I looked at your profile, and a lot of the things you have been cursed with are things that people seem to have little patience with. With pain issues, after a while, people get tired of your limitations, or even think its a made up excuse.

Going through abuse and rape is something that you need to talk about. Thats natural and probably helpful for you, but there again, after a while, no one wants to hear it anymore. Its not something you just "get over" or "put behind you", without a great deal of work and help.

When you need to talk about something and you get an anger response or the old roll the eyeball deal, it starts to be something that you internalize. No one wants to be punished for being a victim, but in a sense, that is exactly what is happening. Its hard not to get angry at people for ignoring your needs or just blowing them off. Depression kicks in, and then you are called lazy.

Try to keep in mind that your problems were not someting you wanted or asked for. They are things that happened to you and were out of your control. Come here instead when you want to vent. No one will get upset with you here.

If you were "crazy", you would probably not like it. Instead of people getting annoyed with you, they'd just lock you up or drug you. I guess since we can't change the way people react to our problems, all we can do is learn to be empathetic of others and steer clear of those who don't have any patience.
