So Confused About Changes

I already wrote a post today, but I need to get some things off my chest. I am so confused about things. I have avoided so many situations and places and people. I think its gotten to the point that people have given up on me. You see ever since I made the police complaint I notice a change in people around me. I focus on the possibility that I may causing a self fulfilling prophecy with my more tense body language. But I feel as if so many people try to avoid me. I have gotten comments about how my energy is negative and it is like poison to those around me, but it is so confusing because I keep to myself. I go out of my way to not hurt people with what I am. How do I still manage to do so.

My cousin just had a baby and I was so excited to meet her, but any contact I have tried to make has failed. I feel so unwanted by my family. I feel as though they are very upset because I said something. That they feel I just want attention or should just deal with it. No one believes that it happened. They all treat me as if I just want attention.

I finally went to my mma class again and I felt as though so many things was different. Like people were avoiding me. There is one guy I worked with the most so I felt as though we were becoming friends. I mean we talk and laugh together, I now a little bit about his personal life, I care about him as a person. But a while back I felt as though he was mad at me for something, he went from goofy and supportive to a bit more irritated. I figured maybe he was having bad days or under a lot of stress so I gave him space, but was sad at the fact that I may have done something to make him upset. Either way I decided to respect his space and only be around him when I felt I was invited.

When I came back after a couple weeks, I still notice the slight cold shoulder so I respect it. We get partnered and he starts acting like his usual goofy self. But you can tell it is more forced. Another thing is whenever people people put on pads usually other students naturally help the other because it is difficult to do, but I notice everyone helps each other, but no one ever offers me help. I do not mind, I can put them on fine, but I do not understand why people go out of their way to make it known that I am not to be helped.

A part of fears that this can be because they are avoiding giving me attention, which is fine I do not want attention, but do they have to exclude me from everything and go out there way to make it known I do not fit. It is just hard because I am already so wounded, but do I really need to add to those wounds. In a way I guess I feel like I am being punished for reaching out, that a lesson is trying to be taught. But what I learned is no one can help me and I am not worth helping.

I understand I can't really say what is really going on and may not even be worth thinking about, but I can't help but think I am doing something horribly wrong that I cause people to treat like poison. I keep trying to fix it. I don't want to be friends with everyone, I just want to treated like I am human too.
 
Are you able to give a bit more context/background to this post to help people understand better what is going on for you? It's a little hard (for me anyway) to comment without more detail.
You see ever since I made the police complaint I notice a change in people around me.
Do all the people you feel are avoiding you or treating you coldly, know about the police complaint? What was the nature of the complaint? Is it something that might make people awkward around you in that they just don't know what to say about it? Sometimes when something bad happens to someone, people can end up avoiding the person, not because they don't care, but because they don't know how to - it is too far outside of there experience.
I focus on the possibility that I may causing a self fulfilling prophecy with my more tense body language.
I think there maybe some truth in this from things you have said in this post. Not necessarily to do just with body language, but I am wondering if, because you are expecting people to treat you this way for some reason, that that is maybe what you are dictating on and not noticing their other behaviours?
I have gotten comments about how my energy is negative and it is like poison to those around me,
From who?
I feel so unwanted by my family. I feel as though they are very upset because I said something.
Was the police report something to do with a family member?
A part of fears that this can be because they are avoiding giving me attention
Why would people not want to give you attention? I'm a bit confused by this bit - do you feel that people think you get too much attention and so are avoiding giving it? Are you worried about receiving attention for something?

I feel like there is a lot more to this but I don't know enough of your story.
 
I made a police report about my father showing up at my past jobs and my concerns that he may be stalking me, or trying to remind me of the danger I am in if I say anything. He was going to my old job making friends with everyone and it just made me panic. I called the police and it did not do anything. They can't do anything!!!!

The indirect comments come from school and work and by family. People use there tone of voice which is what makes me feel as though it is directed. Plus my family is upset because they feel I should just keep it in and leave it alone, and that it is my reaction to what happened is the problem. I have even had school counselors tell me all I have to do is change my attitude and be positive and then everything will work out. The thing is I am always happy and smiling so what can I change.

When I was attack in LA I made a police report and they treated me like I was lying and even had me reenact what happened if front of everyone. No one believed me, and my brother and dad were the ones who came down to check on me, and my dad made it point to the police that I was asking for it because I was refusing to move in with him and leave my ex. And the police ate up every word and treated me as such. I wanted to scream out to world so they could understand. I should of, he would have never hurt me when I was with me ex. I am more scared now because my current partner is not threatening at all and my father has made a point to take advantage of that, I have dealt with more threats since I left my ex.

Say anything about...him? Something he did? Sorry, I'm still struggling to work out what this about.

