It's really f***ing cold out right now and I'm not used to it. The heat is cranked up and it's 68F in here (it's like 0F outside), but I still can't seem to keep enough circulation in my hands to stop them from feeling cold as I type.

I guess too much wrong planet can be a bad thing.

I wonder why I even post most people probably dislike me by now.

Better to not get bothered by the words of, umm... I can't think of a nice word to use, people. I also have a hard time not being negatively effected by random idiots and knuckleheads on the internet. I'm not saying your feelings are invalid. I'm just trying to say that certain imbecilic opinions are invalid, so in theory you could try to dismiss them for what they are. I know, easier said than done, emotions are emotions.

To people that matter, the only thing bothersome are the self-deprecating statements. Some people feel awkward responding to things like "I wonder why I even post when most people dislike me". It can seem like you're accusing people of disliking you and making a threat to leave. If you need reassurance maybe there are more direct ways to ask. I think it's just very small minority of jerks who feel the need to broadcast the fact that they are "annoyed" by people they don't even know expressing distress or frustration over the internet. I don't think even you actually believe that the majority of people on this forum dislike you just for being depressed and having the need to vent. But exaggerated self-deprecating statements alienate some people who would otherwise like you because it can come off as passive aggressive.

Hopefully this isn't upsetting to you. I'm trying to be helpful here.



Well I don't know I don't really know how to come off as tolerable, but I'll keep that in mind I guess.

Well I don't really know how to come off as more tolerable, I guess.......and I don't always have direct questions about things, sometimes I'm frustrated and don't really know what I'm even looking for. And I have no problem with people not responding, besides if it came to a point where everyone just never responded then I'd probably get the message and leave but until that happens I imagine there is no reason for me to leave the forum.

I was talking about saying things like "someone said <insert nasty thing> about me, that must mean nobody likes me and I'm unwelcome here, maybe I should leave". I just looks like expressing frustration to me but some people take it as you threatening to leave.

I second what sextaesada what said.

Extreme apathy (always anxious, of course), perhaps best described as avolition. Interest seems to keep me away from depression though.

Hugs to all in the negative, if you would like one.

You have my sympathy, I have had headaches off and on for a couple of weeks.

For me ranging between 0 and -4, it's been a hard week and I'm not looking forward to tomorrow.
