Everyone has difficulites Josie. Most likely, Sakura and TJ were just facing issues of their own, and were on tight fuses. Sometimes, the truth of the world can be too much to bear, and even showing affection can be a challenge. And don't forget that we're all still getting to know you. TJ had probably never seen your mellow side before. Neither may have ever been mad or irritable at all. Maybe you just misinterpreted their actions. I don't mean to be rude or conclusive, but it happens. That's why whenever I get hurt, I do my best to talk to the person or write them at the least as soon as I can manage. It takes courage, but its important to communicate your feelings rather than keep them locked away. Because people can't read feelings like a book. They need to be expressed in words for mankind to understand them. Its just one of the burdens of being human. And Mech Kuu... your family LOVES you. If they truly love you, they should eventually accept anything about you, whether it be "good" or "bad". Although I don't think your case is bad at all. There are gay [b]animals[/b] for goodness sakes!! Unfortunately, mankind is just so [i]cruel[/i] that it chooses to discriminate some natural behaviors just to make things harder on itself. So what if you like girls? There's nothing wrong with that. It isn't the same as everyone, but that doesn't mean its wrong... And finally, I do agree that the world is scary. The world is one big competition generally. The world can be just as scary and gruesome as it can be beautiful. But its important to remember that you don't need to do anything if you don't want to. Again, your life is to be lived according to your own choices. Just because others pressure you to doesn't mean that you really need to go faster than you're comfortable with. I'm a late bloomer too. I had to grow and accept realities at my own pace. So don't worry - you'll be able to handle life when you're ready. I care for you. And I care for you for who you are, not because you're someone that needs to fulfill any requirements. We all love you because you're you. :cute:
