Ugh. All I want to do is sleep and maybe cry a little. Over basically nothing. Sigh.
Yesterday E and I went and met a couple he'd talked to online that seem interesting. They were nice enough, but both very skinny...and I just couldn't get it out of my head that I was super fat and they were not. That there was no way the guy would ever be attracted to me, look at his tiny wife! And of course we got together to eat, which means that food came up...which always makes me feel like the elephant (hah) in the room no one will talk about. They both kept saying they weren't getting enough vegetables in their diets right now, and E mentioned that neither have we, and that I am picky about vegetables. Fantastic. I know the akwardness was in my head but I just wanted to say 'yes, I get it, all this vegetable talk, look at me, clearly i cannot ever eat vegetales, fat people don't eat vegetables!'. Thank you anxiety problem. Being in an anxiety inducing situation is so exhausting. Also they are both 30-ish and have two kids, a house and loads of travelling under their belts. I am 21, have no kids,no house, and have only left the country twice, both times to the states. I feel so akward talking to people when they have so much more life experience than me. I just can't contribute much to conversations about travelling, weddings, kids, house buying, wine tours, doing grad-work, parenting, different cultures (that they have lived in), driving, etc. I'm pretty sure there was a big class difference between E and I and them, as E pointed out....where do they get the money for all this stuff?! They are still both grad students yet they've done aaaall this amazing stuff. My income from now until May is going to be 3000$. Tickets to Japan and back plus expense for a week would be that much. So, yeah...climbing mountains in japan, wine tours in niagera region, Europe....not in my budget.
Oh well, I'm sure it will be better next time we hang out. First time meeting people is always the worst for me.
I went to the doctor yesterday and got some bloodwork done, see if my iron is still low (it will be) and see if my thyroid is ok (probably is). Ugh. I want an easy one pill fix for everything because sometimes I am just not in the mood to deal with everything.
