OP gets gold star for trolling, though. This is like...shit I did when I was in college and had nothing but time on my hands.

Why would I update someone who mocks me for something I can't help? Horrible person.

LOL, not expecting YOU to update, silly. You do seem to have a lot of time on your hands, though. Do you work? Or if not, maybe you should fill your time with a hobby instead of interacting with mean nasty people on DCUM. It's clear you're not really looking for any advice, nor an answer to your question. so come on.. tell us your REAL story. We'll be gentle, I promise (well, I will be). What gave you the idea for this scenario? Were you planning it all along, or did you just start with a seed and let it grow and develop as the replies came in? Seriously, it's genius. Take a bow.

Congratulations on having friends and living in my dream world where everyone is kind, friends are easy to make, and no one moos at you in the parking lot of the grocery store.

So are you saying you're obese, got moo'd at as if you are a cow, and it embarrassed you so you're too ashamed to leave the house except for church and therapy and you claim anxiety for what is really embarrassment? If you're not already, you should work on developing a thicker skin with your therapist. People make comments to me, and I shrug them off and go about my day. Why value a stranger's opinion? Why absorb cruelty from a stranger? That's not worth my time. That's how I view it. Think of water rolling off a duck's back.

I'm not obese, bu yes, and water off a ducks back is exactly what my therapist says. I guess though, when you never hear a kind word, the harsh ones hurt more.

I'm glad people think I'm trolling - it means they haven't dealt with this stuff.

Can't you ask your DH to make the RSVP call then?

Now there's mooing involved? Oh God hands down a troll. Good call PPs who nailed it!

OP, you're boring me now. I'm moving on to the ordering at a restaurant thread. Ta-ta.

Because everyone loves you, people are never hateful, right?

He won't do it because I cried about it. It's part of his tough love thing that I don't react well to.

Yep, the moo'ing was a pretty fabulous addition.

The next DSM should have a diagnosis for this kind of behavior.

Good for you that people are kind to you.

I just came back from there.

OP I think you need to stop responding to this thread. It obviously isn't helping you at all and I think now that people are a bit fed up with you, it's only going to get more vicious. If you are really so fragile that you can't bear to interact with anyone, I highly recommend stepping away and finding something constructive to do.

Very true, and excellent/kind advice.

I'd bet April's mortgage though that OP can't resist. This is just entertainment for her.

OP, I don't buy that you have social issues or a disorder that prevents you from interacting with people, or even a fear of doing so. I have a social anxiety disorder, for which medication helps but doesn't cure, and I agonize about starting threads on DCUM. Then afterwards, I am anxious about checking for replies, even if it's a really innocuous question, like about diaper rash cream or kindergarten homework. If you were really as uncomfortable interacting as you say, I would think you would have ditched this thread looooong ago, yet you continue to respond to every reply, and are clearly enjoying the attention.

I mean, really, this is bordering on one of the classic DCUM threads, where the OP was "Ibero-American" and again, responded to every single person. I think the original subject was related to a wedding. Who knows what I'm talking about??

If this is for real, your DH sounds horrible. What does he think will be accomplished if he refuses to help with this kind of thing? He's hurting both you and your DC (who could suffer social repercussions if this continues - something you should think about too when deciding to be polite to other mothers or not out of your own fears).

I also don't understand the 15 wedding RSVPs comment you made earlier.

MOOOOOOOOOOO ????

I guess it just proves to me that I've made the right decision to isolate myself. I can't do anything right.

DCUM is my only social outlet, though, and yes, it's made me more bitter and way less likely to meet people in real life. But it's all I have. I've even tried crying out for help on Facebook and no one responds.
