Katie's right. It's so hard to tell when the freak out response is your inner voice keeping you safe & when you're being weak because whatever you're up against is a challenge. I say as long as you are challenging yourself in some area(s) of your life that means you aren't weak. If you're freaking out, it's either too much because of other factors or not a good situation at all & you should run. P.S. I'm still here What happened?

How do you tell which is which? Not sure. For me it's always been right for me to walk away from a relationship that felt off. Is it part of being an introvert? It's just harder to take on new people and digest them fully as they do change the way your life works and impact your routines, your homeostasis etc. I have no advice, and I don’t know that you’re really looking for advice; but I can tell you that sometimes you have to push yourself through something that is uncomfortable and sometimes you don’t.

As the sister saw the situation as a way to grow and learn the art of being the best she could be and taking things in stride. Thus creating in her the social skill to thrive and adapt. Unfortunately, the other sister saw it as a barrier she could not break through and thus fitting the wave and lashing out, aka - the trouble maker. Eventually, I think you will find a peace with it and learn a great deal :) I hope you do. You are a great person and totally deserve to be happy in all situations, especially social. BTW, lets get a drink! I have found that every person takes on these challenges in a different way.

I'm not very good at remembering past wrongs. I know how exasperrated they used to make me. I remember feeling discriminated against but in the end it made me want to try harder to be better just to show them. I think I actually benefitted because of that.

THE BOY always has the most exuberant fans. I wish I lived closer so I could help out more. I'd be a great homework buddy. Some kids were lucky to get one or two parents but THE BOY usually gets stuck with Mom, Aunt, Grandma, & sometimes Grandpa. It would be weird to walk the halls again. I still remember where I loccered all three years. I can’t wait to go to soccer games again! THE BOY always has the most exuberant fans. I wish I lived closer so I could help out more.
