Why is it, when all you wanna do is just vent and destress, someone ALWAYS has to do the whole "Miss I-Know-Everything" routine and only piss me off more?
My older brother has had a lifelong fight with depression and NO esteem issues. The poor guy's got a negative-level esteem, and the outright HATE he gets from his ex and their son doesn't help any. He's a good guy, always tries to please, although he's wickedly co-dependant because of his issues, and I at least understand this. Last night he messaged me saying he was heading up to my place (I live in KY, he's in GA) because he was sick of whatever has been going on down in his neck of Hell. Later, he changed his mind and left me a disturbing note on FB... 'Not coming taking road to hell where I belong. Good by and love you'... That was it. Needless to say, I freaked out. Called the cops in the area that he was last known to be in, but the address on record was wrong, he hadn't updated his ID and so no one knew where he was. Freaking dragon X10 now.
I get home and he sends me a new message, that he'd spent the night at a hotel and was heading in to work. Ok, not freaking anymore but still pissed. So I make my annoyance known in a Skype group that I'm in for my EQ2 Guild, and our Guild Leader goes all-knowing... She does that about every damned thing! How her mate can put up with her, I don't know! But I know my brother better than anyone and she was trying to say SHE knows more!
Am I looney for being enraged with her? Or am I right?
If she can't kick you out of your Guild... bitch at her with all your dragon powers. If she can kick you out of the guild.. tell her gently that you are the one who knows YOUR brother best, and although you need to vent you'd appreciate her not butting in with advice.
**snugnoms to both** Thanks, you guys... I just... **grumbles** That was all I needed to do, and she severely overstepped her bounds IMHO. She doesn't know me, and she sure as hell doesxn't know my brother. There are some days when you need a good swift kick from someone who really does care, not a shrink, and not psychobabble from someone who just doesn't 'get it'... and isn't qualified to really do anything... ^^;
To express your feelings to people without comment or unwanted advice is your damn right.
All I needed was just venting room. Doesn't help my brother keeps finding new ways of twisting my tail... **sighs**
I just don't want to sound like a bad person, most here know that if I could, I'd adopt every one of you, take over this thrice-cursed block of apartments, and move y'all here. But she keeps rubbing my fur the wrong way and it's grating on my patience. How her mate can deal with her... **headwall**

You have every right. Although I'd be more pissed at your brother for putting up with his little bit of hell instead of kicking it to the side and getting the help he needs. But that's just me and I honestly have little experience helping those who don't do it for themselves.
*Hugs* As for Know it alls, they need a kick in the rear. Seriously. >_< I dislike people like that. Unless they REALLY know what the hell they are talking about....
I need my morning coffee... XD
