Do the things on this list make me sound mentally ill?!


Question: 1. Don't ask "Do you want me to hold Thomas?" No, he is my baby, I want to hold him. Ask me "Can I hold him," I will share.
2. Don't make comments like "Looks like he hasn't missed any meals!" Breast fed babies have chubby cheeks, thats how it works. You might as well call him fat, which no one likes.
3. I don't like to be touched. I don't even really hug my mom. I am only physical with Mike or Thomas. I also don't like them being touched, especially Thomas.
4. I love getting gifts. Sometimes I can get uncomfortable by them. I feel it means I can't provide for my family, or that I am taking advantage.
5. I am pretty much done with visitors by 8, unless I seem really involved with you. If I get out the computer, that is an almost instant sign I am done.
6. Don't wait for me to call you. More than likely, I won't. It doesn't mean anything about you. BUT, if you call me, I am usually up for anything!
7. I don't like being told I am stupid, or being belittled in any way.

hello you ok ?
no i dont really think that you sound mentally ill !

your just a very sensitive person with a few different outlooks on situations you have been involved in lately.

my suggestion to you is make yourself some nice new friends who are reliable and trustworthy who wont take advantage of your kind natured heart.

there are plenty of genuine people on here who you might be able to get to know as new friends.

you could allways post a question looking for new friends and see what type of response people give you.

look and you will find these people !
yahoo members you all might be getting a new friend soon if your lucky !.

good luck everyone and happy computing.

No you don't sound mentally ill to me. Just really irritable.

perfectly normal

No, everyone has their peculiarities or eccentricities, if you want to call it.

You sound normal to me!

uhhhh WHAT?

Some if it sounds reasonable (I do #6 myself). It just sounds like you're particular about certain things that wouldn't bother most people.

Yeah you're fine, nothing seems odd here to me... unless we're one in the same personality type.

No you don't sound weird you sound NORMAL!! Just paticullar and maybey you don't like germs and you don't like anyone calling you or your'e baby names, and you love gifts, and get tired by eight! NORMAL! More normal than me, read my questions and you will see!

No, you're fine.

I'm very particular about certain things too, like getting irritable when people don't use coasters.

Not mentally ill.
Just a lil weird.
Number 2 is hilarious though! Lol

Well... you do seem a bit eccentric.

1. Someone might ask "do you want me to hold Thomas?" when it seems that you need some help. There is nothing wrong with someone asking that. Or if they know you well and know that you are not the touchie-huggie type they might be asking if it is OK. Your answer of 'no he is my baby, I want to hold him, ask if you CAN hold him, seems a bit nit-picky to me.

2. Fat babies are healthy babies. They are not calling YOU fat, they are saying that you baby looks health. Perhaps you need to re-frame your thinking.

3. This is a bit odd, but not really crazy. Most new mothers are very possessive of their babies.

4. Again... sort of normal, up to a point. Depends on who is doing the giving. If it is a close friend, enjoy. If it is from a welfare agency, then I think others in your position might feel the same. And that would be normal. But it is not normal if you don't enjoy getting a present from a friend.

5. Now this one is really, really weird. Why would you just let your visitor sit there while you go to your computer and ignore them? This one is not normal. Why can't you tell your visitor that "I am afraid that we are going to have to call it a night now, I have some things I have to finish before bedtime."? That would be more mentally healthy and more polite.

6. This is just a normal quark that you seem to have.

7. No one likes to be belittled, so that
is normal.

No, doesn't sound mentally ill. It sounds more like your tired and irritable, and you are taking a few things said by (most likely the inlaws) the wrong way.
Inlaws undoubtedly have a way of saying the dumbest things to you that will just irk you! That being said, most of the time, they don't mean anything by it.
1. They are asking if they can hold him. Its just their dumb way of doing it.
2. Fat babies with chubby cheeks are cute. And this is healthy. There is nothing wrong with this. Its just bothering you b/c of who said it.
3. Apparently they are touchy feely people. You are not. tell them not to hug you, you don't want it.
4. Enjoy the gifts. Especially if they are for baby. If you don't want it, they don't have to know if you never use it. Regift.
5. I don't blame you. But don't be rude and pull out the computer. Just say, I have to feed Thomas now, and I'm going to need privacy. Or tell them ahead of time that you want family time after 8pm (meaning you, Thomas, and hubby).
6. I don't call anyone either. Just don't have time. Wait till you have 2 kids. You think you don't call anyone now, you really won't then.
7. Don't blame you. Who calls you stupid or belittles you? Don't let them in your house!

no one is mentally ill.
some have mental disorders, but we do not have an illness.
you just seem incredibly uptight. let people hold your baby, they're not going to hurt him. you're going to damage your kids because you're really snobby and you'll make them arrogant and have trust issues.

No . . . just really uptight. Relax a little. Live and let live. Don't over anaylize things. Let people love your child, you are doing him a favor! But most of all, don't push people away just because they aren't perfectly handling your quirky issues, you will find yourself lonely and unhappy.

Even if you were someone I knew and loved, I would find it difficult to deal with these issues and still stay close to you.
