pretty sure I have intolerance to some foods, and should really never eat those foods again
This actually helped me a lot, thank you. I guess I just have to learn to tell the part of my brain that thinks everybody is making fun of me for not doing all the things I want yet to shut up. Again thanksI thought I'd respond to this, but I wouldn't worry about comparing yourself to others. Success isn't a one size fits all thing. For some people it may come later, but that same success may end up being more than the people who were successful first (if that makes sense). It took me an entire two years after graduating from university to find a job that fits me well, and I'm still not really where I want to be yet (don't have a house or apartment of my own yet), but I keep working at it cause I know that in a couple years I will.
Basically, comparing yourself to others just distracts you from opportunities and things you could be working on. I'll tell you right now that I'm never worried about others accomplishing things faster than me, and the lack of worry there allows me to make as much improvement as possible for me over time. It allows me to make as many shots as I can, and for me to put my all into everything. It's not for a lack of skill or anything else, because everyone has at least one thing they excel at. Even one of my best online friends, who doesn't believe he's good at anything, does have some things he is good at.
Anyway, sorry for the lengthy response, but just wanted to chime in because I care. Keep your head up. Life is a long, long journey.
I love my niece but as mentioned before, going out is so stressful for me. I didn’t sleep much either so I’m really tired too. My foot and leg gets aggravated when sitting long at these concerts too (been having an issue with my leg/foot/scoliosis) too. My mom had a month ago asked if i wanted to go, but she was like i’d really like you to go or it’d be very nice if you went. she never gave me a choice.Even it wasn’t stressful for me, as selfish as it is, I still wouldn’t want to go. I just am not really comfortable going to family events; my depression doesn’t help either. Also going anywhere with my dad is a challenge because he doesn’t treat his anxiety so he has panic attacks, lashes out at us (already he’s freaking out; I’m in the car right now). Over the years it has gotten worse. I’m anxious about something else too.
I know someone who's a pathological liar and I know they can't control it but it's so frustrating seeing them lie constantly even for the smallest things and for no reason at all, other people we commonly know have stopped confronting them because "what's the harm" but I still do sometimes and they still double down.I hate people who lie, unless it's something e.g. a surprise party, etc. I knew someone was lying to me as I had proof. They've never been trustworthy as I and others have had issues before with them. The subject came up today about the current issue. The other person told me a lie straight to my face. I challenged them. They said 'No, I'm not lying.' I gave them another opportunity to tell the truth, still nothing. So, I told them why I know they've lied. I said, 'Just tell the truth.' Eventually, they admitted they were lying. I cannot stand liars.
