Topic: Scared

first of all, be welcomed to this forum here. You are not alone with your feelings / not feelings. This is quite common, believe it or not. Alexi is a "passenger" of many sicknesses of mind. I will write you later again, well I have to get some things managed.

Until then Lauren, a nice name btw...

Why do people just "automatically know" they are upset with you after you say or do something, yet I am not aware that I am upset about something until 48 hours to two weeks after it happens?

You can say something to me and it just goes over with no reaction and then 48 hours later I am upset and then I try to confront the person and they have no memory of saying what they said (or they can easily "deny" just to make you look crazy, which is what my mom does).

I just don't connect to my feelings and I believe it's because my Mom "told" me how to "feel." I didn't agree with her but had to "fake it."

I'm tired of faking it.

i haven't been on here in a while.. I have had some personal troubles..
It's strange, isn't it?

I don't know if I'm happy about something when k know I 'should' be.. I.e.. When someone buys me a gift..I don't know what to say or do..I kind of freeze and feel awkward because I don't know how to feel or even what I'm feeling!?

Thanks for the replies!

Sometimes I chat up someone then they become my friend, then I realize I really don't want to be friends with them, but then it's too late, so I put up with them because I don't know how to "unfriend" someone. I don't do Facebook for that reason.

I feel exactly the same.. I'd love to just ''unfriend' certain people from my life simply because I don't know how to deal with the emotions that are attached to relationships- whether there friends or 'partners/lovers'!
