What made you unhappy today? v3.0

[Edge]

My son is shy, so of course when he doesn't make eye contact or talk to people he just met, it makes these strangers "concerned." We are getting him tested for autism just in case, but it is very frustrating how people automatically jump to the conclusion that just because he's shy around people he doesn't know, that there must be something wrong with him other than shyness. He has no problem making eye contact and chatting with me and other people he sees on a regular basis.
Also, my friend has told me that he thinks he has no worth, that he is responsible for everyone, and he refuses to take a break to take care of himself. That's too much pressure for anyone under regular circumstances, but this is also after his dad just died. Ah well. You can lead a horse to water...

I wouldn't worry about your son, he's just a shy little boy, he'll get past it without some pill pusher putting him on medication.
Sounds like your friend is a fixer, always feeling obligated to fix everyone else's broken lives. Tell him he doesn't have to do that and to take care of himself for a change!
I was like your son and now I'm so outgoing that people want me to be quiet for awhile. Been a fixer too, no-one appreciates it and it only wears you out, it's a dead end endeavor!

I know. I'm not worried about my son's shyness. I'm worried about the people who are overeager to diagnose him just for being shy with them and what they will try to force on him.
Oh I told him that very sternly and bluntly as well as why and what the consequences are likely to be if he doesn't. He chooses not to listen to me.

Whoa. Wait. Did you just say your ex died? That slipped right past me. I know he wasn't someone who treated either of you well. What are you feeling about this?

No, my friend's dad. I never met him, but my friend loves him a lot, so I am worried about him.

Just feeling like crap right now.  I should be selling my things to pay for the next video game I want so I can buy them at $60, or to save up for  Anime Expo.  I shouldn't be selling my things to have to pay for top surgery.  I really wish I was born a cismale. 

[Crow]

It sure is frustrating when I mention top surgery to close friends/partners and they respond by commenting on how much they like my chest!

Not only is my TV broke - two weeks so far without TV - I had fraud against my credit card so I am not even getting a new one for a week so I can't even get a new TV for probably even 3 more weeks, now I find out my new computer won't even play a stupid DVD  and the company I bought it from wants to charge me $200 to support it

There's a certain website that helped me when I had no tv.  Not sure I'm allowed to post it here though.

Posting commercial links on the public boards is a no no, but you can mention the name as long as it doesn't appear as an advert    Better yet, send a PM (personal message) and make new a friend as well

I haven't seen my son's face in a month.

Two flat tires in one week and no spares or cash.    Pay day is taking way too long and I'll have to not pay somebody meaning I will either lose my gas, electricity and/or internet.  GRRRR!!!

The chicken patty I ate had no flavor.  What a waste of calories.

A little Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce would have fixed that!

Tonight's episode of 24 Hours in A&E made me cry pitifully, because it featured a lovely old gent passing away in the same way as my mother did. It's such a good show, but it triggered some very bad memories.

I was checking out some recent pics on my sister in laws fb album that were taken over the fourth and I found one with me from the side, didn't even know it was taken. Reminds me why I avoid most pics, especially from the side. I just don't look right from that angle and its depressing as hell.

You've never seen a side of pic of me, I don't post them for a reason.

Yes you have and I did see a side view and you have a great looking figure, so no more fibs from you girl! 

[Renee]

I'm pretty sure I have not posted a side view of my face. its got nothing to do with my figure.

screw it, I'm going to bed.
