Re: OMG! HELP. serious

Kevin,

I notice everyone here is trying to help you... some are impatient with you.
You are missing some key relationship skills, so you never learned and wonder why other respond mean to you.

Your View:
1) you are in pain - so others should be considerate of your needs.
2) you are frustrated - so they should help you meet your goals.
3) you are trying - so why dont they appreciate it.

Unfortunately the USA is not a communal society - there is nothing wrong with your feelings but in this culture they will not be understood. This culture expects...
1) you take care of your needs and dont complain
2) solve your own problems - leave them out of it - unless they are a paid advisor.
3) they feel everyone should take care of themselves and don't reward you for independence - its expected. If you can't cut it - they will dump you.


So with this in mind. the forum here is a great place to get advice and to post your progress. People around you rarely care. they just want you to keep your area clean, be on time, and pay your bills.
Put on the " happy face" required and interface with those at work and school.
Keep your support to the people who give it. Notice those who dont want to hear and quit blasting thier communication line with your content - they dont care.
Seek those who will work with you, and find another mode for them to relate to you beside through your struggles - then you will have a real friend.

My BEST
