I hate my physical clumsiness

Post Reply New Topic

Sadly, I'm used to the simple knocking things over, tripping without real injuries, or bumping into stuff--or conversely, flinching way more than most of my co-workers would at stuff that seemed to be coming my way, and God forbid someone threw something I was supposed to catch...on occasion I'd catch it but there was no predicting when I might just instinctively duck it like a missile--people just don't understand that yes, "IT WAS COMING AT ME!" is in fact a legitimate excuse. When I used to work at the same store all the time, I had a constant collection of bruises all at the same level. All from the same counter. It didn't matter how many times I ran into it; it still happened.

But dang, this one hurts!! !

(To the OP...if this is not a thread for all to vent on this subject, please feel free to let me know. I read back on the thread and I realize I may have monopolized it without intending to.)

God I do too. I hate how people always look to see the negatives in others. I am very physically un-built and I hate meeting so many people who think they can push me around. Because I have a college education to worry about and a family to make proud I can't even punch back. I've never been allowed to so I have very little self defense skills and when you see what kind of people are really out there, it makes the world a scary place.

I know how you feel man, you're not alone. Don't let anyone take your joy away.
