So, so incredibly frustrated. I tried to extend an olive branch to a member of my family that feels ostracized and has distance herself from us. But she acted as if I was going to walk up to her and say something rude. At a funeral, no less. I told her that I was glad that she came and that I loved her and we hugged. Then she said, "See, we aren't as evil as everyone thinks we are." Maybe it wasn't her intention to come off as a jackass, but she did to me. I have been thinking about this family feud for a long time and I assumed that it would be an easy fix. I guess not... I just hope that it gets mended before my mom and her sisters are all dead and me and my cousins are old and grey.
How are you feeling?

Hie yer hence from me heath!
Stressed oot... and even mair anxious. On the verge o' a f**kin' pain attack.
Relatives are comin' tae stay over during Christmas, so that's me stressed oot and socially anxious fur the next week or so. Eh... and, tae tell ye the truth, I cannae be arsed, just can't be bothered.

I hope I know what you're on about. Some other thoughts: Feelings (cynicism) are not factual. There are ways to change the feelings you have about certain things, while still maintaining your core values. There's no one way to see. No one way to feel. Search for inspirational angles for yourself. And remember that the way in which you try to inspire, are the feelings you will inspire.

It doesn't sound like there was any malice involved in what she said but I can see why you took it badly. The funeral setting doesn't help matters, as everyone's already solemn. Is the family feud that bad?
What's bothering you? :

I read that men experience PMS symptoms once a year for some reason. So maybe it was that.
Yay! You deserve some good times, twiggle. :thumbup:

Tired as usual. Considering popping a caffeine pill so I can stay awake all night working on a project due Saturday morning.

That sounds promising twiggle. Good luck with it.:thumbup:
I think I said some things that did not turn out the way I wanted them to where I work yesterday.:sad:
Just can't stop going over and over and over what I said, wondering if it was taken the wrong way or not. Can't. stop. over-analysing. it. :kickingmyself:

It's extremely sad to read you live in a stressful home. I know it sucks the life out of your soul. Hopefully you will be able to move from that soon, and I hope you can find the strength to endure it until you can leave.

Because of my cold and all the coughing not only do my ribs and back hurt I think im starting to lose my voice as well. I was on a phone call and in the middle of a sentence my voice cracked and I sounded like a munchkin from the wizard of oz.

I wish people knew me better.
I don't like how I come across on here - I think everyone thinks I am some paranoid insecure freak that is difficult to get along with - constantly needing reassurance and feeling sorry for himself. A person who is fairly unintelligent, stubborn and disagreeable.
I fear it's ostracizing my acceptance in this forum - making myself more of an outsider than I already feel.
I wish someone knew me - properly. I wish someone could see how much I have to offer to take the time to know me - how much goodness I have inside me.
Instead I have the direct opposite effect. So I sit here, and churn away my feelings... by myself, making myself more and more isolated - physically and psychologically.
