4. Good to know it's not just me.

I think I'm sensitive to things more than most people.

Most people go happily through life without worrying about stuff I do.

Ok, then, good to know. I'm somewhat lucky that I work with one guy, who I taught everything about coding, and over the last year, he created a website in the hope of making some extra money. Today, he told me he just got his first signup! He's getting 20 unique visitors a day in his 1st week. I was thinking 1/100 is a pretty good success rate. I'm also working on my own site, but it's taking me more time.

But I just wish I worked with someone who could help me whenever I have a question. Instead I need to post questions on forums with people who I know work in skilled teams, who probably think I'm an idiot for asking such things.

When I went to my last interview, I was having to talk to techies who talk to one another all day. I have nobody to talk to about such things and I don't think they take that into consideration. That I actually need to work harder than them from day to day because nobody is helping me.

Anyway it's just driving me a little nuts but I will try to be strong.
