Sorry you are getting flashbacks from being bullied at your old job. I presume these horrible people are out of your life for good now and you may hopefully move onto better things with nicer people around you. Watching a comedy or any form of distraction is good thing to do when you have thoughts of self harm. Look after yourself Pink Lady.

I’ll do it later

I hope are feeling a little better after you accident Rebka?
I hope you weren’t on your own when you climbed the ladder and were trying to drag the tree down from the attic. If you hit your head quite hard and the sickness and pain in your head, neck and jaw is still painful then you should have it checked out with the Doc, just to be on the safe side x

I feel a bit useless. I'm trying to work out why it is I have such a hard time starting essays. Today is deadline day (I've already wasted a four week extension) and while I've at least looked at the question this time, I still haven't started. Maybe it's a confidence issue. Or a fear of failure. Or simply just bone idleness

Well, even if i contact them and receive a happy and polite response it might just mean that they’ve forgiven me off sorts but it won’t stop me feeling bad that I may have upset them in the first place!
I hope you manage to find the motivation to start on your essay, Kooky Monster. I would reckon your reluctance to start is a combination of a lack of confidence and a fear of failure, definitely not laziness! I used to be the same when I had to write long essays for the OU. I’d always leave it to the last minute as it felt so daunting. Breaking it down into smaller chunks sometimes helped . Good luck!

I have no idea but all I can say is try not to overthink too much and I know that's hard to as i'm guilty of it myself x.

Thanks Purplesnarf.

Maybe the guy you think doesn’t like you is just shy with you and you’re interpreting his lack of friendliness as not liking you when he may indeed like you or at least be indifferent to you. Or if he actually doesn’t like you then he’s an idiot and a

to him !

Ps. Am going to google egocentricist or whatever it is, to see what one of those is. I’m pretty sure you’re not one though!!!!

Aww, thanks NW
Well, I have really upset people in the past, not intentionally but nonetheless they believed it was intentional

Sometimes I struggle to find the right words and things come out the wrong way. My hubby wasn’t being unkind when he said I was being an egocentrist. I think he was just trying to say that not everything is about me. When someone is upset, or this that and the other, I automatically think it’s because of something that I’ve done when in reality such people probably barely notice my existence let alone given me a moments thought.
