

    People have said that to me, tree, unfortunately :( Oppressive, yes, and a bit condescending.

    @Aspychata Work has been slow and boring lately. I try to keep my sanity together but it’s not easy.

    Proud you are sticking it out. Don't let that lady trigger you. :)
    I made some small talk with a Dutch Bros. worker a moment ago.

    So you were at some kind of coffee shop? (I looked up what "Dutch Bros." was.) Or somebody who worked at one of those places randomly appeared in your air space?

    This particular location does drive-thru orders and the employee came up to my open window.

    Right on Dude. Keep it rocking.
    Why is life so easy for others while I always get dead ends?
    cornman
    cornman
    Because you have a terrible attitude and are extremely pessimistic. Almost all of your posts are negative. Instead of saying "why is life better for others" you could say "why is *my* life better then others" its all about attitude and perspective.

    All lives have hard parts. You get less of them when you resist making self-inflicted injuries.
    My family’s web needs to get severed.

    You're an author. To make this more interesting say "I will sever my family's web." Put it in active case & roll on from there. You won't fail; you'll either win or learn.

    @Markness You're saying you find that your thought process is more fluid when you using Adderall? Chemical stimulation isn't necessarily the answer (ie coffee/caffeine).
    Is getting out of a rut truly harder the more you are stuck in it?
    Gerontius

    Yes. Have you ever managed to sink a car in a dirt road? The more you sit there spinning the wheels, the more it will get itself hub deep.

    No, read that closer & apply to reality. You have been saying nearly that exact same thing for years & it has gotten you more of the same. Why not try a different tactic? Those have been giving you a little bit of good results.

    Sleeping would probably be the most leisurely activity of all....

    I discovered that crying myself to sleep worked for me in high school, as far as making it possible to get to sleep.
    I forgot to call back to get my blood tests scheduled.

    @Markness Were you ever able to establish that some particular doctor wanted you to have blood work done? And get that scheduled? The lab I go to doesn't schedule blood draws. You just have to show up during their working hours & be able to say which doctor is sending you in for work.
    Aspychata
    Aspychata
    Good point tree. Usually your doctor's office sends you with instructions to go get lab work done. Do you have any paperwork that you didn't look at?
    Aspychata

    Or instructions to call such and such number and schedule.
