uh... they aren't cases of my having no money. but... i think i do understand what you are saying. there are a bunch of things that are incompatible with your having no money. buying medication from the pharmacy. driving around a car. etc. people say 'oh yes, i understand, you have no money' but clearly their inability to follow basic inferences around your not being able to pay for prescriptions etc tells you they don't hear you at all.
i had a similar thing (i think) with just needing a quiet place to write my thesis. as in... my being able to hear you talk and sing and whistle and stomp and yell and click is my being in a noisy place not my being in a quiet place. putting me in a room where all those noises are readily heard through the walls is not giving me a quiet place for me to write my thesis. yet when i complain about not having a quiet place to write my thesis you look at me in complete confusion.
how much reading do you do?
do you ever think that if you turn the noise off... it might be a little easier to focus on the words on the page?
i need to be around graduate students / professors in order to write my thesis. because they understand what is needed. most people don't understand. but they think they do. worse... they say they do. and i believed them. which f*ck*d me over, rather. made me crazy.
