I didn't wanna go a shouting about it when I first landed cos people treat you differently... haven't even told the few people I PM regularly...
I'm very much ashamed of not being able to "get a grip"
Professur said:Being ashamed changed nothing. You need to change something. Change it, and you might find that people will treat you different. Don't bank on it. Some of us have very long memories. Ask fury sometime about my opinion of the Bomb Shelter.
As it is, most of the people you're thinking of as friends are only cheering you on.

what happens after the 22nd?
Gonz said:If I understand the situation correctly...
I say someting you think is an insult, but it's not, you get pissed. You say something that will elicit a number of smartass remarks, and does, you get pissed. You say something that is insulting tho the rest of us, we get pissed & you don't see a problem?
Maybe I need the meds.
ClaireBear said:No... its not like that... thats not what I mean...![]()
Professur said:Perhaps it's not what you mean. But it's exactly what you type.
Ditto. Except instead of Sod off, Fuck off. Just cause you appreciate it so.unclehobart said:I always gave you the benefit of the doubt through all of your trials and tribulations... until now. You claim how childish, retarted, and sad the whole lot of us are when it is perhaps 6 people out of the 30 that are here giving you grief. That is insulting. Then you return with this snotty 'holier than thou attitude', look down your nose at us, and tell us what you claim we are not worthy to hear. If you think you are not welcome and you also think that we are also unworthy children... why bother posting it at all? Do you think we will come running back to you with our arms open begging for forgiveness while your spittle still freshly runs down our cheek? I think an equally cold shoulder shall be my response. I for one was neutral on your presence and did not go out of my way to give you grief. I... we... have been repayed with group condemnation. Go be a boor elsewhere. Sod off. *dismissive wave*

Literary problem? WTF is a literary problem? It's a learning disability.ClaireBear said:An English lecturer at University suggested that my written performance would lend itself to a literary problem such as dyslexia
Misdiagnosis? So someone diagnosed that you did not have dyslexia?which due to misdiagnosis I have consistantly struggled with all my school life
Only until you want to use it as an excuse that is?I wasn't tested as its never really held me back
That is some great teacher! She tells you she thinks you have a learning disability but you are not worth the time to find out for sure and learn how to deal with it. At the beginning of your college career.and at 19 she thought it would hardly be worth it.
Being a teacher does not automatically make you a professional on diagnosing dyslexia. Until you get professionally tested and have a diagnosis from a qualified professional in your hand, stop calling yourself a dyslexic. It's insulting.So I'm going from a professional's untested opinion... if that offends you... then I apologise.
I, personally, don't wonder. It's your own imagination and need to blame others for your own mistakes. You made your bed, now lie in it. At least if you owned up to ANYTHING, you could save some face. But you seem only willing to point fingers at everyone else.And people wonder where I get the persecution complex from...

Like leslie has said before, you should quit digging yourself a hole. Quit while you're behind.
Are you really that clueless? Or do you just refuse to believe that anything is your fault? Or are you doing all of this - everything - for your own enjoyment?ClaireBear said:GF... you were so nice... what happened?![]()
STOP repeating what you've been told until you know it to be true. That is my point. If I told you you had AIDS, would you tell everyone it was true because I told you?I'm only repeating what I've been told...If that upsets you then I'm sorry... but you're only shooting the messenger...

It's all you Claire. The sooner you realize that, the better.
