What's Bothering You?

idk what to do to stop it
So, if some college athletes can get paid, how about I get paid to learn useful information that I can apply for future jobs? I may not be fully understanding the concept of this whole “image and likeness” thing, but in my mind, it seems unfair that struggling students who are trying to get a low-key education spend close to three decades paying off a loan, and many can’t even move out of their parents’ house after graduating and getting hired. Meanwhile, some athletes have it incredibly easy. I know not everyone is getting Clark money, but it still bothers me that being physically gifted can get you through college “rent free” essentially.
Tuition in general is really turning me off from going back to school. I’m not going to spend over $1,000 a month for 30 years for a degree that I may not even use. I’m already a victim of dropping out of college super early and facing the financial consequences. That’s why I hate the big schools so much.

i lowkey regret not getting jaw surgery when i had the option. i look in the mirror sometimes and i think to myself “damn it really IS that bad.” i know it’s trivial but it makes me so self conscious, i look like a fricking simpsons character from the side.
You all have real worries. I have something so small, that it is insignificant by comparison, but my problem makes me want to either run away, or stab something sharp into my ear drums.
I seriously can't handle people who chew with their mouths open and make smacking or slurping noises.
I don't know how to deal with noisy eaters. I don't think there is anything that can be said without hurting someone's feelings, or getting laughed at for pointing it out.

Is it just the joycons that are damaged? Or is it a switch lite? Either way, I’m pretty sure you can send it off to Nintendo to get joycon drift fixed for free
It's sad to see how many people her preface their stresses and worries by saying that it doesn't matter, or is not as bad as what other people are dealing with. Suffering is not a competition, and no one should feel like their pain isn't worth feeling or sharing because of what others are going through. I hope you all find peace in your struggles right now, even if its as small as stubbing your toe. 
The cemetery that my dad is buried at got bought out by new owners. Not only do they neglect to upkeep the area, they also take any decorations that are placed on the stones. (others have bombed it with 1 star reviews complaining about the same thing).
We can't do anything for father's day or his birthday now. Everything we place on his grave is taken away never to be seen again. We purchased these little sign post messages that have 'love dad' messages on them. Only to find them gone on our next visit.
It's such a shame. We can't celebrate this stuff with him, so is it too much to ask that we leave him a small gift on his resting place?

Change is hard, and I don't feel right all the time. They way I naturally talk? People think it's mean. My love for video games? People think it's childish. I don't like to swear, yet everyone—especially in my high school—does it all the time and every time I hear it I become apprehensive and feel like I missed out on something. And when I try to explain myself and my preference for quiet spaces, nobody takes me seriously. They want me to go out there and change myself. But how do I get started? That's what they never tell me.
I enjoy The Bell Tree and its community and I have no intention of quitting, but to be honest sometimes it doesn't feel right for me to go on there and interact with the regulars. After my English unit on Fahrenheit 451 (that happened before I became active here), I came to realize the fact that nothing can beat physical, interpersonal communication. People want me to make friends with the students, but I unfortunately feel alienated by their habits, so that's hard... Sometimes I feel like, at this point, I'm already living in Guy Montag's world, a victim to the parlor walls.

a lot of stuff has happened at my workplace, and i don’t feel comfortable working there anymore or working with a specific person, but i’m scared to talk to the main manager about it because the person i don’t feel comfortable with is the assistant manager, and they’re really close. i’m scared he’s not gonna take me seriously or not do anything about it, or change the way he acts towards me because of what i tell him. i really don’t want to just quit because i did love my job, i liked the people there, but now it just doesn’t feel right to be working there anymore. i work today and im honestly dreading it so much :/ idk what to do. and everytime i bring it up to my friends i feel like they’re so annoyed and tired of my problems i’ve had to just keep this to myself and it’s so draining lol
Could you be neurodivergent? The bit you said about people thinking you’re mean really resonates with me and I recently found out I’m autistic. You don’t seem mean at all to me if that helps

If it's the left joycon there's a replacement near $20 with a d-pad and no motion controls.

You basically described me. People call me childish as well for video games or the books I read. I play and read them anyway. I really don’t like swearing either but get told I’m too sensitive when I ask people not to swear at me. For some reason most people don’t understand ones needs for quiet spaces. I’m sorry people ask you to change you should only change if it’s what you want and will help you to be happy.
@Reginald Fairfield can you please edit your post and edit the context of my post with -snip- or something along those lines? I wanted to delete my post later on after making it but now I can't now that everyone can still see the context.

That's not small! I have the same issue (with other sounds, too) and it can be difficult to deal with - extremely. I use foam earplugs or earbuds with music or a podcast. With foam earplugs, i can still hear what other people are saying, but it "takes the edge off" so I can handle it better.
On a bad day - I blast the music with the earbuds and just tell people - wave if you want to talk to me, because i can't handle sounds today.

I don't think it needs to hidden, but sure.
