Well my personal stress is the lack of communication I can have with my family; especially lately. Occasionally certain topics are brought while talking and I'm always forced to keep my mouth shut and be evasive in our conversations. An example is my choice to not believe in God; My parents would most likely throw me out of the house if they found that out. :( While they arn't religious, they still find ideas like that unappealing. I suppose this problem wouldn't be so bad if I had someone else to talk to, but as it stands my social life is next to nothing. I have two friends I've kept since I graduated, I severed all ties with everyone else and the two friends I do have arn't exactly the people you have deep conversations with or express your feelings to. The religious thing was just an example, there are pleanty of other things I don't tell my family. *sigh* Is it like this for all teens? I know I only have to put up with them for the two years of community college, then I'm gone, but I was hoping I wouldn't have to put a facade on for my own family. ???

I know how you feel, I really never have anyone to talk to people about my problems, I think that's why I am so stressed. No one is ever there for me, I try my best and the recent actions going on I really dont care for life. My friend Matt is someone who I can talk to but I feel sorry for him, and being interested in girls it's kinda hard for me I am always shy but I have had good relationships.

Family = Ultimate Stress Giver.

You know how your parents tell you all that bullcrap about "You can tell me anything" and all. That is a big lie. My mom would have a heartattack if she heard half the crap I did, and then I'd be kicked out of the house and all. My mom was sheltered as a kid so she thinks she has the right to do it to me, but luckily my dad is very lenient to limits, so it evens out to around 2 - 3 AM curfew at age 17. I only have to put up with 6 more months of living here and then I'm out. I'm tired of being under my family's wings, I need to get out on my own. I feel if I do, I'll get a better taste of life. I'm close to NO ONE in my family, as I have no one to talk to. I'm building something up with my 20 year old brother, mostly due to maturity, but still has borders, if you know what I mean. I'm privledged to have good friends, I feel I get more love from them than my family. There is one person I can talk to, and she is my BEST friend if the whole world, and the problem is is that I think I'm in love with her but I don't want to act on it as I'm afraid if I do, I #### up out relationship. Life is a tricky *******...

EDIT - Can't forget about a chick I got preg and she is 4 months thru it. I haven't told my parents and don't plan on it. I should be out of my house close when the baby is born, and if the girl lets me take care of it, I will, but odds are against me. I feel bad about getting her preg, it was a Hit N' Run relationship type thing, but I guess I blew it. The normal black sheep of the family I suppose.

While your parents may seem like dicks now, as you get older you'll realise their value. *I left home pretty early so I didn't get to know my parents that much, not that I wanted to. *Unfortunately my old man died before I even had a chance to get to know him as a human being, let alone as my father. *There are [gut wrenching] times when I would do anything just to have the opportunity to sit down and have a beer with him. They're your parents, no one elses, and it's perfectly ok to say to them 'How does get f*cked sound?'

On the view of not telling people things. I did that for many years. I carried around so much anger, it made me ill. Everyone thought I was a happy go lucky kid, no-one knew what my home life was like.

It only came out one basketball practice, my mum and been yelling and threatening to hit me for two days straight. I pulled myself together and went to practice. When my coach put his hand on my shoulder I ran out crying and collapsed in a heap.

He left someone else in charge and took time to listen to me. Everything came pouring out and it felt so good! He told me that just from knowing me a year, he knew I wasn't the person my mum said I was and that I was much loved and that I shouldn't listen to what she said and I should start to love myself abit.

I got more confident at basketball, and more confident in life. I started to tell my friends what I had gone thru and they have been great. Talking about how you feel is a very healthy thing and good thing to do. So if you do have someone to talk to do it. If you don't, then talk to us here.

((((((HUGS)))))) Y'all!!!

