I get the vague impression Karena's ticked off. :\ She posted this in the journal.. (this username is the only currently)



so i'm not always holly jolly cheery. bite me. the reality of the situations just keep stacking up and it's getting overwhelming. i feel like i am expected to be the smiley one because they tell me i'm the smiley one that laughs all the time. i don't. i don't laugh all the time. i'm actually upset quite a bit, but i smile and hold it together for the others. i can't do it right now. i'm bothered. over the course of the past 7 months, we've been called a variety of names. including "nuts", "annoying with a good imagination", "crazy". i'm sure you get the picture. it's bullshit. we're not. and we're tired of being told so.

do you have any idea what it's like to already question your sanity on a daily basis then have to put up with people who claim to be friends to question it also? so she didn't know we were here until recently, that's how it happens more often than not. she's not crazy and neither are we. we're just as valid as you are sitting there in front of your computer judging us.

we don't mind comforting her after someone calls her some b-s- name, but we'd prefer not to have to do it on a daily basis. ideally, people would be more open minded about things, but i guess that'd be too much to ask of some of you pea brains.

oh well, i guess we'll just keep comforting her until she gets wiser and shuts you a-holes out (not everyone, just the a-holes) or until you stop being a-holes.

over and out, karena



I don't know what to do. I've tried explaining to her that a lot of the situations now aren't permanent. They'll ease up once we get into a better mental state and physical location.. but it doesn't seem to make a lot of difference.

Folks gotta vent sometimes. :/

Are you all actively changing things? Talk with K about it - she may have some ways to speed things up or make the plan better.

sometimes people don't have the clearest understanding of how to apply healthy boundaries. especially toward people they care about. it is better to start readjusting relationships before someone inside gets fed up enough to come out long enough to ensure relationships are permanantly changed :P

Sanity is overrated.

heh, i would go as far as to say sanity is an undefined state, and as such, there is no such thing as a sane person :P

Sounds like y'all might need to give these supposed friends a boot up the bum.

Or, more politely put :P ask them not to question things all the time.

Your feelings are important. You must respect yourself and one another.

I would agree with everyone who said that you're probably better off without these 'friends.' It's true that some people need time to get used to the idea, and some people who are doubtful at first change their opinion after getting to know you as individual people with distinct qualities, but when they keep up accusations of your being insane for months on end... well, I'm sorry to say I wouldn't consider such people to be my friends.
