\\\"When I stand before god I want to have no talent left so I can say,\\\"I used everything you gave me\\\"\\\"


I am a stociosist. Which means as a sixteen year old girl I am unaffected by the feelings around me. It’s come in handy to not be effected by drama or the loss of a friend. But it’s devastating when someone feels sorrow and you can’t even tell him or her you understand. I’ve had that happen in my life a couple times and I’ve been called a bad friend, or bad girlfriend because of it. And on top of it I’ve had to let go of people because of my ability to not feel anything at all. This is the story of a girl who doesn’t have a meaning behind a smile or frown.

I woke up this morning with a blank look on my face. It’s normal to not shown an expression. It’s how my days start and end. It’s sunny out today in the middle of March. And it’s about seventy degrees so it’s going to be nice to sit in the sun. My little sister is jumping around the living room, excited for the fact that she gets to go swimming. I never understood how she could be so happy over sunshine. But every time I yell at her for being too excited about something she would always tell on me and get me grounded. Great start to my morning, huh?

School isn’t much different though. People wave and smile and so do I. but they have a reason why they’re happy but when they ask me why I am I say, “Because you smiled and waved.” I never have my own reasoning. Today was a good day though. My friend told me a guy liked me. I didn’t have the inclination to respond. But it’s nice to know somebody’s interested. But next week the guy will just be a face in a sea of other companionable faces. Nothing to special, and nothing that will make my day “happy” or “brilliant”. That’s a normal school day for the, “psycho girl” or the” freak with no emotion”. Yes, those are the names that I get called. Most people don’t even know my real name.

Today was an exquisitely bland day. Nothing to exciting happened. My heart wasn’t broken, my heart wasn’t stolen, I didn’t laugh at any jokes that were thrown my way, and I didn’t cry at the mean words that were suppose to be sticks and stones. But there is a secret I’ve been keeping. Yes, stociosists can keep secrets. The thing is I haven’t always been diagnosed with stoicism. A year ago when I was a sophomore I had the best life. All the friends you could want, that gave you nights you would never forget. I had the perfect boyfriend that made me fly high. At that time I believed in happiness, and being excited. I believed in miracles. But when all that went away so did my smile and the meaning behind it. I was just so numb that sadness was out of the question. From that day forward I could no longer feel anything. This is the real story of my secret. This is the story of a broken girl diagnosed with stoicism

She can have friends. That's the thing. She isn't isolated. And other kids don't really bother talking to her because she won't be able to really care. I mean she can act like it but she can't. And she is isolated because of what happened in her past.

I really do like it. Though I agree with the others that you should comb over it, check for pumctuation, or little things like that, but it was very emotional! Don't suppose you'd want to look poover some of my stuff?

Also, why can't she have any friends because she has no emotion? As a writer, you did not give reason nor imply why this person is isolated. Whether they isolate themselves or if the other kids isolate them. It just does not make much sense I'm afraid

See the thing is with my writing is I potray what other people are feeling. And a person shouldn't be so offended by my writing, because this was to no one in particular. Sorry for anyone that thought it was about them, but they shouldn't be so conceeded. I don't have any one that I care about or that I am friends with that this is about.

sounds alot like someone else I know. If you are going to use material that was given to you in the form of someone who actually has a this disorder, ask their permission before you write almost verbatum what they told you. You simply put your name in their place.

I wanted people to relate to this. I thought that was the right thing to do. Maybe it could give someone help too. To let them know everyone is going through it.

Thank you!

It was my goal to have it connect to people. Like I said in my other comments I think everyone has this state of no emotion that they go through because of something sad that happened. And they just don't want to feel anymore.

&quot;All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.&quot;

Wow! This is so realistic! I can relate to this myself, as I have often tried to be emotionless so as not to get hurt by the people around me. This school year was my first in public school, and after leading such a sheltered and safe 'at-home' life, it was a hgue shock to me. I basically did not want to get involved. I didn't want to let people get too close and put a wall up aorund my emotions and my true self. I've lossened up much more now, but I can sitll relate at times. Excellent job; keep writing!

Thank you! :). It means a lot to have feedback. Whether it's good or bad. And that's nice that I was able to potray the emotionless state. I believe that all of us go through a period of time like that. Even if it's only for a day or week. Thanks again! :)

Everything makes sense if you think too much about it.

This is excellent.

I sometimes fear that I was close to this point...and now I see how much I stood to lose.

Great job.
