So my bird kigarumi (its like an animal pajama onsie) arrived and I put it on and sort of sat on my bed and my neighbors came and asked if I wanted to play. I said sure and I went outside bc im uber lazy so i kept on my kigarumi and my neighbor's little sister ran off and told her EXTREMELY bossy and strict dad that I was wearing pajamas and he asked me what I was wearing so I said 'my pajamas' and he told me to go get dressed.

He told me to get dressed. He's not my dad, he can't tell me what to do. And it's not like I was going out to dinner in my slutty bootie short pajamas and a crop top with no bra or underpants. First of all, I am wearing a bra and underpants and normal shirt and short pajamas under my kigarumi. Second, i'm just outside of my house, with my friends and he's telling me what to do. Why should he be able to tell me what to wear when I'm perfectly modest and comfortable?

UGHHH im so pissed.

Hey really has now business telling you to get dressed, tons of people go out in their pajamas, why can't you?

I am having the worst day ever! My friends are being mean to be, even some people on here are. I feel like everything I do is bad. I can do one thing right.
People have been treating me like I am stupid, I am sitting in front of my computer crying, heavily. I feel hated.

For once I am actually on here telling a problem, not helping another.

Don't worry;
tomorrow could indeed be better. The brightest star couldn't shine with a little darkness, and a dawn couldn't .. dawn with out the night and darkness behind it.
Think of yourself as that star, or dawn, and let these silly, horrible bad times pass to make you a stronger person.
You did do a good thing by coming here and posting, telling your feelings is a GREAT thing to do.

I woke up today pretty late.. Like around 10 a.m and I woke up to my mom yelling at me. This seems to happen a lot.. I wake up, get yelled at for no apparent reason. I go to bed, get yelled at right away. I tried to hold my feeling in today but I just broke out in to tears in front of her. She began to ask me questions if she thought I loved her and all I could to is shrug.. I really don't know if I love her or if she loves me back. She always gets angered at me for small reasons but the reason why this bugs me is because she as well uses harsh words that me as a sensitive type person hate to hear. It just gets me so depressed and I just need some comfort from a friend but I'm to afraid to tell someone about it because I can't really trust anyone. I grew up an only child and depended on my self to finish a problem and I try to do things on my own at times but know I just need some comfort.. :c

I promised myself I wouldn't come here to rant but here I am, and I'm ranting.

I'm not the kind of person to share my emotions, but I've recently felt a greater need tell them to someone. Why? Because of art. I love drawing, it's basically my life, but it's also the reason that I'm so easily depressed. I can't beleive any of the compliments that my friends give me about my art. There was a time that I would have loved to hear that kind of thing and would have let it go to my head. I figured out that my art wasn't very good because I never practiced. The art of one of my classmates started getting more attention than mine and soon my artwork was ignored. That was 14 or 15 months ago. After that I was dedicated to improving and I spent much of my time drawing. When I got back to school after the summer, people forgot my classmate's art and started loving mine. I had improved over the summer though and when I looked back in what people once called good, I saw it for what it really was. A naive child's pathetic attempts at drawing. That caused me to start thinking that all my art was bad, my logic being that people praised my art when I was 9 (random number lol) to encourage me, so now they were doing the same thing. I trained myself to ignore compliments any way I could. I'm not trying to brag, but my self-disiplinary abilities are pretty good. I ended up being unable to take a compliment. I just can't force myself to believe them unless it's from a person whom I don't know. So unless the person giving me the praise has no reason (such as friendship or being a commissioner) to be doing so, I won't believe it. However I don't react this way to people on CS (unless they are a commissioner commenting on the piece I made for them) because they have no reason to comment. Even friends have no obligation to praise me on my work. The only exception to these statements is if I show the piece to them instead if letting them find the art themselves. I don't know how much of that made sense, but at least I tried. XD

