What's Bothering You?

I'm not in college, but I understand feeling like you're not ready to become an independent adult yet. 🫂 I'm 16 years old and my parents keep throwing a billion responsibilities at me because of my age. I feel ashamed of myself sometimes because there are still things I can't do on my own without their help (they expect me to know what I'm doing by now) and I still don't have a driver's license.

If it helps, I'm trying to get myself to take life one step at a time. As in, taking your time with things, because you'll only get more stressed of you rush yourself. But it's not easy when you're my age and/or you still live with your parents.

I also want to add there's lots of things in your post that reminded me of my relationship with perfectionism and my sister's experience with online school. I feel you on that first part. T^T
 
Tired from not much sleep because of bad dreams. Also we are starting to get crazy busy at work because of people being worried about the possible hurricane that could hit on Thursday. Just announced a state of emergency because of the storm.
 
I have a pretty good memory, but as of late, I've been more forgetful than usual. Menial tasks such as entering a room and forgetting why I came in come to mind. It doesn't affect me a great deal but it does bother me and I think it's tied to long covid.
 
this is sad. and not the first time.

Although, I'm thinking maybe topics for gaming aren't in my element.

To be honest I wanted to make a post in that thread, but I gave it some thought and realized that I don't really play games that are too complicated, or rather if something is way too challenging I usually drop it. It definitely depends on the level of difficulty for said games, but yeah. I completely agree with you about XC2 though, the battle system for that is crazy and I'm still not used to it despite being halfway through the game (speaking of which I really need to finish it at some point).

I don't think your thread ideas are bad to be honest. I just think some threads gain more traction than others based on people's interests. Or maybe people wanted to reply, but wanted to think about it more and give a more thoughtful response rather than a throwaway post before hitting reply.

Anyway, I'm sorry you're feeling this way and I can definitely relate. I've had a good number of threads made in the past that have just fizzled out. It's nothing against you though. I just feel like a lot of it is trial and error.

(I hope I'm not breaking any rules by saying this, just wanted to offer my input 🙏 )
 
I keep doomscrolling articles about the future of technology and it’s affecting my mental health. I feel like everything is going to change heavily in the next several years and the signs of it are already showing. Things like AI assistants sound really useful as someone with organization issues, but some of the other potential changes sound really creepy.
 
Can November come any sooner? Each and every day I get swamped by political crap getting shoved into my face, whether that be on TV or on people’s front lawns. It is angering me so much that I have to deal with all this considering that I live in a swing state.

Supporters on both ends of the spectrum are guilty of over promoting; it’s not just one side. Every time I see someone’s front lawn fully decked in Trump or Harris signs, it makes me want to wretch. I’m sorry, but that’s how much it angers me.

Oh, it's okay!

My post was more of an observation rather than feeling it was anything against me. I think I've struggled to get threads to take off in that section more than anywhere else. I figured maybe my creativity is stifled since I don't use gaming as a main hobby.

Thank you for taking the time to visit the thread and leaving a reply. I did notice that.

Well wishes to you!

I agree. And it’s not just on TVs or lawns. I’ve been getting political texts from advertisers, telling me to vote someone when I wouldn’t even want to vote for their candidate. It was way worse in 2018 when they aggressively told me to vote Beto.
 
I wanna complete the Happy Home Paradise DLC in ACNH so I'll be able to decorate my villagers' houses, but the process of decorating in Happy Home Paradise is absolute torture. I get easily overwhelmed whenever I have to decorate any villager's dream home, and it makes me wanna rage quit. And it doesn't help that all the HHP builds I see on social media look so much better than anything I could ever make. Maybe I just not cut out to be an interior designer...
