I can’t stand when I am trying to be serious about something and someone makes a joke about it.

For instance:

My dad emailed everyone in the church to completely an anger assessment for what we are studying for bible study. Well, after I filled it out I realized that I am a very angry person.

I found more tests online and completed them and I scored so high on everyone of them that the description said I needed to seek professional help.

So I email my concern about this to people in my family and I get back, “LOL…We all know you need help.”

Thanks so much for taking this as a joke.

That makes me feel even better!!

And they wonder why I get angry so much.

I sometimes wish I was apart of a different family where I can be appreciated. Instead of when I come to them I usually get a “well…you should have done this” or “you should have done that.”

How about some words of encouragement? Is that so much to ask?

Apparently so.
