"well if you don't go they won't invite you again!"
I can think of ONE time when I declined an invitation this year. ONE. hasn't gotten me invited any more.
"quit being down on yourself!"
I have no concrete skills and no job experience. I. HAVE. NO. CONCRETE. SKILLS. NEVER. HAD. JOB. these are facts. I will just have to lie. I. WILL. LIE. this is not being ~~negative~~~ this is called stating facts.
"well they'll never hire you if you say things like that!"
do you really think I am that fucking stupid?? really??? how do you think I have made it through grad school as you are obviously under the impression that I am mentally retarded??
"well send her another message!"
hmm well when I'm the one who has initiated the last 5 meetings/conversations that we have had and have now attempted twice to arrange another social meeting with  no response... sending another message doesn't seem prudent. this is the second time that a "friend" of mine has stopped talking to me.
"well you just have to meet people doing things you like!"
doing WHAT, exactly? everything I like to do is an independent activity. people just don't seem to like me.
"well if you're so negative maybe you won't see opportunities blah blah"
I'm sorry, last time I checked we live on planet earth. shut the fuck up with this stupid magical thinking bullshit. oh, obviously that is why I have had this success, because of positive thinking. oh wait, I've been fucking negative this whole time and just, idk WORKED HARD and USED MY FUCKING BRAIN??? like what the fuck ~~opportunities~~ could come from being willfully stupid and ignorant
