when people tell me i can't do anything, i try to prove them wrong by saying that i can. i tell that i have the right. that i have the right to believe in whatever i want to and nobody is going to stop me from doing what i love. nobody is going to stop me from believing what i choose to believe. i am very determined. i am relentlessly determined.
too many times people have mistreated me. i wish things would get better for me this year. i hope things will. people know how i treat them. i don't treat them terribly so why am i being treated this way? like everybody doesn't really welcome me.
yeah when i asked this stupid chick what she was going to take for ap classes next year, she just said yes and then started walking away and this other chick just ignored me when i asked her if spanish 3 was going to be hard since i was planning on taking it. that stupid girl....honestly, i feel like getting mad right now. so many people can be so disrespectful to me at once.
my friends, they all have the same values and everything, can make friends much faster than i can. people don't care about me. when i talk to them, they just want to walk away. i know that complaining probably won't do much good, but it makes me really mad especially when i really need people to talk to and to think that they would respect me one bit... ugghh

Why do people walk away? Perhaps you express yourself (by accident) in a way that offends them. Perhaps they FEEL that you're being cocky, when you don't mean to. Perhaps they FEEL that YOU feel you're better than them, when actually you don't feel that way.

Sometimes we give people the wrong impression when we speak to them. We have to be careful with our choice of words and with our demeanor when talking to people. Sometimes just our body language can give the wrong impression, and we offend people.

You might give some thought to this. I know I've caught myself saying things that have offended people, and I've had to apologize, and restate what I've said because I really didn't mean it. My foot just jumped in my mouth!

I wish you the very best, my friend. Please take care and God bless. Hugs, Lee

it's not my body language. it's just people. they don't seem to understand me at all. like i try to work with them and they start to single me out and everything... it's just not working out. i don't like it. i don't appreciate it. they need to know that i am a human being and that i deserve the same respect as they do.
Thanks for this!

sometimes i wish i were caucasian. seems like people respect you much more when you are. nobody wants to mess with you and if you ever pick on minority groups, nobody can blame you, cuhs you're superior to everybody else. sometimes i wish my face was pale and my eyes were either blue, light brown, or hazel. people have made me felt as if we were the most abominable race ever.

People sometimes say rude things like "You can't ...". Being rude in return is not th eanswer. Try to rspectfully prove them wrong, rather than demanding respect by going in their face about your right to believe in yourself. You obviously have this right, but other people have the right ot believe as they please too.

i guess so. i mean, i'm not going to be rude to them. it's just that many times i play these scenarios back and forth in my head and i start to think that maybe i should arrogantly reply to them so that they'll know that i am important as well, but then it's like i can't bring myself to do it.
Thanks for this!

Being arrogant back wouldn't necessarily make them think you're important. I'm sorry you're having to deal with these people. You are important in your own right.

i wouldn't be arrogant back. i would just try to be laid back and all that. i wish i could, but once i get to the actual scene, i don't feel like being angry with them anymore. it's so weird being me. i say things that i just don't mean. how stupid can i be?

heyitsme, don't waste your time or energy arguing with idiots, quietly prove them wrong, eventually they will give up, they only continue because you react... they get a kick out of your reaction. quietly getting on withn doing a good job gets respect far more than arguing which only gets you noticed not respected.
Thanks for this!

That can happen. It's often hard to tell if it's racism, s*xism, or any bigotry or if it's our own misperceptions. But your statement is valid. that can really happen, I know. I struggle with wondering if ppl are judging me because I am female or have a mental illness.

I try to be laid back too. When I am dealing with things and I start getting those bad thoughts or feelings, it can be more of a challenge to feel and act laid back. I am working on it. Often I don't say anything and nothing gets said. But I am always afraid of saying something stupid or mean, too.
