You want attention-whoring? Okay.

[apocalypsos]

My Facebook friends fall into three categories -- people I knew in high school, people I've worked with the past few years, and relatives. LOTS of relatives. Not my parents, though.

There's a birthday party tomorrow for my cousin. I'm not planning on going, but a lot of my relatives are, including my parents.

I just posted this on Facebook:

JFC, if I were "looking for attention," I would probably pick something a liiiiittle less stressful and painful than hyperventilating myself through a panic attack alone in my parents' kitchen.

They're going to have a LOT of fun at that party tomorrow.

Good for you...sometimes fighting dirty and fighting back is the only way to get through it.

People who say "oh, she only is doing it for the attention" are people who are too lazy, inconsiderate, or self centered to try actually getting to the root of the problem and helping.

More power to you.

And breathe. We got your back.

This, yes -- people who are really quick to write off cries for help as attention-whoring and don't want to know if there are any underlying issues they should actually care about.

You know that's what I've noticed about my parents too.

I don't complain a lot, or really talk about my feelings at all. But once in a blue moon when I do, they always make me feel like I'm whining and being a crybaby and that I should just get over it. It's extremely annoying, Gee do you think maybe that's the reason why I'm emotionally stunted and have no real attachment to my family?

It really sucks that all of this shit seems to be happening to you all in a row. But I hope your life settles down and you can de-stress.

A gift!



Listen to this with headphones on. It has been blowing my mind for DAYS.

I love Elbow so much.

Oh, dude, that is PERFECT for the one playlist I'm throwing together for my one story.

Lulz! Seriously, faking hyperventilation often causes real hyperventilation, and you weren't exactly faking an elevated pulse rate. (Insert Hannibal Lechter joke here.) Take care, I hope some time away calms everything down.

I think "she's doing it for the attention" is a lazy way to deal with a real problem. If that's the problem, they won't actually have to be arsed to deal with it or fix it or *do anything but be smug*

Anyway, this is why I'm not on Facebook. Heaven forbid my relatives find me!