I know about parents peeps. My mum is one pretty screwed up individual. Very controlling, very angry, very scary. Until I was 18 I'd get beat for not eating meat off a plate, or little petty things like that. One of my worst memories, is when my mum came home from parents evening. She yelled and screamed at me telling me I was everything from dumb to fat. When she finally got the result she wanted and I was bawling my eyes out to the point I was gonna be sick (I was about 7) She calmly told me the teachers had given me a great report and walked out of the room. Life was pretty much like that till I was 18 and I finally hit back. I had to spend a week at my Uncle and Aunts house. My mum ended up goin for a knife. My dad had taken a beating meant for me on his arm, she'd been using a bicycle pump and my dads arm was black!!!

My husband tells me I'm like a kicked dog, I go back for more. In a way I guess I'm right. While mum doesn't hit, she's still great on mental torture. At the moment we hope we're nearly at the end of my visa stuff, and I'll be able to move to the States soon. (My husband is from Michigan) Now I got married in the States and as the law stands I could have stayed in the country and just got my status adjusted. Now why didn't I? Because when I talked to my mum on my wedding day she was talking about killing herself. So I came back to offer her support. Although she says it had nothing to do with her, and I'm selfish and I didn't come back for her!
My dad left her a year ago, for someone around my age, they had a baby in March. My mum is showing no signs of moving on.
She doesn't even blame my dad, she blames my nan and my uncle for breaking up her marriage. She says its up to me if I still want to talk to my dads family or my dad. But when I have spoke to them in the past, she's told me to go to America and talk to them and to forget about her, because by talking to them I've betrayed her and I'm dead to her and any kids I have won't be her grandkids cause I'm dead to her.

I'm mad at my dad and my nan too, because they have lied to me. But I would I think, like to see my nan and grandad before I go. I didn't know my grandparents on my mums side too well, as they were from Mauritius and I rarely saw them.

Both my dads parents are poorly and I'd like to be on good terms with them. I told them to go to hell. Which made my mum happy (Although I still get accused of talking to them and my dad) I get interrogated tons of times a day! I feel like I'm in a prison camp. But while I was over in America, my nan and grandad, sent me a birthday card. My mum sent it back and then told me what she'd done!!!!

ARGHHHHHHHHHH It makes you want to tear your hair out. I can't wait to be out of this country and away from my family!!!!

Of course it helps that my hubby and his family are fantastic!!!!

Thanks Darth Lara and all who gave HUGS! As a parent I have read all of the above and will keep it in mind, and as always, I try to raise my other kids the best way I know how. Being somewhat of a kid myself (who am I kidding, I am a HUGE kid) I think my relationships with them will hopefully transcend the usual parent/child crap.

I know where you're comming from. I can't take it anymore my parents think that I'm depressed cause I don't get enough sleep cause they drag out of bed every damn morning cause they make me go to swim team at 6:15.

And now my best friend is going to a different school next year and she's one of the reasons that I'm still sane living in the household that I do.

Hi Lara (((HUGS)))

Yea believe me Meche I can't wait to get away from the stress. Mum still has quite the hold. SHe reiterated earlier on, that if I want to speak to my Nan then fine, but then my mum doesnt want anything to do with my if I do.

God its disgusting she can still put a hold on me!

(((HUGS))))) Android, losing a kid has got to be really tough.

(((HUGS)))) Jedi Bendu, I'm sorry you never got resolution with your father.

((HUGS))) Darth Vicious, I hope things get a bit easier and clearer for you soon.

((HUGS)))) Count Dooku, well you have peeps here you can talk to!!!

((((HUGS)))) Vyndim, I think we all have to put on facades in regards to parents, unfortunatley.

It's kinda strange to say it but it is true. You seem to connect to the ones your don't know a whole lot about. The best love you can get is new love from someone you just met. Thanks all, the message boards are my way out of the real world of hate and into the new of love.

