"calmdown","u dont even try" "concentrade"
any one else who need to hear this several times at day?...im geddin paranoid soon

I said "not much," but that's because I don't have to work for a living. I used to hear them all the time as a kid, together with "you never finish anything you started", which means of course anything others wanted me to do, and "you're a dreamer, where are you?"

I've heard it a lot, but not every day. One day, I was discussing the reality, etc... of star trek, and one person said "It's NOT real, etc...". HELL, I knew/know that, but she somehow figured I was too zealous, etc... even though I would be LOST at a trekkie convention. I like it, but am not fanatical. And William shatner(aka Captain James Tiberious Kirk) is the ANTITHESIS of what I ever wanted to be! Frankly, I think he comes across as pretty stupid, and they are both the same.

when someone tells me 'you just oughta chill out it is all I can do to keep from feeling my fingers meet around the neck of the person trying to:
a) control me
b) decide for me what my reaction should be
c) think that somehow I don't know I need to calm down
d) embarass me into it

when I was living with my parents, decades and decades ago I had to put up with "calmdown","u dont even try" "concentrade" and I promised myself that someday I would make my own living and not have to put up with even a second of this sort of disrespect.

I have had to leave jobs, drop classes, walk away from relationships, but I will not stand for it! (shiver~cringe)
