A few days ago I mentioned my frustration with Wikipedia because every time I notice something that's wrong and needs to be changed, someone changes it back literally within seconds. Last night I went back to the article and changed it again, this time leaving a note on the user's Talk page explaining my edit. He accepted that I was right and my edit is still there. Neither of us was mean about it, and yet I feel like a donkey now. 
But why should you feel bad when the other person was the one who was being an unreasonable obstacle? Worrying about being bad has its place, but it does get taken to an excess these days.
A donkey?
That's just it, it's irrational for me to feel this way, and yet I do. I know it's irrational, but it's an instinctual feeling that I can't control.

It's just the same with eye contact. Cognitively, I know it is harmless and reassures other people, but it still causes the panic response.

And you can't say The Lady's name, which starts with an L and rhymes with a common aquatic bird. If you try too hard, you'll get the kind of fortune a Gamblers' Guild located near a continually exploding Alchemists' Guild will get.

She loves to torture me. Just when things start really looking up for me; they fall apart for reasons beyond my control & I get burned. Sometimes I feel like I'm only wasting my time & getting hurt by trying
