You get used to it.

At least you want to change. I'm pretty much scared to death of medication at this point, even though it would probably help. I'm not sure why, since I didn't used to mind in the least.

You do get use to it fast. The nothing you can do about it kind of helps with that.

Stupid juvenile people acting as if the world is still Highschool.

So, I was working a Saturday 2 weeks ago, and one of my female friends was there. I thought we were joking around, and she called me gay in a round about way, so, in return, I jokingly added that she was a bitch.

Now, I can see that someone might not like being called that, even in jest. That's not what i'm annoyed about, because if she had said anything to the fact that I had offended her, I would have apologized profusely and sincerely.

But she didn't.

Instead, the next week when I try to talk to her, she's kinda ok, but says that she needed to talk less when working. Nothing that sent up immediate alarms. However, as the week progressed, she began to treat me like I didn't even exist. I'd help her with something out of the blue, or say hi, and she'd completely ignore me.

And by this time I had completely forgot about the exchange, and I asked her if I had done something. She said no, that she was fine. Now, come today, I find out she's been talking crap about me and ranting to people all week about me, and even deleted me from myspace.

I'm caught between seriously pissed and unendingly amused. And its a strange place to be.

I mean, I could honestly have understood if I offended her, though I never meant to. That's just how my family and friends are. The 'b-word' is used in an affectionate harassment sort of way decently often, so I don't think about it as something hugely negative unless its used with that express purpose.

But.. why would you treat someone like crap, and when they make an actual effort to find out what they did wrong and make amends for it, tell them they didn't do anything while continuing to hold a grudge and talk to people as if i'm some jerk who just insulted you for kicks?

I don't get it. We're not in highschool any more. Why are people so incapable of growing up?

I'm being forced on meds for one thing for 2 years. I don't know how the other thing will be able to be resolved.

I take mine for ADD, and I can safely say that were it not for Adderall I would likely be going to a second-rate state school and pulling around a 2.something GPA with a prospective future as a second rate something, rather than attending the most prestigious college in my state with a 3.65 GPA and a prospective future as an interventional cardiologist.

Now, on the other hand, I have a friend that chooses not to take medication for his ADD, but who will do great things in life (primarily by virtue of his natural genius).

They also tried to give me some for my habit of killing cats, but that only made me wear them like fedoras, so that stopped sharpish.

I took pills for depression for about a year. I also have mild brain damage, sensory overflow, and sensory disfuction. I was also labled mildly autistic as a child. Both of my hands involuterily copy the other one. And dispite all that. I play MUDS!

She sounds emotionally re... stunted, to put it politely

At least you people have meds! There's no cure for being a sociopath.

Pulling an all-nighter and having my sleep cycle completely and totally messed up as a result.

Spent days building a trebuchet that fired 100-140m during first semester for my independant project, let my physics teacher keep it for the year as an example for second semester, and found out custodians "accidently" threw it out when I returned at the end of the school year to pick it up.

Nice.

You should build another one and start shelling their houses.

Let me add "with parts of dead domesticated work animals".

And failed cooking experiments involving gorgonzola

Tada!

I know what you mean though. And you really do get used to it. It juusstt takkes a little while. (This largely depends on what your issues are, though.)

I ran over a toad with my car!!

Poor little hoppy toad, won't hop no more.

Noola, you'd LOVE queensland. Running down cane toads, leaving them in the sun to dry, then using them as a frisbee is the state sport.

I hate Queensland. Frogs, however, are oh so cute and left alone.

Edit: Oh, I remember that some places were offering bounties on dead cane toads. They're like a plague in some parts of the state, I know one pub was offering beer for 10 canetoads. Or maybe it was one.

Wow, I really strongly dislike people like that, just reading about it irks me Maybe it was just her time of month. But if your friendship with her was that easily discarded, perhaps it's not even worth bothering.

I love frogs and toads. They're cute. Poor silly thing, must have been sitting right behind my wheel!
