I'm suffering from an endocrine disorder that makes me look feminine enough that some people are mistaking me as female. Somehow, way too many people are taking my appearance as an open invitation to ramble on and on and on, etc. And those same people fail to listen to my concise statements and fail to realize that if I say something once, I mean it. I HATE REPEATING MYSELF. I HATE LISTENING TO OTHERS REPEAT, RAMBLE AND SECOND GUESS ME.

I'm fuming and fuming. Morning to night. I wish I could afford to see a therapist, but I'm too poor.

(I can't remember a time that I've ever been this worked up over a communication style. I've just had all I can take. It's like when someone softly hits you in the arm over and over. It doesn't matter the first hundred times, but after that, it really hurts.)
