I haven’t posted for a few days because I thought I was doing okay. Â I was able to buy Garry’s Mod for my computer and that seemed to distract me from a lot of things until yesterday. Â I know it shouldn’t be that big of a deal to me but it just… It just is… Â I was playing Prop Hunt with my friend and there was this kid, like thirteen years old who just kept repeating, “Wow, your stupid.” Â And other things like that. Â So a bunch of people tried to tell him to shut up, I kept quiet because thats what I do. Â But he then proceeded to insult my friend and I lost it. Â He had said my friend sounded like a nerd with no friends so me being me, I said. Â “I’m his friend and I have been for a while. Â All your doing is annoying people so why don’t you shut the f*** up?” Â But this seemed to only bring his attention on to me as he started insulting me and calling me a retard. Â I was so mad that he was using the word retard because its just not right, but whats making me feel even worse is I did nothing after that. Â I didn’t stand up for anyone when he stopped dissing me, I didn’t tell him to stop using the word retard, I didn’t do anything. Â I’m surprised I was even able to say what I did because I don’t normally do that. Â I don’t stand up for myself and I don’t talk back to people, which is one of the reasons people are able to walk over me. Â I was just so mad and annoyed at this kid and I was ranting to myself and my friend. Â And I’m starting to rant on here… Â Great, why do I always seem to do that… Â URGH! Â I’m just so mad I can’t stick up for anything! Â Not myself and not for others!! Â I feel so weak and useless! Â Sorry if this post seemed to piss anyone off or if I just seem really stupid for not being able to do any of that stuff… Â I should go before I say something else I’ll regret later.

I would have gotten so mad too. I had a sister with autism who died because of a seizure in her sleep, so when people use the word retard? that’s when the punching starts.
see I find myself quite opposite from this. I get mad too fast and always have my big mouth open and I always have a comeback when someone starts calling names or teasing or making fun of me or someone else. now you may feel like you wish you stood up more, but honestly, it gets me into so much trouble. it makes the fights blow up and everything gets more heated and intense and talking back usually just fuels the fight. the fact that you can keep quiet and not start things? you may think its a curse, but trust me, it will save you many unnecessary fights!
Hmmm, she did it, stood up for somebody….. maybe not so invisible girl. Good job. Progress, not perfection. Maybe rather than thinking about what you didn’t say, it would be nice to think about what you did say. I’m proud of you girl with a voice.
Don’t worry about ranting here, it is one of the main things this site is used for, after all.
Learning to deal with assholes like that is just part of life…luckily online you can usually just ignore them pretty easily. Usually that’s the best option. Try not to let it get to you so much, although I know that’s easier said than done. You said your part, and any further retaliations against that kid would have just been pointless, and giving him what he wants. You can’t argue with idiots like that.
I wouldn’t worry over this. Maybe you would stick up for someone in an important situation. Things like this though, not even worth the energy.
