This is that other thread idea that I mentioned in the general category. So if you have any worries/concerns about anything, please feel free.
...about many/several things actually. Mostly in line with the future (I realize a lot of people are probably feeling that way lately because of the economy)
I'll have to come back later, the computer is about to shut off.

Im randomly worried about what im going to do when i graduate. Its scary and its not that far away and i have NO idea whats gonna happen. Its like when you go to the grocery store and you see how many kinds of fruits and vegetables there are and you're not sure what to pick, there's the stuff we all know about and then there's those weird exotic things that might be good ...but who knows!?!?!

oh, and all this business about 2012. Sometimes it makes me laugh but i suppose it really can be a... just maybe scenario. I think it would really suck if it all ended then since my plans wont really work out. BUt its unlikely i think

What am I worried about? hmm...how about anything and everything...*sigh* But I believe these are the two MAJOR ones...... Im randomly worried about what im going to do when i graduate. Its scary and its not that far away and i have NO idea whats gonna happen. Its like when you go to the grocery store and you see how many kinds of fruits and vegetables there are and you're not sure what to pick, there's the stuff we all know about and then there's those weird exotic things that might be good ...but who knows!?!?! I relate to the first statement very, very much. I'm absolutely terrified of where I'm going to end up after graduation! I just wouldn't have as positive of an analogy as collectcall. I'm really not going to be qualified to do anything, and I don't feel good at anything. I'm scared I won't be able to a) find a full time job, and b) keep that job due to my dumbness and horrible lack of communication skills... This makes me feel like a ticking time bomb...like I'm on my way to a severe nervous breakdown if I can't manage my life properly. I'm totally serious. Now, my 2nd major worry? I'm terrified I'm going to be alone FOREVER. I can't imagine living as alone and lonely as I am for the rest of my life. If this doesn't change, I don't think I'll be able to deal with it. Eventually, I'm sure to crack. People are not meant to feel so disconnected. I'm really surprised I haven't died of a heartattack while worrying about all this stuff yet; it's that bothersome...

Strawberry, I have to say I can definitely relate to the things you said, even - especially! - at my age. And yes, despite my old screenname, I too, am worried I will be forever alone. I don't feel I have anything to offer a man. and I've been studying my face in the mirror lately, exacerbated by the awful ocd/body dysmorphia I go through at times, and (scuse me, if I offend, I don't meant to) I look like a bloomin' retard when I cry, even if I show "upset" without crying. No wonder people don't respect me. They probably think I am mentally challenged. Oh great! You know, I can't even go to the hairdresser, besides the fact of my scent allergies, because I am convinced I won't be treated with respect (because it HAS happened before when I was getting a haircut). I realize this has turned into a rant - scuze me again . Even if I lost weight, once a man got a look at my face with the (upper teeth) malocclusion, I'd never have a chance !!! ...(and yes I know a lot of people are probably worried about this - and some have had this happen to them since last year's economic downturn?).... I'm extremely worried about becoming homeless. I have no friends - at least anyone in Fredericton that would be willing to let me crash at their place. I have a relative (an aunt) across the river (City's North side) and she wouldn't even let me stay there for one night when I asked her (years ago). ...other things that I'd like to put, but I don't want to offend anyone because they are kind of "out there" (not easily believable, but I believe will happen to me - and no, I don't mean I believe I'll be captured by aliens and have to go through some sort of alien autopsy, it's nothing like that.) - I guess it's enough that I worry about these unnamed things . These certain things, I'll say, without going into specifics, are things people go through on this Earth, and they are very traumatic, and involve physical and psychological pain. I'm quite familiar with the latter, but all my life, I have endeavored to avoid the former, as much as possible. Again, sorry in advance if I've offended anyone. sorry, more ranting: I was called "retard" a lot in grade school. they even tried to disguise it "retread". And they'd say"_____, tell your mother she wants you!" - as if I was going to go right home, and say, "Mummy, some kids said for me to tell you that you want me!" (I didn't do it, btw) I mean, come on! I can't figure out why they'd say this unless they thought I was retarded. I made good marks in school. So I'm guessing the reason is (1) either they were jealous of my school grades; (2) they were just teasing kids; (3) they heard their parents talk about "the kid down the street who'd spent 3 years in an institution" (I hated saying this last part - re: instuitution - and I hope it doesn't cause anyone on here to think negatively toward me - at least those who either like me or are neutral regarding myself). That was initially because my mother had a miscarriage, and none of the relatives would step forward and take care of me (I was 7 - this was 1969) while Mummy recovered from her ordeal. It ended up being 3 years, but I don't really know why, perhaps it was because of my nerves. They had me on medication that made me very slow/sluggish during the day, made me want to go to bed early at night. And even at this place, one of the other kids remarked, "There's that stupid ___ ____ (blanks are my real name, of course)"! But in my third year of being there at this place, they sent me out to public school (grade 2 - I was 9) and I did very well; in fact, at some point, I finished the grade 2 math book, and actually had to go from the grade 2 room to the grade 3 classroom to take my math. I'm sorry this is so long. I should have put this in another section obviously, but once I start typing, I don't like to stop. Please bear with my longwinded post(s). Thanks.

I'm worried about my roommate. She keeps wanting to start a fight. I think she talked to our RD about getting a new room, which makes me glad because I wanted to do that too but I was too nervous about it--maybe she will get her own room. Good riddance. But I think she's also the assistant stage manager in the play I'm in. I kind of hope she leaves this school, which worries me because that makes me a bad person.

I'm worried, thinking I shouldn't even try to find love anymore. I'm one of the oldest members on this board, I think, and I've been alone so long I'm afraid I've become set in my ways and might blow it. That is a real bummer.

I didn't get lost after all by the way. The directions actually turned out somewhat easy in the end. And now I have another job...eeep!
