I actually prefer people being outspoken instead of sugarcoating their opinions. Unless of course that person acts like my friend does. The difference here is that I know you mean well, and besides you have this guy's personality pretty much figured out. Since I knew him from before I know that he isn't a completely bad person, he is just really misguided and ignorant in the way that he deals with me. No excuse for being a dork but still. I haven't spoken to him in a little over a week, and I feel just fine. If he stresses me out, and stress makes chronic pain feel worse then he basically ends up adding pain...and I have more than enough as it is.

I need to vent about a few things that happened today but I am too tired to type out much more. The dentist today mentioned that my RSD might have flared up in my face, since they could not find a source for the pain in my jaw and it's following the pattern of only the left side....lovely.
