Thank you, and besides, my communication style is different. I prefer speaking the way I usually speak.

I can't take myself seriously when I need to when I use emojis or emoticons, and I have a hard time taking other people seriously when they use emojis and emoticons. To me when someone speaks with emoticons, emojis, abbreviations, and no articles(a,the,that,as), I feel like they are joking with me, pulling me leg, teasing me, pulling a joke, trying to get me to laugh at what was said, or they are being sarcastic. I even have a hard time taking Facebook seriously, because on Facebook when someone is having a serious conversation with me, and I all I see is a smile, I can't take the person as serious as I would if I see the person face to face. I especially can't take a Snapchat argument seriously. If someone uses memes, I definitely assume the person is joking right away, but that isn't the case with everyone.

What shocks me the most is when someone uses "haha" or "lol" and they are not even really laughing. Instead it was probably a way to say moving on.

I may be the only person on this planet who doesn't speak like a rebel of English class, but hey you don't like me for being myself, then so be it.

It can be very hard , especially when one only has a written language to go by, so naturally we associate wording often from past experience and many of us here have had some pretty sh***y past experiences, so when something ""seems"" like something from the past it creates a negative trigger. So the individual will interpret your words wrongly, or what you say.. May come back aggressively or even pull away. When all that time when typing you were doing it in a calm and placid way in your mind yet the other person in their mind turned translated it aggressively...

I have been guilty of this at times but try to appologise as soon as i can.. Have also lost some awesome potential friends from misunderstandings also... It does cut deep and yes it does effect us and yes it will keep happening. The main thing to over come this is as long as you are aware of such things then one can limit possible future pain responses.. and try to make habit form a positive translation as opposed to an immediate negative response based on a***holes of the past... It is like having to re learn trust all over again. When one has been stung that many times the subconscious can have a rather knee jerk reaction...

Simply, dont give up! People will either take the time to see you for who you really are or they will delusion themselves with thoughts that is self comforting to them, if they do not wish to see you for who you truly are as a human being then dont waste ones time on them as they obviously have issues themselves that they need to address and it isnt your job to fix that only express and maybe support but at the end of the day it is up to themselves to address those negativities... Generally here most are a sincere bunch which can be hard to fathom compared to many RL interactions hence many of us will interpret the others remarks actions based on our own past experiences... It is putting the energy into trust, within ourselves and the other but trusting more wisely

^This is all you need to remember. I do, however, understand your frustration and disheartenment. I wish I had some words of wisdom for you. All I can say is try your best to remember your own words, above! You are a very wise and good person, ZachGoodwin, and those people who judge you for the way you communicate, well, it's their loss! You rock!

Thank you. I feel a lot better now.

Glad to know you're feeling better. : )

Hmmm, sounds like a little tinnitus... You started those olive oil drops i mentioned yet?

The only thing better than having to work on vacation to meet a deadline by Monday...

...is to have your computer charger break while you're in an entirely different country, and your computer is 100% entirely dead. With all of your documents and spreadsheets. Gone.

I have another laptop I thankfully brought with me, but I have to recreate e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g. from scratch and i just want to kill someone/myself/curl into a ball and cry

At the Officers' Training for Toastmasters, they did a roast of a certain high-ranking member. It quickly degenerated into vulgarity and some the audience comments were rude, insulting and embarrassing. It was unsettling and so unfunny.

The babies in the lobby won't stop screaming.

SLEEP. DISORDER.
It's been way exacerbated today by wanting to enjoy having ANY time to myself, alone, as much as I can. I don't want to "waste" it sleeping. I REALLY need to move the hell out of here.

I have a headache.

Feeling restless and irritable. Hard to concentrate or do anything productive.
