This week I decided that I want to interact with others as little as possible. Right now, I feel very frustrated because I am so misunderstood. I don't think it's the most mature thing to close everyone out of my life because I'm annoyed, but I do feel like my most important relationships are to myself and God. Those two are the only ones that I really need and that will never fail me. I should not be distracting myself with discomfort about trying to get people to see eye to eye with me when I should be focusing on allowing myself to grow. I am truly emotionally uncomfortable, and I don't think it would be a problem if I had more time to myself so that is my goal this week. Be strong on my own and then I can reach out to others. Wish me luck.

Good luck. By the way, this is your blog so I think you should continue (as you do) to say anything you want, even if it's personal.
ReplyDeleteI can completely relate to what you're saying. I can't really give you any advice, but that's only because I'm in the same predicament you are. I'm not a huge fan of people...i like dogs and things that can't speak english--so foreign people work every once in a while.
One thing I have learned though is that it's natural to be annoyed/frustrated with the present goings, but almost everybody feels they're misunderstood. It's not the responsibility of others to understand you; you have to make yourself understood to others.
This advice is pretty shitty though because I don't follow any of it and usually just end up in a corner in my room by myself feeling misunderstood.

p.s. I hope this didn't catch you off-guard; I was just interested in reading somebody elses thoughts for a change instead of over analyzing my own.
