I was going to sleep but have had an idea.

There are things I want to get off my chest (besides mucus and phlem) and I wondered if Facebook is the way to go. If people could see me in a new light I wouldn't have so much of aproblem trying to fit in.

Does anybody have any advice regarding this. I need to make a stand because I have felt opressed and silenced for far too long (my typing is getting faster here).

Years of hearing "Shut up Ben, nobody cares", "Your gay" and "Go away" have taken thier toll on me. Plus general negativity which still goes on. Whu can't people grow up.
Yes if anybody on here can assist me, any encouragement right now would be much appreciated. I only wish more people could read this and understand that I may have it good compared too some but I am just so tired. I think I hit an all time low.


Excuse any grammar issues I'm using my phone.

Here's the thing with big long shpiels on Facebook:

The people you are trying to target won't be affected at all, usually. They are generally hard-headed enough to just disregard anything anyone says, even if it makes perfect sense.
Personally, I like writing them. I like to tell people that there is another side of me they don't always see, whether because of embarrassment, or whatever.
I don't really see how anyone could use it against you, so there really, in my eyes, is no harm in doing it.
There are people that may listen, though. Will they tell it to your face? Maybe. But just because they read it and don't respond, doesn't mean that it doesn't mean anything to them. They would just be too embarrassed of themselves to say anything. I fear though, that the people you are talking about won't care. But you know what, forget them. They probably won't change as long as you know them, so why not write something like this. It's better to write something, have a few people understand it, then to not write it at all.
If you want to talk ever, I'm just a PM away.

It is a really really good idea. The only thing is, people skip over peoples postings on Facebook all the time. So it might be less effective as like Steven says they are usually hard headed enough to ignore it.

My suggestion would be like Steven said, write to them. It might no be effective but, it is much better than doing it online. I can ensure you of that.

To be honest people like that who insult you ain't worth your time, yet I can respect that you need to speak up. I wish you the best of luck.