I am glad people posted here, it helps alot. I live with my father, but my Mom never see's me she lives 10 miles from me and never see's me, and sometimes I get into a fight with her. My Dad sometimes pisses me off, I know how everyone feels and it hurts. I feel the same I dont have a close family member, not even my parents. I just leave it inside me, and suffer. Now I totally missed that girl she left today, life sucks. Sometimes Life means nothing to me.

Sorry to hear that JediBendu. Even though I live with my father and we get into argument and all that stuff, I should be proud to have a father. I just hate it he is overprotected, I wanna do things I wanna do, he get's pissed when I smoke, drink, have sex I am 18 and I think I will do what I feel like, I know I have to drop some habbits especially smoking but I want to do things I want to do I am 18 years old.

Boys and girls and aliens... Here is your lesson for the week.

Don't always believe what you read online.

Though we do have many friends here, I personally know most of the people from all three forums that merged here. But... there is always one who thinks the internet is his/her personal playland and decides it would be cool to play some mind games to entertain themselves.

I first noticed it in this thread, then quickly realized he'd been doing it for a month. Count Dooku, Tyranus, Lord Sidious, and Darth Maul, along with 7+ other usernames are all the same person.

On one hand, I hate to see him go, he started many great threads and kept conversations going. On the other hand, he's gone... bye-bye... happy trails... he directly deceived the people in this thread, and mind games will not be allowed in this forum. Anyone else posting with more than one username will be banned.

The stress thread is now open for business. Why? Because sometimes real life needs to be discussed, too.

Speaking of stress... :hmmm:

DarthLara, this is the STRESS thread so you have every right to express your stress, but what you wrote is not entirely accurate:
My stress: my boyfriend of three years dumped me like a hot potato!!!!! I'm going to another state to do my masters degree and I told him this because I wanted him to follow me, but instead of fighting for our relationship he sent me a really nasty email telling me that our relationship was over. This was not a casual relationship - we were engaged, I'm 30 he's 35 - Instead of fighting for us he decided to remain at home feeling miserable and lost in his own little world.
A hot potato is something you throw away quickly. *I waited for you for a very long time and this potato, myself, grew cold waiting in vain. *You made it sound like you were with me, as in the same city or home, and I left you because you wanted to leave here to go somewhere else. *But you didn't include that I haven't seen you in over a year, nearly a year and a half, and that for the last 3 years you had been stating that you were planning to move to Florida, only for those plans to change. *You didn't include that even before I gave you a ring our plan was for you to move here last summer and live with me, but that after I asked you to marry me that was postponed until last January. *Then in December I learned that January was not going to happen, and you promised me you would live here this summer for sure. *Then in May it became "I'm going to NY instead and I want you to disregard my promises to move to Florida, drop everything, and with money you don't have just move to NY." *You never came here like you said many times, and then I found that you never planned to from the beginning, and I grew tired of waiting in vain for something never meant to happen.

Quite the opposite with Tovor and me, when something he couldn't handle came up he skeddadled!
I couldn't handle not seeing you for a year and a half. *I got fed up with waiting for something you admitted was never going to happen. *It appears to me that it was you who "skeddadled" by heeding your parents and not returning to me. *Like you wrote, "our beautiful relationship ended the day my parents met you"; although it took you over a year to reveal that to me. *So that was my stress, not being good enough for your parents or for you. *We were Jack and Rose, and our relationship sunk like the Titanic.

Rebel Astromech Droid, I KNOW what you mean. * A couple months ago I almost didn't get to go to the concert I had been waiting for for many many years. *My favorite band doesn't exist anymore, plus half their members have passed on. *They're old men and so it's not like they do continuous touring. *So when I heard Paul McCartney was going to be in concert I immediately got off my duff and figured out how to get tickets off ticketmaster and was totally ready. *I got tickets, only to be betrayed by Ticketmaster. *I spent hours waiting on the help line trying to clear things up and when they finally said there was absolutely nothing they could do, I was in complete despair. *Words cannot describe the emotions I was going through. *I mean, who knows if Paul is ever going to tour again? *If he gets the luck of John and George, he might die before he gets the chance.