I try to respond to every PM I receive and reply to every comment on my art, but I can't always do those things. Still, I never just ignore a PM. I'll read and respond to it if there's enough information to continue the conversation or I'll try to start a new conversation if there isn't. I'll take time out of my day to respond to comments and I'll put thought into what I say, trying my best to sound sincere. I'll go out of my way to be helpful or or add extra information to something and sometimes I'm never thanked. It's hard to act cheery when your not or be helpful when no one bothers to let you know that it means something. There was one commission that I did and the commissioner never bothered to thank me. I know they saw the picture, I put an image of it and a link in a PM to them. That hurt a lot, especially since I had started to develop a friendship with the user. I know how good it feels when an artist personally and individually responds to a comment I give them. Some artists just say "thanks guyz!!!" and call that a response. It's a response, sure, but it doesn't show an appreciation for the compliments that that they were given. It's what someone does when they can't be bothered to spend more than 3 seconds on a reply. And now I'm going to change the topic because this is bound to hurt someone's feeling. In a way that was the intention, but it I continue I might hurt their feelings in a manner that isn't constructive.

I've also experienced a lot of stress because of ccommissions. I often get anxiety stomachaches because I'm so worried about the outcome of a commission. I'm afraid to say no to a payment someone offers me if it's too small. I don't know why, I just am. I don't want to disappoint anyone so I spend large amounts of time on what I do. I once spent 16 hours on something only to have the commission canceled just before finishing. That kind of thing I'd what makes me reluctant to take commissions.

I don't know why I wrote this, I guess I just felt more depressed than usual.

I don't really know...I guess I just feel...lonely? :c I've never really been one to make friends, and the only friend I have is due to reasons out of our own control, neither of us had to start a conversation, neither of us had a choice, but she's my best friend, we grew up together, and we used to do everything together. Now she's been going to groups to try and meet new people - which is awesome - but she'd rather spend time over there than hanging out with me and I have no else to turn to and I just feel really bored and alone. I don't even know how to converse with people online and when I do I always mess up and it always brings me down. Part of it is because I've never had to go to school, so I've never had a chance to meet someone, and I'm extremely shy so I can't speak to people when I'm, say, walking the dog, or just going outside.

So I have depression and I have my bad days but lately I've been feeling pretty good. I think being on summer break has allowed me to feel a little better, but I start school again in 11 days. I'm so so worried that this is gonna throw me back in to a time when almost every day was a bad day. I like being happy...

Can someone just hug me?

I really really hope that I won't have to put school before my health again, but I think that's whats gonna happen.

(Feel free to ignore this, I just needed to get this down somewhere and I do appreciate anyone who takes the time to read.)
I'm a Christian. My RL friends aren't, and the only other person I've met at this school or anywhere else who I could connect with spiritually graduated two years ago.. I honestly wouldn't mind so much if everyone, even my friends, didn't seem to interpret my being a Christian as their right to be disrespectful and hurtful..
-snip-

oh dear. I know exactly how you feel. I myself am a christian.
i am being bullied both on CS and on tumblr because of my religious views and
beliefs on other topics. I have learned to shut my mouth about my religion on the internet because all people will do is shun you. it doesn't matter who you are, what you've accomplished, or anything. a lot of people HATE Christians. they don't care about you. they don't care how much they're hurting you. all they know is that they hate Christianity and want it gone.
It sucks, that a lot of people won't even give you a chance. and it hurts too, right? it just shows how cruel some people can be.

**also, I was NOT directing any of this to anyone in particular here on CS and I am NOT trying to start a fight**

"I can't stay over, my bird'll get pissy with me if I don't tuck her in."

wth? It's a bird. It would have been lovely for you to stay over, I understand if it's hard to fall asleep, or you want to say goodbye to your sister because she's going to camp but, your bird will get pissy with you if you don't tuck it in? I feel like I'm going to lose grip of my friend that actually stuck for years, during summer.

I really just need comfort ;u;

That sucks I'm sorry.
Kids at school have super high stress levels these days.
All I can tell you is to try and remain calm, and keep focused on stamina you don't need 100% on everything, cause you're going to be doing this for a while.

Take time to do things you love, hang out with your friends, just relax and watch tv or read a book. Keep focused on next summer, when things will calm down.

I wish you luck, but for now don't think about school, it's still summer and stay focused on that. Feel free to pm me on a bad day, or post here, well try our hardest to make you feel better.
