Flight

Although this isn't exactly your typical fight or flight scenerio, with all of the things happening as of late, I found that my typical response to stress is flight, or simply, denial, such as by making jokes out of it or focusing on something else, anything to push it away. Seeing how other people respond to various problems I know they're facing, I can't help but admire their attitude and strength. I cannot fully grasp what they must be feeling. I mean, most people do not talk about their problems, so really, who knows what else they're dealing with. Props to them. If it were me, all I'd be saying would be fuck off. Heh, I guess it doesn't really help that I have trouble letting things go once I start to think about them, so it's an endless cycle for me that just keeps on building. Man I've gotta learn how to deal. Having time to think about one's problems prolly made it worse. This summer I did nothing, yet it was prolly the most stressful one I've ever had. Now that I look at how I respond to problems, I realize I've gotta change, or I'm gonna get an ulcer or something by the time I'm 30 :D (see, I joked about it again) I won't bore you with details, but for starters, I know one thing that I've gotta do is to not let go of people who are good for me. Should be easy, yet for me it's surprisingly hard.
