-- Posted by Anonymous at 7:12 pm on Oct. 7, 2008 I honestly think that sometimes haha I wish I could say that I'm joking, but I feel like I could put more effort into things and actually care. My parents are both miserable so I can kind of understand why I feel this way. But I feel so worthless sometimes. And I know when I put effort into friendships, I feel like I have friends. But it's hard and stressful some of the time & I just can't handle it all the time. -- Posted by MischaELLE at 7:14 pm on Oct. 7, 2008 ughh i so know what you mean about the taking time to build and maintain friendships. sometimes i just feel like i dont have the energy or willpower to be all  bouncy for them and i just become all intraverted and idk but i kinda know what you mean. -- Posted by AcidSilence at 7:14 pm on Oct. 7, 2008 I dont have to wish. hahaha. EMO kid! -- Posted by cha chi at 2:13 am on Oct. 13, 2008 Why are your parents miserable? Use this as leverage so you dont end up like them. Do you keep a journal? Have you talked to a counselor? Considered moving out and creating your own life without the added negativity from your parents? Creating a positive surrounding will definitely help you. I have green, orange and yellow walls for the exact reason. It can never be depressing in my room and i am 24 years old. (at least they are not pink lol) :P