I was about to have a heart attack when my mind cleared and I looked online for other tickets. *They were twice as expensive, but in a slightly better spot, and I was willing to pay double price.

((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))) *The only consolation I can give is at least you'll be somewhere fun to distract you. *If I had missed the concert, it would have just been a regular school day, and I would have cried my eyes out the whole time. *A trip to Hawaii isn't a terrible alternative to a concert.

I just read what Blizzard said in the other Meditation room, and I'm going to re-post my original problem here.
I really need to meditate and get a hold of myself. I run away with my imagination (in a bad way) and it's going to drive me all the way downhill and out of where I want to be.

Let me explain: Exactly a year ago, I was involved in my first relationship ever. I was kinda late, as I didn't get a boyfriend until my Senior year in high school. But oh well. So yeah this was last year, and it being my first relationship, I was extremely..um.. clingy. I thought of my boyfriend every waking minute, and cried myself to sleep every night he didn't call me when I asked him to. I was absolutely terrible. He went away to Japan for a month, I had no contact (he could have sent me an e-mail but he didn't) and I spent that month in agony, just waiting for the day when he would return. He came back and wanted basically nothing to do with me. I spent another couple weeks crying myself to sleep before I told myself I had to stop. So I broke up with him (well, really i just stopped contating him all together and he certainly didn't contact me). I healed and considered myself a better person for it.

The trouble now is: I hope i'm not going overboard AGAIN. While I think the major blame for last time was the guy treating me badly, and that just made it worse, but a lot of it was me just going nuts and expecting too much and imagining things that weren't there. There's even LESS reason for me to be imagining things, my guy is wonderful, but I'm slipping again and I almost cried today because he forgot to call me. What a dork I am!!!!!!

Any ideas for letting go of my anxiety and not letting little things get to me?

In regards to that post, I think I'm being silly. My new boyfriend is in no way like my previous one. He really did call, but my dad was on the phone and ignored the call waiting beep, and we just spent two days with each other and had a great time.

The STUPID thing is that despite this, I will probably eventually get all emotional AGAIN for some stupid reason and think he doesn't love me anymore or he's forgotten me or something equally as silly. HELP!!! Make it stop!!!

They swoon over the typical jock all the time. They could actually hang out with guys who have charm and a razor-sharp wit, but superficiality always seems to win out in the end. I actually think the divorce rates would take a drastic drop if people would try to find a partner they enjoy being around as well as one commited to making the relationship work.

I've crossed two trains of thought, but Nietche had the only solution being to realisation of the loop you were in. Only then can you break it.
Karma's got you coming back in your next life to make up for your mistakes in the first.

The lesson's keep coming until you die. Whether we learn from them or not is up to us but the same lesson will keep smacking you over the head until you finally get it.

Anyway - I'm not allowing myself to stress over anything. Life's way too short.
shame about the cash though...

Polunis

I understand the feeling about cash; it is a nice tool to have around. I wish your situation was better, but it doesn't seem to be any fault of your own. This woman must be unprincipled.

I try not to worry about matters, but it is still a difficult struggle. Intellectually, I am fully aware that worrying is a fruitless, destructive behavior, but the emotional part of me seems to be preoccupied with what is wrong rather than what is right. Sometimes we have to unlearn what we have learned; that sounds vaguely familiar. style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif

Ok there!! hehe

Yeah we women are not all that bad. I think it's probably pretty even with both sexes. All of us have to wade through all the idiots before finding someone compatible. It also helps you grow, teaches you how to cope. The goal of any relationship should be to help yourself and your partner become a better person. Learn from your mistakes!!

Hopefully I won't make any mistakes this time around, I really like my current boyfriend, he's the best one yet. However I hope I don't get too attached because I don't know if he's had any other girlfriends and eventually he might want to try someone new. I'm trying not to get too attached but it's hard when we have so much fun together!!!

