What's Bothering You?

[chocovelvetcake]

Lately, I've been going through some kind of existential crisis. I feel like such a failure for not knowing exactly what I want to do with my life right away, and seeing adults who are around my age being more successful doesn't help.

I'm an adult, but I don't feel like an adult, per se. To be honest, I don't think I ever will feel like a "real" adult. Sometimes, I actually super mature and grown up around other adults so people don't see me as dumb or immature.

So the boyfriend I broke up with a few months ago. We were together a year and a half. Yesterday he decides to drop the news on me that he cheated on me once while we were dating (we’ve still been talking but just as friends)

You deserved better than him, I'm so sorry you have to deal with that. Cheaters deserve zero sympathy or forgiveness whatsoever.

Thank you At first I felt like I automatically should have forgiven him but then I feel like a pushover. I’m getting angrier since the other day because I knew something was up awhile back. But he chose not to tell me till 3 months after I broke up with him? Like he keeps rationalizing his reasons for cheating and I feel like I’m starting to see he’s a chronic liar and cheater, he won’t change. So I’m distancing myself from him now.

If someone needs to constantly rationalize their awful actions, their actions weren't rational.

Good for you for distancing yourself, and I hope you have better luck with dating in the future (if you still want to date people in the future of course, but that's obviously up to you).

I got 'that message' on Discord about somebody we knew who just passed away.

I didn't even finish the movie I was watching at the moment.

I just felt...sad. And have felt sad for the last few hours.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

I really hate apple support. I feel like the way they talk to me each time i messaged them, they talk to me like I’m stupid or they don’t know what they’re talking about. I really hate contacting any kind of support.

I’m so annoyed and anxious now.

I've been feeling really unmotivated about school work and have been procrastinating a lot causing me to get behind, and of course I now have mid terms in like 3 weeks which isn't helping me at all.

I also have just been feeling a little ****ty in general now that I'm back in school after Thanksgiving.

I'm having one of those bad days where I feel sad, anxious and sometimes angry for no particular reason. Mostly sad. Ugh.

When it comes to applying to jobs, the one thing I can't stand is when they ask me to write a synopsis and review of a novel you've read that was published in the last year.
Book jobs really

I get they're seeing what you're reading but it's been a while since I've stuck my head into a good novel plus my books aren't never really new. I've never really taking any notice what year they're were published so a lil stuck at what book I could say I've read.
I know it's bad to say you have read it when you really haven't but due to the deadline of the application I'm not sure what to really do.
I love reading don't get me wrong but I haven't been feeling comfortable enough to read in a while.

Pick a very new book that interests you, read for a half hour x1-2 per day, then keep using that book as your example for the next year.

Or audio book it. I am listening to a dreadful audio book at the moment (Gender Madness by Oli London) while at work. Getting annoyed at him makes dull tasks (eg cleaning) go faster.

Tomorrow is gym before work, physio during work hours, and 1hr+ hospital appointment after work. It is going to be a hell day. 5am get-up, I probably won't be home until 8:30pm-9pm.

Luckily my workload is light tomorrow. There are no reagents that need to be made up on the day of use (unlike today) so I was able to do all the prep in advance.

Anxiety is making me take almost 20 hours just to use an electric blanket for the first time. I haven't even plugged it in yet, but I finally have it on the bed. I have no idea what I am even doing and asking for help makes me sound crazy to others which discourages me from asking... I already got help just putting it on the bed. I am not asking again.
I wish I didn't have to deal with this.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I was gonna use this book 'The cat who saved books' by Sosuke Natsukawa, originally published in 2017, but traslated to English in 2021, as it is probably the most recent book I've read properly.
Have found a website for 2023 books and might go to the library tomorrow to have a look~
Been a while since I got a book from the library

I don't know your taste in books at all, but the best book I read published in 2023 was Yellowface by R. F. Kuang. It's satire and explores cultural appropriation, centred around a Caucasian author who steals her Chinese-American friend's manuscript.

Funnily enough, the list of books I found online mentioned that book!
I have found a few I liked from the list, so should find something good at the library tomorrow
