Kalamity -- I really think that things can get better for you.

Have you ever taken a class in Interpersonal Communication? If this fits into your program of study, it is a good place to learn communication strategies.

Now, mind you, I am a good deal older than you, and I have a good deal of study under my belt about communication, and I still manage to tick people off all the time.

Because I am a people pleaser, I often feel quite hurt about this and angry with myself.

Recognizing that I am a people pleaser also means that I can recognize tht some of these feelings are distortions of what's actually happened. My AA sponsors and Ts and other mentors also have helped me to see that people's responses to me often are [b]about their stuff[/i] and were not my fault.

Being young can be very challenging. Things will change. Indeed, the one thing that we can be sure of in life is that , "This too shall pass."
