I cant take it anymore

[Liberty Belle]

It's probably a good idea for you to take a break. Seek out people who make you feel good about yourself. It's never good to have low self-esteem. Sometimes when we've been "picked on" a lot, we start to see it in places where it's not really there. Or we tend to over-focus on the instances it still occurs. Neither are good for you.

I hope you are able to find somewhere to help bolster your self-esteem and be yourself.

I am an oversensitive person to and i'm sorry people were mean to you. You seem like a perfectly nice person (who has major talent with legos!) Maybe you should hang out on another board and start "blocking" people who are rude to you.

I don't know you either, but does it really matter what total and complete stangers think? It only matters to me what those closest to me think and what God thinks of me. God made me the way I am, and I would be darned if I would change any of that for anyone else. So you go to Disney with your Mom, big deal, Do you have fun? Do you enjoy going? I assume the answer is yes, so if you enjoy it that is all that really matters. I am 28 years old, and every year we go to Disney with my Dad and stepmom. Now keep in mind that my stepmom is half the age of my dad. EVERY year, without fail, at least 6 people call her my sister and my dad's daughter. And it used to upset me, but now it doesn't matter, we are all happy and that is all that matters. I think family vacations are the best, because I know that some day my parents aren't going to be here any longer. I was almost killed in an accident 5 years ago when the car I was driving slipped on a patch of ice and I went right under a tractor trailer truck, ever since then I don't think what other people think about me. I do the best that I can, and if they don't like it they are free to talk a long walk off of a short pier!!

Trust me, not much! A little something happened around 5 am this morning having to do with another Disney discussion board. Nothing to write home about...and I barely understood it myself.

My question is, for someone who needs a break from the DISboards, why the OP's continuing to lurk? I don't know her from Adam, but I'm honestly concerned a bit about her health.

My thoughts too.

It's a message board full of strangers.

I learned not to let things said here bother me. I got my feelings hurt a couple of times and then stopped, thought about it and realized I don't even KNOW any of these people and THEY don't know ME either!! So who really cares about their opinion anyway?!

FINALLY!! someone else says it besides me!

Your bird is cute! I had a blue parakeet - you couldn't open your purse around her because she'd steal all your coins.

My advice is (FWIW) if you need to take a break, then take a break.

If you want to continue to post, then by all means do so.

Take it all with a grain of salt and live your life to the fullest. Don't worry about what someone else thinks or feels about you. They don't know you personally, and you don't know them either. You don't need to justify who you are, what your hobbies might be, etc.

Live life and be happy. That's all that really matters.

 

[paintnolish]

As several PPs have said, this is a message board full of strangers. As much as you post on here, no one really knows you. How can you take to heart what someone says? Also, message boards give normally meek people the anonimity to say things they normally wouldn't. It is much easier to be snarky with someone when you don't have to face them. Me? I am actually a lot nicer on these boards than I am IRL!
The thing about WDW with your mom? I am almost 31 years old and have been to Disney at least 25 times. The very last trip I made was the first one I made with out my mom. You know what? It made me kind of sad to go with out her! And not just because she pays for everything...

Hi. My birthday is Dec 26th too. I used to hate it being so close to Christmas. My mom would always tell me that if she forgot to buy birthday presents for me, she would just take some of my Christmas presents and re-wrap them!

Please try not to let the comments people make about you on a message board determine your self worth. I've seen many people get their feelings hurt here and on other boards. It's best to just let it go.

I read these boards because I enjoy it. If it wasn't fun for me I wouldn't do it. I tend to just try to go with the flow though. I know if I asked for advice or something then I need to be prepared for comments that I agree with and I don't agree with. The more dramatic posts get the more dramatic responses.

Enjoy yourself. That's all that really matters. You are a valuable person because of how you feel about yourself, not how others feel about you.

Loved your pictures. We are hoping to take DD14 on a dolphin swim, probably at Discovery Cove, in the next year or so. It looked like you had a great time.

The yoda is pretty cool. My DS does Legos, we have all the Harry Potter sets, except the new Hogwart's Castle. We will probably be getting that one next. I am not mechanically inclined, but he lets me play with them when he gets them built!! I always say I am only playing with DD3 and DS2, but it is really for me!

