Having a rough day, complete with overwhelmed pity party.

Would it be wrong of me to seek out my stalker so she can be obnoxious and wrong about important stuff so I can get inspired by her stupidity?



ON EDIT: I have this person on Ignore; what are the odds anyone reading this briefly wonders if I am talking about them?!?

Didn't impact as much as one negative comment.

My head does not feel screwed on straight today.

Sigh.

There will be days when you think that you are the problem, only to find out later it's not you, it's someone else.

I've never personally had one (I mean why would I, no one likes me), but I have friends who have had them. One of my Swedish friends on Facebook has several that continue to pop-up and harass him.

She thinks I am a liar who hates disabled people (the crazy is strong with her) who also promotes woo woo science and such. She introduced me to Meta, where she started not one but THREE threads being meta-like about me.

In her defense, she really believes everything bad about me, and wants to protect the world from what she perceives as MY crazy. Lol!

With the benefit of sleep, I am now realizing that part of why I want to engage with her is in the undoubtedly mistaken belief that if I show her evidence that the "impossible" thing that started the flame of conflict last year is TRUE, then convincing "others" will be easier.

Reality is that she isn't interested in learning anything that would conflict with what she "knows" to be true. (This is something we are all guilty of sometimes!). And I am about to be smack dab in the middle of dealing with literally THOUSANDS of people just like her....but if I don't, then literally TENS OF THOUSANDS of children will pay the price for my cowardice....
