> I think I can assume by the lack of responses that there are a lot of people who don't particularly like me. It's ok, at least I think it's ok.
I'll tell you that your assumption is wrong. I was very busy when you posted.
It is a cognitive distortion to try and measure your "good" in a community. You cannot ever know that. It is a false metric.
You are a member of the community. Period. Good is not an issue. And I'm not trying to side-step answering you. "Good?" has no answer.
> Today wasn't a very good day. My uncle is opening this fast food restaurant and my Mom has promised him that I would work as the cashier. I don't want to work in fast food! I didn't go to university to work in a fast food place! If they make me work there, I'd rather die. I'm a little desperate now...I'm supposed to go in for training maybe this weekend...I don't want this job!
Speak up. To your uncle. Give him a chance to select another candidate. He probably thinks he's doing you a favour. In any case, I don't think you are a good match for the job, right now. You have other, more personal things, to attend to.
> I'm tired of having to talk with my mom, she is annoying me. Today I pretended to go out with friends just to get away from her. I just kept riding the bus. I don't know how to escape from my life.It may sound bizarre to you, but maybe becoming a voluntary psych patient is a solution? You get a safe environment, three good (well sometimes) meals a day, free meds, you don't do the dishes, etc. and you can get involved in a variety of therapy/self-management programs.
> I want to make a request...a just in case request. If I die one day and the authorities start snooping around and happen to find this place, can I trust you guys that my identity will be protected? I just don't want anyone to know my thoughts, esp. my family. It would mean a lot to me. Thanks.Your anonymity is totally protected here, in any case.
