and i've never had anyone tell me it's all in my head, thank goodness, or i'd actually have to describe all the things i've gone through. really, they don't want to hear it! i'd make it down and dirty, too, man! i've been waiting for that, but everyone's being so darn NICE.

You are lucky...maybe I should invite you to my next family function!

A lot of it is me though, I think. I'm a real people-pleaser and if I think there is even a remote chance that I'm going to hurt someone's feelings, I absolutely cringe I've slowly tried being more assertive, but it's really hard sometimes when you're the only one not eating certain things. Most of my friends and family are the "meat and potatoes" type. If I'm the only one at the table not eating any roast beef or ham (or whatever), it definitely gets noticed! But you are so right - it is not worth getting sick over (I just have to keep reminding myself of that!).