As one who has experience of divorce (my parents getting divorced, not me, i'm only 19) i'd like to say one thing. I don't find it a coincidence that the rise in divorce rates has coincided with the rise in household pets.

Mara and Nerf, thanks girls! you gals can email me whenever you want :)

Bendu, the question is finding out what is that mistake, some ppl are just too blind to notice their own mistakes so they feel sorry for themselves. They are in Plato's cave.

I lost the love of my life...he just left. I'm so angry that I keep taking cheap shots at him although that hurts me too. He said no woman would ever replace me in his heart...yeah, that's the kind of sweet person he is. I adore him and something inside me wants to fight for him even though he doesn't want to fight for me.

Not all girls are the same. I had to return an engagement ring.

Do allow me to clarify. I am by no means suggesting that women are worse than men; quite frankly, I think some men have a real problem with relating to others. I just think some women could choose a spouse that they could actually live with. The men I see some of them choosing are just not going to be satisfactory husbands.

The male/female divide will never be crossed while gender stereotypes are being re-enforced throughout society. Billboards, tv, bus stops all contribute but it's your parents (who've been taught the same way by theirs) which are primarily responsible.
People rush in and get married at a young age because that's what they've been told to do, it's what is expected of them, and they're made to feel slightly ostracised if they don't. How many tv shows are there which promote particular societal norms or an ideal family structure?
People don't take the time to get to know each other - for sure. But they spend even less time getting to know themselves, let alone someone else. Serial monogomy! :crazy:

hey Meche - congrats on the elevation to Mod! Orange looks good on you :p

Polunis

07-17-2002, 12:44 AM

I don't know if it has to do with gender stereotypes, but that could be a factor; I think people are just ignorant of others, and even more ignorant of themselves, as you observed. I think people need to take issues such as marriage seriously or else they are doomed to fail.

JediBendu

07-17-2002, 12:55 AM

gender roles are enforced before a kid's 6! A girl is already wearing dresses, boys know they're not suppose, long/short hair.
Thankfully it's not total otherwise we'd still look like society back in the 50s.

sorry I can't take marriage seriously, other than a legal document which may have some tax benefits.

Jedi_Zachaa

07-17-2002, 01:11 AM

Bendu, what do you mean you can't take marriage seriously? I don't understand your statement.

I definitely think that people need to not be pressured to get married. I think rushed relationships are the reason why we have 50% divorce rates. It's sad. I mean, sure sometimes it works. That's wonderful!! But a lot of times, it doesn't, and a lot of people's lives are changed forever.

I plan to not marry until my mid twenties, and hopefully I will have known the guy for at least a year. During our engagement we should probably try to live together so I know we can handle it. If we get married and then decide to live together and find out it doesn't work... that would be terrible. I also want to have a clear career on my OWN. I never want to be helplessly dependent upon anyone. I have to be able to get a job on my own and be able to support myself before I marry. That way if anything happens, I will be able to get along by myself. And, lastly, I plan not to do anything stupid. I.E., I plan to abstain for a long time. College would be the absolute worst time (except for high school) to become pregnant, so I'm going to avoid the issue altogether and do the only foolproof thing.

Of course, things almost never go along with the plan. We'll see what happens.

We have a legal term known as 'defacto' - if you've been living together for at least 6mths you can apply for it. It's for people who just don't believe in 'marriage' but are in a pair-bond relationship.

Mid 20s! Jedi_Zachaa!
wait till your mid 30s - it's not as though you don't have time. I think some gender roles are pretty engrained.

Don't assume all women are the same because you see the women you want drooling over jocks. That's your own personal experience. I have never once dated a jock, they don't turn me on in the least.

That's true - apparently couples who don't argue are being rejected as parents for adoptees because they don't have any conflict resolution ability.

