Not Coping

What movie are you seeing @Blackbird11

Oh, that's a bit weird. Your itchy.

I'm alright I guess. I'll see how the day unfolds.

Yes, it was cool seeing it all @PizzaMondo

No, not until the week after next because our midsem break starts on Friday and goes until next Thursday.

I look forward to a little rest while catching up on the uni lectures I missed last week because of the presentation I finished yesterday.

Nice, I had yoghurt, muesli and banana.

I'm alright, I guess. I'll see how the day develops.

Hey @Former-Member

I hope what I said is okay. I've seen you've supported the posts.

Hello there @Birdofparadise8 😊🤗🌺

yes I’m so sorry it’s taken me so long to get something posted - today has been phone calls non stop from 8am till now! ☺️

I have read back through the pages since I’d mentioned I was popping off the forum for the evening, and firstly I’d gently like to say that you have absolutely nothing at all to be sorry for, or to feel bad about in any way whatsoever dearest, ok? 🙂🌺💜

from my perspective, I’m in no way even the slightest upset; in fact, I’m feeling it’s actually very kind of you and I appreciate having our connection and chats here 🙌🏻☺️

Ok, regarding how upsetting it was for you dearest: first I want to say I’m genuinely sorry - I didn’t know that what I said (taking a rest for the evening) could be a cause for distress; I definitely didn’t intend that, so please know I absolutely didn’t mean it to be a source of upset 💜🌺🫂

And also, please don’t feel bad about having feelings of insecurity; I know what’s like to find it hard to make connections, and once they’re made, if they are perceived to be at risk then it feels like the world is shaking 💜

I really do understand 🫂🙂

one thing you’ll get to know about chatting with me is that even if my health may limit my time I can spend (or even my study or research projects), I’m always looking forward to jumping back on and chatting with you and our other forum members at the next opportunity, and it’s always a pleasure to pick up where we last left off 😊🙌🏻🌺

Things can be pretty rough when having been through lots of rejection in the past, as well as taking on the fault - but I’d like to kindly and gently remind you that even though it’s hard, your friends here (including me!) are here to show you what care, support, and connection looks like 😀🌺

Hang in there, and even if these feelings of abandonment or rejection arise, please do use your growing bravery and self-worth to question their validity, challenge them, and replace them with the more closer to reality positivity that surrounds you..I’ll always be back, and so will our mates @tyme @creative_writer @ENKELI and more (I’m sorry I forget tags!) 🙂🌺

Things like this happen, where people need a bit of time or space, however gently that doesn’t have any bearing whatsoever on the connections they have 🙂🌺

From my point of view, I completely enjoy our discussions which are very interesting, and I find that we have lots in common, which is great! 😀

I kindly hope you can now see a bit more of a different view, and that this can help reframe this kind of scenario into a much more positive, engaging, and friendly place - please do let me know what your thoughts are, as always I am very happy to chat with you 🤗🌺💜☺️

It would be good. Once this presentation is over on Wednesday, I will be less stressed.

Do you have a good recipe? I have, but Mum bought me some when they were here, so I wasn't going to say no.

I'm working on my script for the presentation. It needs to go for only three minutes.

Yes, it can, it mostly gets worse as the day goes on. @PizzaMondo

Thank you @Former-Member

Yeah, I've really enjoyed talking to you.

It's not your fault I got upset. It just brings up a lot of feelings when people leave.

Rejection really is a big one. I don't understand why I persevered with what you said that way.

I knew you weren't going anywhere, but my mind and body just couldn't let go of the feeling you didn't want to talk to me (rejection). Even though rationally, I know you needed a rest.

Thank you @Former-Member

I've enjoyed our conversations a lot as well, clearly to the point of me crying over it. I'm even getting emotional now talking about all this rejection stuff.

That's lovely @ArraDreaming

What time do you finish?