Is this what your dad doesn't want you to say anything about? Did he attack you? Or is this something separate?

You didn't answer if the people you feel are treating you coldly know about the police report. Is it something that you told a lot of people about? If not, then I can't see how that would cause a change in how they treat you. Reporting may have effected the way you are looking at people though. Made you feel more vulnerable and so you are picking up on those things more. Maybe. I have to admit I'm still not much clearer about what has happened to you, but it seems like you have a history of people not believing you, taking things seriously? That could be feeding into some paranoid type feelings now? That would be understandable.

What sort of threats?

I'd be careful about reading more into things than is actually said.

Plus my family is upset because they feel I should just keep it in and leave it alone,
Again, does this refer to your dad in some way, or to something else.
 
This is bit hard for me to bring up all over again, I have posted other threads that explain things more clearly, I just have been interrogated enough by police and family I just don't want constantly re-explain and relive, I am tired of being interrogated.[DOUBLEPOST=1400448199,1400448026][/DOUBLEPOST]I understand if you are trying to help but I would appreciate you would respect my space and boundaries. When I encounter people with PTSD I make a note not to pry and only except info they are willing to give because I know asking certain questions can bring back the moments. If you are so curious you can get the info yourself.[DOUBLEPOST=1400448285][/DOUBLEPOST][notice]Your attacking post towards @digger has been removed by staff[/notice]

It's not an interrogation. I was trying to gain enough info to give you a considered response, but maybe feedback was not what you were looking for. Perhaps you were just venting. It would be helpful if you'd said that in your initial post and I wouldn't have wasted my time responding.

Curiosity and prying had nothing to do with it. I'm sorry you see it that way. I wasn't asking for specifics about your history, just enough information to get a better idea of why you're feeling the way you are about other people at the moment. Feelings aren't always facts. For me, it is helpful sometimes to have other people look more objectively at what I'm saying, but I appreciate they might have some questions to get the bigger picture. Again if that's not what you were looking for, sorry.

You're still not respecting my boundaries. I am sure if you had PTSD you understand the frustration and irritation that comes with it. When you are dealing with so many triggers are you the most friendly person, I don't think so. Stop drifting to the point of harassment. and leave me alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow. Seriously? My last post was an attempt to explain that I wasn't trying to upset you and that it wasn't about disrespecting your boundaries. I didn't ask any questions in it so I'm not sure why you think it was harassing you. I hope you will come back and see that later.

I won't comment on your posts again.
 
I did ignore it and there were still messages coming, it took like a half a day I made a report because I thought that was the right thing to do before I wrote back, and it was ignored. I know I am new here, but I have seen others react in a upset matter on this page and not receive a block. Thanks just like everyone else, you try to speak out and you get no solutions. I may not have handled it right, but I did not know how, I ignored when I found the button. This so frustrating just like my attackers I am the problem right? I am so sick and tired of this!!!!! I ask for my boundries to be respected and they were not. But I have no rights right? I am so done with everyone, why don't they just send me to a mental hospital or jail. that way I do not have to bother anyone anymore. I am so sick of everyone. I try so hard to speak out, and it always gets thrown back in my face. I guess asking someone to leave you alone is not enough. Asking someone to respect your space is too much. I know I am new and may not know many people as well here, but that doesn't mean that my complaints are not valid!!!!

This is a reasonable request. And it was the right way to say it, your suggestion was not any better then this. I got upset, and that was wrong but someone unable to respect what I am asking of is not harassment. I did appreciate the help, but I did not appreciate the push. I shouldn't of said a curse word and that was my only crime.

It seems very mature that person receive an objection towards their actions, and still go for it, and then when they can't handle it they report you, after I had already complained about their behavior. Why did it take so long to report my curse word. Was it really a concern or retaliation.

You did not ask for any boundaries to be respected until post #5, when you attacked someone who was trying to help and support you.

As I said before

If you post on a forum, there is a very good chance that you will get diverse responses. Take what's helpful to you, and ignore what's not helpful, but don't attack other members who are offering support.


and then when they can't handle it they report you, after I had already complained about their behavior. Why did it take so long to report my curse word. Was it really a concern or retaliation.

And just for the record you reported a post by @digger , which was ignored/over ruled because digger didn't break any forum rules. digger didn't report anything.


Why did it take so long to report my curse word.
Your curse word wasn't reported, it was seen by me.

You got a warning because I and other staff read your post and agreed that your post was attacking. And yes, we are busy, we have our own lives to deal with, so it can often be a few days between you posting, and staff reading, hence why it 'took so long'. but your post wasn't reported.

You are now digging yourself in a big hole by making assumptions, with regards to what you think has happened and the reality of it all.

Keep this thread on track, or it will be closed/ locked.
