Out of everyone, I thought they would have understood. Out of everyone, I thought they'd have been the most supportive. Out of everyone, I am totally surprised they would even think like this.
You may have read my thread in the announcements today, I have booked an appointment to do something huge, it was really difficult and I am freaking out about it already. I won't go into it all here - but if you're interested, read the thread in the news & announcements forum.
ANYWAY, I have known these people online for 2 - 3 years, I have even met some of them in London back last year and I thought I could trust and I thought I could get support off them when I wanted it but apparently not. I told them today I have booked the appointment, and they are saying because I am young, it must be something trivial, worried about appearance and all that jazz but no, IT'S NOT TRIVIAL. Ok, ok, they don't know the problem, but seriously, very few people have commented and I feel like I've been stabbed in the back. Like they don't care. Am I over reacting here?
These are the people I have known for most of my time online, and I was expecting just a little support but they don't give a shit, they are not commenting or trying to make me feel better or anything.
I just want to make it clear, this is not the typical, "I have bad acne", "I have big boobs", "I am fat" kind of problem. It is something different, something worse. Something that has left me feeling like a total freak and this appointment is a huge thing. I totally appreciate the comments and support I've recieved off SF about this, but these other people I'm talking about, it's totally shocked me and I feel crap about it.
