Jiko - I dated an Egyptian guy who was 16 years older than me once, and he was much more immature than I was. He also seemed deceptively nice and kind until I actually started dating him. This obviously isn't true of every Egyptian guy, or at least I hope not, but you have to remember that, according to Wikipedia at least, about 95% of Egyptians are Muslims and I don't have anything negative to say about individual Muslims, but the religion generally encourages men to think of women as subhuman or at least subordinate to the men. My experience was that this guy was hot, funny, and absolutely wonderful to me, but when I agreed to see him all of a sudden my opinions didn't matter. He never answered my phone calls because he said I was bothering him, and he just came over without calling whenever he wanted, which was borderline creepy. He would also insist I do things than I didn't want to do, and if I refused, he got really angry and acted like I was this total b***h who was just out to ruin his life. He basically wanted me to be a toy and just agree to do everything he wanted me to. I heard from others that I was lucky, because other women had been hit and physically abused by him. That never happened to me, but it's something I wish I'd known about that before I started dating him. After three months I got tired of being treated like s**t and broke it off with him, and guess what? He was honestly surprised. When I explained why I was breaking it off, he got mad again, and couldn't believe I'd call it quits over how he treated me when he was "so good to me." D<
I'm not saying all Egyptian or Muslim men are bad people, but what I am saying is they have very different values than most Westernized people do. I think they make pretty good friends as the guy I dated and I are on amiable terms now and can joke and laugh about things, but... my advice would be to make sure that this guy knows your intentions are friendly and you would never be interested in dating him. He certainly sounds interested in dating you.

sikh-91 That actually sounds weird... not you, the guy D: And at least nothing bad happened to you heart I know. I feel like I dodged a bullet sometimes. xD The funny thing is that I still see a lot of him since we work together, and he's become determined to get me to go out with him again. He asks every couple of months. rofl

I am feeling so sick lately, from either anxiety or just being stressed/depressed.
I thought I felt better since I talked to a close friend about it, but.. I guess not sweatdrop even though I took his advice >.< and also secretly binged on an entire 2 ounces of pocky, oh so delicious *-*
I have seriously got to beat this depression. Have to beat it. It's just so hard when it takes sooooo much to make me feel better, and takes so little to make me feel worse. Maybe I should dump more in here? At least to get it out, 'cause talking to that friend really did make me feel better (while I was doing it).
Not to mention, he's distracting as all hell xd
And if I can't own this depression by December... D< shkdhgkslhgd there shall be hell to pay!

•○♣☼♣○• gonk Marisssss Yes, talking helps. Also pocky is yummy I don’t blame you! I ate like half a packet of the most delicious and fattening chocolate chip cookies by myself today... mmmmm <3 You know depression has to do with chemical imbalances in the brain as well... I found that when I was depressed I needed help (not that I wanted it at the time) so perhaps keep in mind the option to visit a Dr? Also eating right, sleeping properly and exercising helps. I don’t know Maris, it depends on how serious this is and how long it’s been going on. Keep fighting the depression and doing your best! As Peo said, if you ever feel the need to talk then PM/IM/Skype me <3 {laughlaugh!} ---o0o--- Kam {relax and breathe} •○♣☼♣○•

@Perfy- I m trying just a bit/really angry that hes messing up juju in the now.
Just ignore this part:
Ever since I talked about failure to someone , I just cant help but think about friends and family I let down the passed few years and how much I wish I could do something, I hate myself still for some of it because I wish I couldve changed it and then again I m angry because everything always seems good and then it explodes

*nods* Perfy is right. If it goes on for a long time you should go see a doctor about it!

And it's not because he is from Egypt or because he's Muslim that he would strike a woman. It's because he's a jerk. There are plenty of American "Christians" they hit their girlfriends and wives.

Everything seems so surreal today. Actually, it's felt like that for a few weeks, but today is worse than usual.
I'm also bored, but just... don't feel like doing anything. I was trying to paint earlier, but have no inspiration. I was going to play KH for a while, but I'm just not interested. I can't watch any anime/ tv/ movies for the same reason.
=|
I feel kinda... seperate from the rest of the world right now. Like everyone and everything is moving at a really fast pace, and I'm not moving at all.
