This entire thread seems like it comes from an untold personal drama. drizzlegirl, remember that some people will make ad personam attacks because, well, they don't know any better. You have to be able to tell what was wrong on your part and what wasn't. Don't pick up these kind of attacks, learn to discard them as they do not help you understand how to improve, nor they facilitate the process. As said before, get a better idea of your capacities and limitations, get stronger and more confident while constantly finding ways to improve yourself. Make your charachter bolder and learn to counterattack when it's right to do so, as well as learning from your mistakes and separating the insult from the actual, legitimate critiques.

thick skin wouldn't be needed if everyone were always patient and understanding.

being patient and understanding wouldn't be needed if everyone always had thick skin.

strive for both? I guess that's what I'm getting at haha.

Since when does someone need justification to do something?
If you fight all of the expectations society puts on you that you never agreed to, you will forever be struggling.
Pretty much the only thing you can do is explain your view of things, of that expectation, and why it's bogus or wrong etc, and hope that you can change how some people perceive you and the world. Doing that can even be cathartic, win win.
If someone doesn't listen to you, that's their problem. Not everyone is worthy of your attention.

lol what

there are 365 days in a year.

18*365=6570.
depending on the year you were born, you've either lived through 4 or 5 leap years by the time you turn 18.
6570-4/5 = 6565 or 6566.
your 18th birthday is 1st day of 19th year of your life.
= 6566 or 6567th day on earth.

Thank you, I agree with everything you said except for your last sentence. :) I appreciate your point of view, and I'll follow your advice about explaining my viewpoint to the people who irritate me. ^.^

leap years are 366 days not 364

for every 4 years you add one day...
anyway this is seriously off topic. Stop.

You literally cannot pay attention to everyone in your life. There isn't enough time to. You must pick and choose.
