Person 1: I am really upset and feeling overwhelmed. Person 2: You're being weak-minded. It will pass. Person 1: I feel nauseous and keep wretching. I just want it to end. I really don't feel very good. Person 2: Stop being such a drama queen and attention seeking whore. Person 1: Shut up. Please stop. Someone please make this stop. I want to call him. Person 2: If you call, it will just sound like you are creating a scene just to get the attention and ruining his plans. That will just make him angry. Person 1: I'm not trying to make him angry or seek attention. I just want someone I trust to make this stop. Please go away. Person 2: Remember that article you read about emotional manipulators and over-dependent people? You are one of them. Person 1: It will pass. It will pass. It will go away. Don't listen. Person 2: You speak of removing toxic people from your life but you are a toxic person. People should remove you from their lives. Person 1: I'm trying to get better. I'm really really trying. Please just stop. Person 2: You failed. Person 1: He was so excited and had been waiting so long for it. I disappointed him. Nothing went to plan. I broke down. I said things without thinking about it. Person 2: Exactly. You disappointed him. You made him feel like he wasted time and money on an unworthy experience. Person 1: I can explain it. I can explain what I am thinking. I'm calming down now. Person 2: Do you really think he will listen? No matter what you say, if you ask to speak with him it's just going to sound like you are forcing yourself into his evening. Person 1: But if I don't explain it while my mind is clear enough to articulate it, then the next time this happens it will just keep building the misunderstanding. Person 2: Even if he is willing to listen, it's just going to sound like excuses for your own selfish and unreasonable behaviour anyway. It's going to seem like emotional manipulation. Person 1: I'm not trying to manipulate. I am trying to articulate what happens when I'm caught in a downward spiral. He can ask questions and I will answer them. Person 2: He's just going to listen and say "alright" and that's it because no matter what you say, you're just being a weak-minded and selfish bitch. Someone like you doesn't deserve someone to believe you. Person 1: SHUT UP. I am in control. Don't talk to me like that. Person 2: Whatever. It's not going to work anyway, Person 1: I will try to explain because that's being able to articulate my thoughts and share it with others is my responsibility. If I am unable to do this then no one knows what goes on inside my head and no one can help me. Person 1 is weak, guilty, submissive and damaged. Person 2 is aggressive, unforgiving, skeptical and untrusting. Both people are me.: -
I want a kotatsu. When I have my own place, I’m definitely gonna have/make one. Then if someone ever tells me to think of a happy place, I can just think about my wonderful kotatsu. :3
Edit: In fact, I have a number of boardgames at home and I feel like I am missing two crucial elements: players and a kotatsu.

Heroes exist
I look at successful people like Einstein, Mozart, Mahler, Gates, etc and think…
how they grew up in harsh environments
how much hardship and misfortune they endured
how damaged there are
how others doubted them
and
how brave they were to overcome all this.
Even without super powers, these people are all heroes to me. I admire them not only for their achievements, but for their courage as well.
I will look to them more to inspire myself to be braver too.

It has been like this a lot lately… There’s only so many times that you can say “it could be worse…” before it all reaches a tipping point and it makes you snap or begin spiralling downwards.

The most eccentric people are usually the most brilliant and successful people — behind the scenes
So most people have noted that the most brilliant people or the most successful people are the most eccentric people. I mean, how many times have we come across someone that has done extremely well for themselves and have noticed the accompanying bizarre quirks?
For a long time I thought it would be near impossible for me to become exceptionally brilliant or successful because I don’t have these eccentric qualities. But in the last few months I have been thinking about this some more and realised that I must be mistaken.
Actually, it’s not that eccentric people are more successful and brilliant. Really, it’s that successful and brilliant people happen to have odd qualities and have the confidence to show it to everyone and not care what other people think.
These people know themselves and are happy to share their oddities with those around them. They don’t let what other people think of them interfere negatively with what they do. If people think “Wow, this guy is cuckoo!”, the person doesn’t let this get them down instead they shrug it off and continue with being themselves and persevering with their endeavours. It is because of this self confidence and perseverance that a person is able to succeed and become the brilliant person we recognise them to be.
That’s my thoughts at least. For now, I am happy to believe this because then there is hope for me and others that suffer from a lack of confidence.
