  • A friend is having me do exercise and I am feeling pain from it. That’s partly why I am quiet these days.

    Walking also is (if the area is safe) something nice to do at night-time. You can walk all over and it's cool out so the heat won't get to you as badly. Make sure you are in a safe area & then go stroll at night and check out the streetlights and the calm. It's pretty cool.

    If not night, at least when the sun isn't beating on you. When I stayed the year with my mother in Louisiana, I went for 3 mile walk, in the "evening" (part of afternoon when the trees shaded the road) once the temp was 90 or less.

    Early, early mornings are good too. I got up this morning at around 4:30 and was out for a walk by six. Nice & cool, no sun, traffic was far from heavy, and if I wanted I could've got coffee at the local diner & read the paper.
    Sometimes people hurt themselves physically to relieve internal pain. Might I suggest taking that same hand and soothing it like you're soothing your heart. You deserve it. I hope you know people care about you
    I hurt myself last night but I didn’t know how much pain I would actually inflict on myself.

    Hurt yourself intentionally? Or hurt yourself by accident, while you were doing something?

    I struck my left hand with my right to demonstrate to a friend how social rejection feels and I didn’t realize how hard I hit my hand. I still feel the nerves acting up.

    Oh boy. That must hurt.
    I can’t think of anything to say besides feeling like I don’t belong anywhere.

    Was my ex-friend right when she told me I don’t see that I can “salvage” myself?

    I think that it doesn't matter if your efforts don't pay off, just trying is enough.

    Was that the one that mistreated you?

    Tell her You're not a piece of scrap metal. But really....that sounds like concern, but nobody, (not anybody words,) can change you but you.
    I am always wondering if I’ll ever get to post about having a romantic relationship.

    Every minute posting this question is a minute not spent answering it.
    My head is pounding. :(

    I tend to take tylenol or just rest when I get exertion headaches.

    That doesn't seem sufficient. Prevention of the situations that lead to the headaches sounds better, to me.

    Maybe you are straining too hard while on the toilet?
    I’ve been told to not socialize if it stresses me out but how will shutting myself away help me get better?

    First, you name is so cool. That's a good point. Maybe limiting social interaction based on how you feel. Also finding people that will embrace your silence and just be there because they like you.

    Telling you not to do something if it stresses you out doesn't really help you get to a point where socializing is less stressful, does it?

    It needs to be a balance. You should get out of your comfort zone but not excessively such that it becomes counterproductive.
    Spoke up again and the co-supervisor got upset.

    No, I just wanted to speak my mind and not bottle my emotions up.

    Just remember that the trick to winning is to not get angry or upset. Being rational is always good. If the supervisor did something unacceptable or treated you badly, maybe he or she just have to be a little upset and deal with that.

    Just don't over do it. But at least you are feeling more empowered.
    I spoke back at the co-supervisor after feeling like she was purposefully singling me out.

    It bothers me that you used the word "at" (spoke back at) rather than "to." At implies no interaction, as if you grant the other person no validity.

    So glad to hear this. You cleared out some concerns and you feel better. Sometimes we don't get the results but we do feel better. This is a big step.

    This will lead you to having other conversations and you holding your ground. It will get easier. Just walking a thin line of not getting fired.
    Why do some people hate me for expressing my emotions?
    Aspychata
    Aspychata
    Not me!

    @Markness That seems like one of those "when did you stop beating your wife?" questions. How do you know it is a fact that there are people who hate you?
    I don’t want to be around my siblings and their families in public unless I have a family of my own.

    Yeah, it is, after all, a display situation, where everybody needs as many points as they can get or else they're losing, right? It sounds like you're saying it's that sort of situation.

    It’s more that I wonder why they succeeded while I didn’t despite coming from the same origin.

    They are them and you are you. Specifically, would you want their exact situations? No substitutions. You have to take exactly what they have. Same wife. Same kids. Still feel like they're such raving successes?
    To all those who bullied me when I was in my developmental years: I hope you’re happy.

    They missed out on a great person
    The vicious cycle I am in keeps me hopeless.

    Hang in there until you get that help from the doctor. That's change, something new. Things could get easier, or at least easier to deal with.
