Venting

[Claire]

[SIZE="1"]I have a lot of pent up rage. It's mostly about pretty insignificant things, but it's no fun having anger of any sort stuck inside.

- My sisters can be so infuriating. They often poke fun at me for random reasons and I try to brush it off, but it can actually sting. They also constantly think that they know more about the world than I do, despite my eldest child status, and will never even consider that they could possibly be wrong about something.

Example: A while ago we somehow got on the topic of pierced ears, and I mentioned how piercing guns are bad. Both of my sisters jumped on me, claiming that I was wrong, the knowledgeable friends I have were wrong, and professionals on the internet were wrong as well. Their proof was that they'd had their ears pierced with a gun at the mall. OBVIOUSLY THEY KNOW SO MUCH MORE ABOUT THINGS THAN I DO.

And one more thing that pisses me off often is that, because I'm the only one with a vehicle and a driver's license, I'm expected to taxi my siblings around wherever they need to be. I don't outwardly fuss about picking them up from the bus stop or taking them to church, because my parents do pay for my gas, but when my sisters bombard me with demands that I escort them to Taco Bell, I get very angry.

- I feel like some of my friends kind of expect me to be a driver, too. I don't mind it nearly as much because they're my friends and it would be so I could spend time with them, but using an entire tank of gas in a single weekend is not fun in the least.

- Almost none of my friends ever talk to me anymore. I never get to see them because we are all at different schools now, but when I try to converse with them via text messaging or Skype, the discussion never lasts very long. I mostly get one word responses or replies devoid of any interest in what I am saying. Some people say nothing but "lol," some people just plain stop talking at all. It makes me feel like I'm the most boring person in the world and that I really don't have any friends.

I have a lot more to rant about but I'd better not make this too long.

Anyway, go ahead and get some of your anger out. Discuss similar experiences. Sympathize with each other. You will feel like there is more air inside your lungs.

EDIT:

- This new Facebook fad of liking pages with ridiculously long and unfunny titles. What the hell. My entire news feed is being clogged with them and I do not appreciate it at all. I even hid one person entirely, then because I have nothing better to do I changed my status to "THANK GOODNESS FOR THE HIDE BUTTON." Someone liked that, then proceeded to like one of those stupid long name pages.

I found an IRONY page and liked it as well.[/size]

[FONT="Franklin Gothic Medium"][SIZE="1"][COLOR="Navy"]I had to the do same thing when my siblings were in High School. I had to make the school runs for my mom, since she had work. I didn't mind, because she gave me money for gas from time to time. But I'd remind my siblings that since I'm not their personal chauffeur and if they want to go somewhere they have to be nice about it and real lizeI have things that I do too.[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT]
