Oops, meant no offense. I wasn’t directing those comments to you since you’re right, you never said those things. When I started off by saying “when you delve into this with people…” I meant that to read that when I’ve had previous conversations with Hopkins students in the past this has been brought up, not with you. Clearly I’ve thought about this before, and you’re bound to hear it come up when people complain at Hopkins that they are feeling stressed out by other’s actions. It was tough to see how it would really affect people and you just want to shake them and say “you can solve it now and it only requires you!” But it’s a skill that just takes time to learn. My whole post, which delved into some serious sarcasm, was more a message to them than to you. Sometimes I try and go beyond just directly addressing the OP since many people read these threads and I think it’s important for people (not you, personally, you seem very mature with a genuine concern, besides, you’re not even at the school yet so how do I know how you’ll act?) to realize that this happens and how best to combat it in your own life.
