You should never apply your own situations to other peoples. I know it’s hard because your own experiences are all we have to learn from. But just trying to wrap my head around the differences between two situations has given me a headache.
I’m going through difficulties atm. Everyone is coz of year 12. And mostly I’m ok about it, better than some others I think. But... some things are hard on me. Especially coz everything is loading up on me, that’s generally what happens with me. By itself everything is ok, but when it’s all put together, it’s just too much for me to bear. Right about now you’re probably saying to yourself that the same thing happens to everyone else as well and that I’m just complaining about nothing. And that may be true. I know that there is most likely people about there who have much more difficult situations than I do. But that knowledge doesn’t make it any easier for me to bear.
I don’t deal very well with stress. Although I’m sure it seems that I do. Shazz asked me at school this morning why i wasn’t stressing out about the exams. What she doesn’t realise is that i am stressing out, but in my own way. I almost never show stress. I hold it in and bottle it up, which i know isn’t healthy for me and is probably what is making me sick. But it’s just how I deal with it. Especially right now, with the exams, what would be the use of freaking out, or ‘breaking down’? Everyone else apparently is, but there are two reasons why I’m not: 1) its only midyear and I’m saving my panic for finals. 2) In a lot of ways I’ve already given up on my subjects.
Actually it was probably at the end of last year, when i had finished my year 12 subjects (talking mainly about biology here coz id already given up on psychology) and i realised that i hadn’t done any where near as well as id thought id been doing, and nowhere near as well as id needed to be doing. learning at the beginning of this year that noone had done very well at biology helped my pessemism a little but... i dont know if they were actually trying though or if they were just playing around.

I wasn't freaking out/breaking down because of exams. I don't think I ever really did, not even last year. And what happened IN my English exam doesn't count.

Everybody does. Always. It's instinctual. Because the only way that you can possibly relate at all is by remembering something that's happened to you. If you didn't, you'd be completely unemotional and non-responsive. We wouldn't be people if we didn't associate other experiences with our own.
But, I think I'm being pedantic. You probably meant that we shouldn't expect others' situations to be the same as our own. Which, I guess, makes sense. It's frustrating to have someone say, "I know how you feel," when really they have no clue. And I'm probably just like that at times too.
