Thanks... I just feel so stressed and alone and like no one is rooting for me, no one cares, no one is on my side. I don't make friends easily to begin with, because I am very shy at first, and I don't wear my heart on my sleeve and immediately spew my life story for all to hear - I know that, in this day and age, it's considered "antisocial" to not be so forthcoming, but that is how I am. Aside from the fact that it's nobody else's business, I've been burned so many times that I will not risk my heart getting stepped on again unless I'm damn sure it will be worth it. I'm trying to find work so I can pay for my classes, my rest, utilities, all the things that everyone has to pay for. It's been slow going, however - Fort Collins is a college town, and the college kids have taken a lot of the jobs out there. I feel so misunderstood, like NO ONE bothers to hear my side of the story - they just assume that they know EXACTLY how I live and exactly what I was thinking, and usually, they are completely wrong. For a while I was confused about it. Then I became sad. Then I became bitter. Now I'm just angry over it. I feel like most people don't hear me - they don't listen. This makes me feel so isolated and shut off, and right now, it is simply too much to bear.