Also, I've noticed my parents get annoyed with me when I act myself. With that, I mean when I start to voice my thoughts and say things they don't want to hear. *It's just so hard to keep up a facade for so long. *I guess this wouldn't be so bad if I had someone to talk to and act myself, but the few friends I do have, really arn't the kind you do that with. *So I'm pretty alone as it is, surrounded by people who don't really know "me". *sigh* I just can't wait until I can move out and forget about all of them. *Just two more years left, which will be spent enrolled in community college, then I'm gone.

besides, there's always the Senate :yoda:

I'm getting a little bit stressed out over the job I do. I'm in IT but not the glamorous 'I work for Microsoft' or 'I design SW games'. There's another side of IT that no one wants to get into but somehow find themselves in. These are the people who design weapons systems for military contracts, people who design traffic light controlling systems etc etc. My last contract was for a casino corp who's sole purpose is to fleece millions of dollars out of the economy in what amounts to state sponsored addiction, all to the euphamism of 'gaming'. I've contributed to the suffering of someone spending their rent money on a machine that will never give it back - and I told the machine not to!
But THIS contract is something else again. One of the critical success factors is the removal of 43 FTE's. Another painful anacronym describing a human being. I'm working on something that at a minimum will cause 43 people to loose their jobs. They're aiming for 200 people to be made redundant :angry:

Where I come from, it's quite easy to lose one's temper before a family member, causing many an ugly incident. *Yet each time, after a day or two, we wind up forgiving each other, and relations then normalize until someone starts something else with somebody.

Being a teenager can suck sometimes Vyndim, i know exactly how you feel. Its understandable that your sister and brother-in-law boast about their daughter, i'm sure most parents do that, but you have to start thinking about the positive things in your life. And i'm guessing that your niece is younger than you, so in that respect she hasn't experienced the trauma of teenagers yet. One part of being a teenager is being told how other people are better than you. I went to an all boys secondary school where sport and getting girls were all important. I was ok at sport and pretty crap with girls but i've always thought to myself about the positive things - i was cleverer than most of the other boys and got on with almost everybody.

About your parents getting annoyed when you act yourself. This is natural also (although i'm not sure to which degree they get annoyed). I've had nothing but 8 years of nagging from my mum because i'm very relaxed (read lazy) and seem to not get worried about anything. I don't stress at all and leave things to the last minute and because my mums the complete opposite, she can't help but moan. That has caused many an argument over the years.

I'm going to uni in September and although i'm really looking forward to having my freedom and not having anyone moaning at me constantly, i stress that no-one should wish to get completely away from their parents. My dad left home when i was 6 and i grew up without a dad. Up until about a year ago it always brings sad thoughts to my mind when i saw my friends at home happily with their dads. It'll be great to get away from my family but just remember, you never know what you've got until you've lost it.

And not being able to talk to anyone is a major problem. I've learnt to channel my emotions and express my feelings. I used to be in a band so i wrote songs which just got it all out. Now i write scripts and usually they're driven by emotion. Not everyone can do this but it is a great emotion reliever. I would love to talk directly to people and just get everything out but until i can afford a psychiatrist its not going to happen.

Good luck.

SHE WAS ABOUT TO LET ME BE THE ONE LEFT OUT. haha but guess what, some dude from the guy's tennis team convinced her to put me on. well... she said to me... don't be giving off any of those cheesy shots of yours... and if you lose i swear i will beat you up. SHE SAID THAT TO ME. she acted like she was joking, but what kind of joke is that. she doesn't like me. she really doesn't. and its not just me. i noticed she doesn't like any of the asian people on my team. she just is a real ***** to us. and it annoys the hell out of me. i was trying to do my homework at a tennis match cuz we were out there until 8:30, and she screamed at me and told me that ibetter cheer andsupport my team and i waslike... dude i'm doing my homework. and she said I DON'T CARE. and then she waslike GET OUT OF MY WAY when i was trying to watch the game like she asked. geez. she's so rude.
