My mother says that one of my greatest personal flaws is not being able to take a joke. I think I learned that from my dad...
Also, I have a very short temper, and am very prone to flaming.
Thirdly, being raised by perfectionist parents, a pet peeve of mine is a mistake, even a minor one. I have tried to outgrow it. IMO, I have, and you really should have seen me before MYM. Really.
the reason I am not overreacting is that I am what is called a "Night Owl." I am very attuned to the quiet atmosphere of the night, and so, proverbially, become part of the night. I am very calm, very quiet, and most of all, most polite at night. Especially after midnight. I have been raised with cats all of my life, and being a big animal lover, I have developed some major traits affiliated with cats. Sleeping a lo during the day, being awake during the night, among other things. That, however, is very negative toward my social life. A few times, I have accidentally called people at 4 AM a couple times, even 3 AM once, making me seem very clingy an pestering. I feel most agitated in the day-time, mostly because I have chronic depression, and Mornings and afternoons are very bad times for someone who's depressed. And before you say anything, yes, I have a psychiatrist and even a therapist. They have help me greatly over the past few years. Also, some of my negative attitude is caused by stress. I have struggled with many stress-related incidences over the past 3 years. In 2006, my mother developed Breast Cancer, and lat year, my father died in September. This is really what cause me to act so rashly.
Again, I apologize for flaming, I have just dealt with a lot of crap lately. I hope that we can reconcile, and maybe even become friends one day.
