Sleep-deprived Life Rant Blog

Omnomnom.

Well I haven't written a blog in 9 months. Shame. I have a strong urge to delete the last 3 blogs I made because I hate what they say. I'm not sure what I'll write in this blog, so I'm just…winging it and hoping I don't wanna punch myself in the face after reading over it.

LIFE

I've been having a lot of trouble in the past 9 months. I've found myself unable to trust anyone. I can't show them my depressed face. I can't let them know anything.
Which, ehm. Sickens me. Because I know better than to be like this.

I grew up with my mom telling me stories about the worst parts of society. Rape, murder, robbery. I don't know why, but recently these have made a huge effect on me. I can't stand being touched by anyone. Especially not men. Including my dad. Several of the stories my mom told me included women being murdered by close family members. And now I'm scared of my own father. He's noticed it. I know he has. Whenever he puts his hand on my shoulder, I throw it off and yell, "Don't touch me!" Whenever I see him, I feel fear.

I think I'm overreacting. I still love my dad, but… it scares me that he scares me.

However, it's not like I'm chronically depressed. In fact, I've found it a lot easier to pretend the bad things aren't there. So while most other girls my age set their Facebook statuses to things like "UGH. I hate my parents! I hate life!", my status just says "LESS QQ MOAR PEWPEW!"

I suppose to all my long time friends, they'd think I'm the happiest I've ever been. In many ways, I am. But just because I pretend somethings not there, doesn't mean it is.

I don't know what I'm saying. My mind is confused. I don't know what I want to say. Less QQ, moar pewpew.

SCHOOL

Um. I'm doing bad. I don't care to elaborate 🙂

FRIENDS

I'm amazed by how judgmental my friends are. One day in geometry, we got our quiz grades and averages. One girl started crying and immediately her friends (most of whom are also my friends) swooped in and began comforting her.
I sat right behind this girl, so at first I thought "Damn. Maybe I was wrong about burdening others with your problems. Maybe they actually comfort each other."
The teacher noticed the girl was crying, so she excused her to the restroom and resumed the lesson.

I then overheard the following conversation:
"What the hell was she crying for? Bad grades? whoopdeedoo."
"Something about being angry at herself for…being sad about her grades. I don't get it. Does she just want our attention?"
"Probably. She's overreacting anyway."
"There was no point in her crying. She just interrupted the class."

Trying to figure out whose voices they were, I looked around the room and found they were the same people who were just comforting the crying girl. My friends. And supposedly her friends too.

Why the poo. Would you comfort your crying friend. And then talk about her behind her back?
WHY NOT JUST BE A FLAT OUT BITCH TO HER? I DON'T GET IT.

Also. A couple of my friends are becoming..selfish. little. sluts. Or maybe it's just because of my new fear of being touched.
For example. This one friend of mine, let's call her G.
Recently, G has started dating a mexican boy. Let's call him B. Now, G's parents are divorced, so she lives with her father. And like most Asian parents, G is not allowed to date. But of course, that hasn't stopped her from dating 7 different people in the past 2 years.
But now that she's dating B, it's different. In a bad way. She's always with him. She never tells her dad where she is. Normally, she's probably in a corner making out with B while her dad is at home frantically calling all her friends trying to figure out where the HELL she is because school ended FIVE hours ago, and she still wasn't home.
On numerous occasions, her dad has called me, "CONNIE! CONNIE! HAVE YOU SEEN G? Oh God. I've called her phone but she didn't pick up. None of her friends know where she is! The bus already came by our street 2 hours ago. What if something happened to her?"
I always want to tell him, "Sir, I'm sorry to tell you this. But your daughter has been dating this boy for a month. And she's probably with him…in a room…FULLY CLOTHED, OF COURSE. Ha. Ha…ha."
But instead, I say, "I'm sorry sir. Let me ask. -waits 5 seconds- Someone said that she's walking home with a friend. She probably stopped by McDonalds first."

I feel so bad for her dad. He's barely considered middle class. He's 60+ years old, having to take care of his teenage daughter who is always off with her secret boyfriend. I sometimes have to ask her dad for a ride home and all he ever tells me is, "I'm worried about G. Her grades are dropping and I never know where she is."
All I can say is, "I'm sure she'll pull through. Don't worry, sir. G is a good girl. She knows what she's doing."

…fuuuck.

RELATIONSHIPS

So. I gotz a boyfriend. We've only dated for 2 or 3 months. Not that big of a deal. The only problem is that I have trouble finding interest in him sometimes. Before we started dating, he would sometimes want hugs from me. Hugging is the limit I can go nowadays. And no giant long bear hugs.
Then one day while in the orchestra room, he walks up to me and opens his arms for a hug. I nod, giving him approval. He goes in for the hug and says, "Connie, will you go out with me?"

