Is it normal to get deppressed so easily?

I know how you feel.

I remember starting at the job where I work now, and we have to wear our hair back all the time. I'm not really confident with my hair back either. So it always feels like I'm standing naked in a crowded room whenever I'm there. Although, I must say, I'm getting a little more comfortable about it these days.

Anyway, I'm gonna tell you a story why judgmental people really aren't worth it. Why their opinions really don't matter. Most people really aren't gonna bother reading it, because they don't give a rats ass, but whatever, I'm telling you this story anyway. Here goes:

There was this girl that I went to school with when I was little. And in the fourth grade, she walked up to me at recess and told me she thought I looked ugly with my hair back. All her friends were laughing at me, and it sounds stupid, but from that day on, I actually wore my hair down. Pretty dumb, right? Yes. Well, that was alright anyway, because later on that same year I found out that the boy I had a crush on, who was one of her snotty little popular friends so called bf(I know 4th grade, right?), dumped her because he had a crush on me. His reasons for liking me; at the time he told me he thought that she was annoying and snobbish, and that I was pretty, funny, smart, and easy to talk to. Then, later on in the 7th grade, this girl and I became friends. Why? Is probably what you're asking. But to make a long story short, she was like a new person. A sweetheart. I decided to ask her...(it had been 3yrs later), "So, you really think I look ugly w/ my hair back?" She didn't know what the heck I was talking about. Which led me to explain what I remembered that time at recess back in the fourth grade. When I told her, she again, didn't remember saying that. And she told me, "I never thought you were ugly." Of course I told her that she was lying. And she told me I was crazy to think that she thought that about me. Blah, blah, blah.

My point is that, girls always remember that stuff. We always remember who hurt us, and what they did or said that hurt us. I'm gonna be 21 this year, and I still remember that. Even though I became friends with that girl, I still remember that. However, the fact that she didn't remember that, probably shows how insignificant what she said to me really was. She probably really didn't feel that way at all. OR she didn't care enough to remember. She probably was just a jealous little girl. That story is a great example of how people like to talk through their ass! Bottom line; people have a tendency to just throw words around. A lot of times they don't even really know wth they're saying, they just are too quick to put other people down to try to make themselves feel better about themselves. So don't take assholes so seriously. They just don't know what they're talking about, or they have ulterior motives stemming from jealousy or some other form of emptiness they feel inside. I bet you're as pretty as your bf says you are. Listen to him. And don't mind people who don't matter.

P.S. I'm so sorry for how long that was, but I just had to get that off my chest. :p Also, don't hesitate to talk to a counselor if you really feel its getting that bad. I wish you the best of luck!

I only get angry or upset when someone says something to me or about me that I myself have a problem with. I think you get upset because you are insecure with yourself. It also seems like you could be depressed or something else could be going on. I find that when I have an episode I overreact and think irrationally about things that I usually wouldn't.
