What's Bothering You?

[Mimi Cheems]

Well.. before my brother left for the Navy 2 months ago, I weighed a steady 200 lbs. That's about 90 kg for the metric folk. Within those 2 months, without even trying. I lost 25 lbs. I'm 79 kg now. The only reason I cared is that people kept pointing it out at work, that it looked like I kept losing more and more weight every time they saw me. So I weighed myself once I got home. I hear it at least three times a week when I'm working. I wasn't even trying, so it's mildly concerning that I lost that much in such a short amount of time. My mom has an overactive thyroid, so I told her about it and now it's starting to scare me a bit..

my grandma is pissed that i “care about my mom more.” well there’s a reason for that because you’re mean to me and she’s not. she complains about basically everything, and there’s a significant difference between the way she treats my brother and the way she treats me. today is my mom’s birthday and i had to hide one of the gifts i wanted to give to her (it was a painting i made) so she wouldn’t get jealous. she acts like a toddler when she’s mad about something, why did my mom decide to move back with her again 20 years ago after she and my dad lived in minnesota together alone? you should have left when you could.

I accidentally phrased things the wrong way on that LGBTQ+ Discord server again and two more people were nasty to me. I even tried to explain myself, but they wouldn’t have it. Every time I post on there now they cut me off.

In the three years I’ve been on the server the mods have only stepped up twice. Once was when we were all sharing our results on a political compass test and when mine said “democratic socialist,” another user cussed me out (they didn’t think it was left leaning enough even though I am left leaning). The mods deleted the post, but didn’t publicly say anything about it.

The other time was when I was trying to contribute to a conversation and one user actually said “most people on this server don’t like you and it would honestly be better if you left.” A mod deleted the post and that person has barely posted on there since (I think I shared this one).

About 85% of the time I post on there I get ignored. It’s been like this for two years. I know it’s a toxic place and I should leave, but I’m afraid they’ll gossip to each other about me publicly like they did for other people. They say the main server on the server group is toxic, but honestly I think they’re just as bad.

This is kinda of why I stay away from these kind of communities online, especially if it's close-knit stuff like Discord. Most often they have their own set agenda on what's right or not and if you speak against, they do exactly like that.

Honestly, I'd try to find a better, safer space for that where people are more open, if possibly. That place sounds very toxic and I hope you can find another place and sort it out.

Why is it so hard to find simple button down shirts that don’t cost over 30 dollars. I don’t need anything fancy they just have to have buttons.

Said this last year, but to be honest, New Year is one of my least favorite holidays and I'm not really excited for 2023

 

[xSuperMario64x]

i got off work almost 40 min ago and I can't leave bc I wanted to get my check before I go. I was under the impression that my boss would come downstairs relatively soon so I could get it, yet here I sit wasting time

edit: yeah they wasted an hour of my precious time. I could've been home cleaning. instead my boss lead me to believe she would be down in a few min and ended up making me wait a ****ing hour before she finally said "can you just pick it up tomorrow" like jfc. I really people would stop ****ing testing my patience cause I'm really starting to lose it. and they're gonna pay for me that hour that they made me waste just sitting there doing absolutely nothing.

I'm so angry rn I feel lightheaded and sick to my stomach. feel like I'm gonna conbust. I'm just so tired of everything. so ****ing tired of it. I need to calm down or I'm gonna make myself have a damn stroke.

I hate when that happens. If I even open my eye for one second, I can’t get to sleep for the next 2-3 hours.

spending new year's alone, again, because my girlfriend just sucks, ig, and now even with a refund, i'm out £10 for buying her train ticket )

 

[spawnpoint]

been having issues with feeling detached from reality lately, worse than they've ever been. what is going on?

 

[ZeldaCrossing64]

My online friend told me that they have photos of me, and at first I thought they were joking... And then they sent me a screenshot they have of my face when we called on Discord about a year ago. Now I'm super freaked out that someone I don't even know in person has my face in their camera roll. I told them that I found it unsettling, and they said they're gonna delete it - I hope they keep their word.

Also I got mad at my brother about something, and he started yelling at me and throwing insults + profanities at me.

Wow. Sounds like something someone would do for blackmail or something. Either way, it’s immature and you shouldn’t take pictures of someone without their consent. It’s a little off-putting to me they had that picture for about a year. I definitely don’t think they had good intentions with the picture.

We just lost the house. We have to pack up everything and move a thousand miles away before the house gets auctioned on Tuesday. What a crappy way to end 2022.

Mann….this was the first chance Michigan had at being in the National Championship since I was 10 when they won in 1997. And they got a touchdown reversed and lost. Some garbage man.

It's really none of my business, but every time I see you post about them it's never anything good. You really deserve better.

I don't get why it's so hard for people in charge to comprehend that people work to get paid. Come on, y'all in charge aren't that stupid. No one is working for free. Sorry you had to deal with that. If you were slacking off on company time, they'd throw a hissy fit. But, hey it's ok to hold your money hostage.

That sounds kind of weird. I don't know many people that would openly admit that without it being creepy. Or even saving it for whatever reason. Especially for that long. How well do you know them? That's really just gross.

i just don't know what's wrong with me. i've become this freaky socially inept loser with no redeeming qualities or particularly fun hobbies. i wouldn't consider myself a fairy envious person but, it kills me when i see my friends genuinely enjoying life, making friends, being great at what they do, etc. because i just can't seem to do that. i truly hate everything about myself.

I let her know that I was irritated about the whole scenario. like I get she was busy but she could've told me wayyyyy sooner, instead of making me wait an hour just to tell me to wait tomorrow.
I also told my mom (and my friend) that when I go into work tomorrow I'm gonna change my signout time to be an hour later, bc it was ridiculous that I had to wait and since she wasted my time I'd like to be compensated for it.

and haha she actually has thrown a fit abt people "using their phones too much on company time" but she couldn't even come out to tell us herself, she had to have a middleman do it. seems pretty passive aggressive to me but whatever. I haven't stopped using my phone any less bc I wasn't using it that much to begin with.

I tell yall I do like this job, I think it's very rewarding to work with cats at a rescue, but god my supervisors and coworkers just get on my nerves. especially since a lot of them are country folk who wear confederate flags with pride and are hyper-conservative. if I ever find another job that pays better and actually respects me for who I am, you can bet I'll take it.
