Fun & Confirmation

[aekiy]

Two weeks ago, as well as Monday of last week, I worked an early shift at work, filling in for the other full-timer who was out on vacation.  During this time, I put in extra hours to cover the workload and also to take this past Friday off work without using any vacation days.  I hit 80 hours a little before six o'clock on Thursday evening and

r no one see me as broken, but I'd also rather not be sick as I am. I have no care for creating an image of myself, but I will not censor myself from talking about my health problems just because people have created this paranoid conspiracy theory that I'm faking the whole thing to get attention.

Well, perhaps putting yourself in other people's shoes might help you realize what might make people think that way, and maybe you could help yourself in thinking more positively by not jumping to conclusions and all these half-cocked diagnoses without the opinion of a health professional.

Now, it seems clear that you're not trying to be helpful at all; I read this as an attack on my person.

You read everything as an attack on your person. Wether it is or not is irrelevant because you are going to percieve it as such wether I say it isn't or it is. I so knew you where going to reuse that tired old line again.

I love her, I genuinely do, even if that doesn't make sense, and even if it's harmful to me. I've realized recently that it isn't just harmful to me, it's harmful to my friends,

Uhm, well. Duh.

No, I don't. What started out as a skeptical point regarding my self-diagnosis turned into a discussion about how everything about me is wrong. How, exactly, does Des have anything to do with whether or not I'm diabetic? You completely changed the subject in order to say something that you knew would be hurtful to me. That is why I perceive it as an attack; obviously, under most circumstances, you wouldn't actually tell me that you're attacking me. That's the way these things go.

That's not really important, though; what's important is that while I'm trying to be reasonable, as well as I can, you're simply nitpicking everything you don't like and taking an adversarial approach to this whole discussion. Maybe it's only because those are the things you really want to talk about, not my self-diagnosis, but that doesn't change the fact that the approach you've been taken, at the very least, could be reasonbly seen as adversarial.
