My Day, and you say i have nothing to be depressed about?
Question:
I went into town and sat alone outside the cathedral.I got several dirty looks from passers by and two chav's called me a queer and a goth.I am not a goth,I am emo.Anyway I told them to **** off and they followed me all the way to MacDonalds.I was hungry anyway so I stood in the queue which was really long.Everyone was pushing into the queue. i finally got served and the woman short changed me.I couldn't prove later that she had so i didn't get my change back which was my bus fare home.I went to eat by the water feature in town as it's really nice down that part.Some people were taking a picture and I had to move,as i got up my phone fell in the water,now it does not work.I walked home and my parents are out.
I hate my life
Answers:
I am really sorry about your bad day... but... you are really focusing on the negative.
You woke up (that's a good start), you got to spend the day alone (I wish), you saw cathedral (I imagine it was beautiful), you had money to spend, you ate by a water feature in a nice part of town, you had a nice walk and get the place to yourself when you got home.
Sure a couple of idiots commented on you but are they really worth listening to or even responding to? Yeah you lost some money but you had enough to eat. As for your mobile phone try taking it apart and letting it dry for a day or so then putting it back together... worked for me... but if not it really is a material possession and if its under a year old you may be able to get it replaced.
Sometimes when you feel negative that is all you see. Try looking for the positive no matter how small. In my darkest time I use to keep a book of appreciation which I know sounds a bit daft. Every evening I would write 5 things from that day that I was thankful for. It really did make me approach the day differently. I remember one day a women was wearing this beautiful red silk sari and just seeing it cheered me up... previously I don't know if I would have even noticed her. I bet you don't even see the smiles :-) I also used to let things really get to me... dirty looks, being shoved, missing buses. Now I ignore the looks if I even catch them, I step aside when shoved (I am not that desperate for anything)... And if I miss a bus that's the way it was meant to be. I worked on Tavistock Square on 7/7/05 and I know lots of people who are very thankful for missing buses and tubes.
I smile at people now whereas I used to walk around like a grumpy so and so. Most people smile back. When I frowned I think I was attracting a like response.
I don't want to go into details but on paper I have had a really rubbish life. (Briefly) I had buried all my family by the age of 27 and found myself with no one. I don't have a single relative in the world other than the odd third cousin 5 times removed. It took me a long time to be happy again but you do have to work at it.
There is a saying 'Don't sweat the small stuff! And remember it's all small stuff!' Seriously shake off the negative people, comments and only positive will remain.
We all have days where we feel like **** the key is to not let it control you.
I would love to know what you think would make you happy?
If you could wake up tomorrow and be happy how would you know? I mean what would be different in your life?
Take care and I hope you get a smile tomorrow! If I were to see you I would promise you one.... For now :-D will have to do!
And keep on being emo! Knowing who you are is a good start.
Been there and felt like that ... but the one thing i learnt ... i'd rather go hungry than enter another McDonalds. That is zombie heaven.
Try a walk in the park or woods next time. Less people and less ignorance.
What was the question anyway?
You need to go on a assertiveness course