Have you ever seen the face of somebody who just walked in on their parents having sex?
Yeah. That was my face at that moment.

Blahblahblah, I said yes. Blahblahblah.

It disturbs me. Because the week we started dating, he already started with the "I LOOOVEEE YOUU <333"
and I'm just like "Haha. I love you too… :)" -COUGH –

I'm trying to get rid of my whole "DUN TOUCH ME" problem. He's already noticed that I won't hold hands with him or kiss him. He learned that the hard way when he kissed my cheek before we left school for the Thanksgiving break and I flipped out on him.

I think he's fine with the no touching, as long as he gets his hug. But it makes me feel like I've let him down.

Maybe I should just end it. Because nothing is going to happen. Honestly we're pretty much just acquaintances that hug and say "ily" every once and a while. I find myself constantly comparing him to Jeffery. I'm over Jeffery by now, but I'm not over the relationship I had with him.
I miss being able to talk about my problems with him, and listening to his too. I miss being able to shout meme after meme at him, and he'd still understand everything I said. And he wouldn't think I was weird. I miss how I could easily feel comfortable with him. I wasn't pressured by him or friends to do anything. We just…simply were.

I'M A BAD GIRLFRIEND

And that ends my annual blog. KEKEKE.

Dayum. I was supposed to sleep an hour ago. But I type too slow. Now it's 6:20 AM 😀

EDIT: Anyone remember this? 🙂

Arladerus 1 January 2011

Wow what the hell why didn’t you just flat-out reject him? And you’re the kind of girl I would stay away from in real life.

BUT I GET TO ANNOY YOU AS MUCH AS I WANT OVER THE INTERWEBZZ~

At one point in life, grades suddenly become a meaningless statistic. Unless you get under 70. That’s when your parents go into Asian-lockdown mode.

For all of your paranoia, I can’t help but to see you as a likable person.

But of course, I’m a paranoid, grade-A+ nutcase.

WHICH IS WHY YOU GO TO MIT amirite

tarheel91 1 January 2011

A previous girlfriend of mine wouldn’t let me (or anyone else) touch her face. That was a bit frustrating. /understatement

If you have no romantic feelings for him, why keep it up? You’re only drawing it out longer and making things worse. That said, I understand how difficult it is to say “no” to a friend in that situation. But seriously, being in a relationship kind of requires contact. Handle that before you make that sort of commitment. Is it just fear of being touched, or fear of the rape/murder sort of thing that it you associate it with?

In regards to your friend’s dad, it’s an unfortunate situation he brought upon himself. Place limits on your child that are too strict, and they will eventually go around them. It’s easy to say, hard to do, but when you find the right balance, your child will probably be more willing to let you in on what’s going on in their life and will actually care about your opinion on the matter.

… Contact is extremely important for humans to actually develop the hormones like oxytocin. Understandably, if there was no dopamine in the first place, then you’ll never get to that stage.

If you don’t like him, then just put him in the ‘friends’ zone again. 😀 That’s what they all do in anime, and anime reflects reality, rite rite?

QQ. I said I had trouble keeping interest in him SOMETIMES. The interest is still there. But I’m haunted by “I should probably end it. It’s best for the both of us since I won’t let him touch me.” Not only that, but I’m scared because of his past and ex-girlfriends. He had to go to court for stealing things. I know he regrets it, and he’s trying to reform. But he had a girlfriend during that time and I can’t stop wondering, “She was probably better to him, if she was able to stay with him during those times..” and it leads me to think “Maybe they only broke up because they were going to different schools.” which then makes me think “oshit I’m just a net.”

…I forgot to mention that he’s my first boyfriend so I was clueless from the beginning.

@David: …sir. You disappoint me.

People are fucked up, yeah. Like, REALLY fucked up. Everyone is in their own way. Best thing you can do is to just do your own thing, and if people find that you’re fucked up, that’s fine, because they’re fucked up too. If they can’t accept you, then they don’t even deserve you.

If you don’t have any form of attraction to Jeffrey anymore, just end it with him. It’ll be easier on him, and you in the long run. If you do have feelings though, and if he really likes you for you, it won’t matter all that much that you don’t let him touch you.
As for not letting people touch you, that’s fine. Everyone deserves a little personal space… albeit you’re case is a little extreme, but try to find people you trust and.. practice.. touching..? I got nothing.

Arladerus 1 January 2011

The way you’re responding to him IN MY OPINION shouts “I don’t give a shit about us”. Also, him saying that he loves you so quickly is so lame. Dump that sorry ass of his. At least he’ll be picking up his own pieces instead of stealing someone else’s.

This is why you shouldn’t even have relationships in High School in the first place. Just get into College first, then go all out. >___________________________________>
