I'm proud of several skills I have, including public speaking, my ability to learn quickly and teach others, and generally good judgments about both people and problems. I'm a 26-year old, very successful software professional and Masters candidate. None of my friends and family think there's anything much wrong with me, although one friend said she though I was a little neurotic. Well, I'm tired of this. I'd like to understand myself better, and be at peace in this world.
Life is too short to be unhappy.
I just wanted to tell you that I've known and worked with a number of people who self injure, and while it's an upsetting symptom, it is something a person can give up. I'd wonder if you've ever tried a behavioral therapy plan to get better control over that symptom. Hello, I'm a newbie. Sometimes I feel I'm overly irritable or angry. Or I feel resentful and threatened by people who are smart, beautiful, entertaining, or daring.
