I do.

Yesterday I was having sensory issues and then my boyfriend asks me if I can give him a ride to the store because we needed more cups and I snapped at him. He told me it's fine and had his mother do it instead. Now I feel guilty about it because I could have driven him to the store and it would have gotten me out of the house for a bit but I wasn't expecting it so I snapped. Under stress makes me more inflexible. I just gotta try harder next time.

Yeah. I was meant to go and post Christmas cars the other day, but because I was taking so long to muster the energy to do it, my Dad done it instead. While he was out he fell over face first. Did I feel so guilty or what.

Christmas cars? Why can't you be content with a card like everyone else. :)
I can understand him falling over 'cos they'd be heavy... carrying even one car is impossible for me.

Ok... (sorry - not picking on your for your spelling) just couldn't resist because of the thought of carrying vehicles around and trying to jam them into little postbox holes.

Seriously though - The amount of things people are expected to do at Christmas is enough to drive anyone nuts.

Yeah, I made a jerk of myself ending a certain chapter in my life. But in the end, I don't know how else I could have done it.

I'd rather be a jerk then a p****. I don't think I'm a jerk, but it doesn't bother me anyways...

Yeah, sometimes.

Like the other day when my aunt told me how much I'd grown. I'm really sensitive about people making comments on my height because I'm only 5' 6 1/2" inches, but people are always calling me tall. I have no idea why, but it upsets me. Anyway, I firmly told her that I hadn't grown since sixth grade and she looked at a loss for words. I was only after she left that my mom nicely told me that when people comment on how much you've grown they really can mean how much you've changed. Ugh, people and their confusing ways of saying one thing and meaning another.

I also regularly feel like a jerk when something bad happens and I'm the only one not crying/showing sympathy about it.

Do you ever feel like a jerk?


Yeah, pretty much all of the time; I see myself as one too.

Yes, I feel like a jerk sometimes.If I snap at somebody for making a minor change in plans, for example, or if someone tells me about something really awful that happened and I can't think of anything suitably sympathetic to say.

My mum always presses me for an answer faster than I can come up with one, due to thought process time, and I snap back telling her not to rush me. Yeah, feel like a jerk for doing it. Darned Christmas cars filled my house, now I need a new garage for them all. Sorry, but that is a great image, and a perfect example of taking things literally. Ruined my sister's day by doing that...

When there is a tragedy in the family and my wife is sitting on the floor crying.....and I have absolutely no idea what to say or do and just stand there like a moron...I feel like the biggest jerk in the world.

My mother just came into my bedroom and said that she was going to open my window. I said to her..."Just get out leave it now!".
Now I feel like a jerk because all she was doing was opening my window. She's been coming in and out of my bedroom all day though, so kind of got to me I think.

Something that I'll never forget.

I was walking out of a KFC when an old lady tripped not too far away from me. I didn't know what to do so I just stood their like an idiot with all these thoughts running through my head.

1. should I help her up?
2. What if she doesnt want help?
3. What if she is embarassed that she fell? Should just pretend I didn't see it?
4. Should I ask if she wants help up before I try to help her up?
5. What if she doesnt like people touching her?

Someone came out and helped her up before I could figure out what I was supposed to do. I felt like such an ass after that and now know that I should have just helped her up right away.

Haunts me to this day.