Since I have no building skills....my secret relaxation thing is coloring. I LOVE to color. I thought I was strange, but I found out recently that when my best friend gets stressed, she colors too! She keeps a coloring book and crayons under her mattress.

As far as the comments in high school...teenage girls can be so cruel. I truly hope those words did not color how you see yourself, because honestly, you are a lovely woman.

I take my mom to WDW every year. Not just to spend time with my kids, but because I really enjoy her company. DD14 and I like to do things together too. Her friends think that is strange, but we are very similar, and we "get" each other.

I think I am a pretty weird person. I have a strange sense of humor.....I have even posted about how I entertain myself on occasion by hiding Twinkies in my kids shoes and doing Peep jousting. You are a unique individual. I have OCD and I constantly worry about what people think and second guess myself. That can end up making some posts hurt my feelings and make me question myself.

I have found that what I need to do at those times is take a deep breath....maybe step off the boards for a bit. Then I remind myself that my opinions are just as valid as anyone elses. There is always going to be someone who thinks I am weird, or wrong. I cannot please everyone.

You are right, you are just YOU. We were happy to have you posting on the thread that disappeared. We are back....the subject is "I miss you guys" Come on over and hang with us. We are a little kooky....okay, alot kooky.

I am also sorry to hear that you are sick often. I hope it is nothing too serious and that when you do get ill that you feel better fast.

If you truly need a break, I wish you well, and hope to see you when you return!

And I know you have said he is your favorite, so

some tiggers for you!

 

[Cool-Beans]

It sounds like you've had a rough life. Have you thought about talking this stuff out with a therapist? You shouldn't have to go through life having this stuff popping up for you all the time, even on message boards.

I'm sorry about all your troubles and hope you find some peace.

 

[Goofyluver]

Don't let things people say on here get to you...a few people on these boards take the security of their computer as a free-for-all postathon! They post things that they would never say in real life. I'm not sure what happened, and I'm sorry that you are feeling attacked, but you can't take what people say on here as anything but their own opinion. Only one person on here has ever "offended" me...and that was because they attacked my son. Yea...that got to me, but even then, I had to step back and think: "I don't even know this person...why am I so upset?"

Good luck to you and please don't leave!

 

[kristen821]

Don't let little things like this bother you. If it bothers you that much then I'd say yes take a break for awhile, but realize when you come back some discussion you think are going to be innocent turn pretty heated. Maybe posting under a new name will help.

 

[RitaZ.]

If posting here on the CB is causing you so much grief, then it's probably best to take a break. It's unhealthy to deliberately subject oneself to anything that causes so much stress.

 

[HomeSweetDisney]

Sorry you're having such a tough time of it. Maybe a break is the best thing for you. But just know that it really doesn't matter what anyone here says to you, they don't know the real person behind the screen name. Just try to take things with a grain of salt. I hope you feel better soon and that you don't leave the DIS forever

 

[AC7179]

I have no idea what happened, but I'm sorry you feel like you are being picked on.

I wish people would learn if they didn't have anything nice to say, to just not post anything.

You will be missed if you leave.

I don't know how to quote, but Goofyluver said this "Don't let things people say on here get to you...a few people on these boards take the security of their computer as a free-for-all postathon! They post things that they would never say in real life."

So very very true! And I've done it once (about illegal immigration) and will never do that post-a-thon again. I also agree with the OP who was in a car accident. It is totally unbelievable how 3 seconds can chanage one's life.

Please take care of yourself! Take a break if you need one. Surround yourself with people who think the world of you. And do not take what is posted here by anyone to heart. It's only words on a screen, and that's all they will ever be....unless you let those words on a flat screen become something else.

Pixie dust to you!

 

[BabyTigger99]

Maybe what you really need is a break (but according to the green light I see under your name, you are not taking it).

 

[disneyfav4ever]

I wouldn't listen to what some of these posters say. I had a thread not so long ago, where I was looking for support, since I have issues with my family. Some of the posters started getting really mean, accusing me of making stuff up, etc. The best thing to do is just ignore it.

 

[grlpwrd]

....
I was teased in school , people said things like they would kill themselves if they looked like me and I was hit.etc
My experiences in school led me to not go to college.

I am an oversensitive person, a mush and I take things to heart.
I have a lot of things going on in my life both and I cant share but I thought i'd give you a glimpse into my life.
I may not be normal in your eyes but I am who I am.
