What's Bothering You?

[xSuperMario64x]

always sucks when I feel unwell after I eat I guess I'll go lie down for a bit, hopefully this feeling goes away soon.

Also just noticed are Christmas lights are gone ;_;
Funnily enough, my mum says you need to take Christmas stuff down by the 12th otherwise it'd be bad luck.

I like when people keep their lights up all winter. taking down Christmas decorations is one thing, but lights don't inherently mean "holidays" to me. I see it as a nice way to brighten up an otherwise cold and somewhat dreary time of year.

edit: I just realized that I didn't copy the messages on the lights that I got this holiday that's why I don't really like sending lights on here, they're temporary and those messages will disappear. I prefer to leave messages on profiles or elsewhere, where they won't disappear.

Wish I could go like five minutes in a conversation with my parents without starting to cry for no reason like this isn’t even that bad of a day I hate it here

What do you mean?

I believe it's an old superstition. Actully, researching it, it's not entierly old. More modern. Probably the belief that people think bad luck will fall in the new year if you keep up Christmas decorations.

I thought it was old, but from my research, in medival England times it was normal to keep deocrations up until Candlemas which is on Feb 2. Cendlemad is just a lil celebration to end of Christmas, celebrated with candlit processions and the blessings of candles for the coming year.
They also believed that if you kept the decorations up after Candlemas eve, they will be possessed by goblins.

Hope you feel better soon!

And I know what you mean for real Christmas decorations and our tbt christmas lights!
I do feel sad they disappear, but I do like that it's a sweet sentiment, I think the only thing people could do is make a screenshot of the messages to save for later?

These collectibles are just hidden for now. The 2024 Christmas Lights will return next December, with the messages in-tact.

I feel so fed up and unmotivated. For example, I set up my Wii a few weeks ago with the intention to play. However, I go and get a game and then think 'No, I'm not going to bother.' Then, I'll literally just waste my time. I hate feeling like this, I wish I could snap out of it.

The inability of people to talk through issues without mudslinging or bringing up things that are not relevant.

And people being unable to take criticism. You did something wrong, own up to it. Someone else's actions does not stop you from facing consequences of your own actions.

Those are just pet peeves in general that I'm thinking about, luckily not anything I'm dealing with currently. Whats currently bothering me? I do not like myself. I really gotta get back on my medications cause I always stop them when I'm sick and by golly I was sick. I know full well it's the mental illness, but that doesn't mean the feelings aren't there.

That was a terrifying start to the day . My tire had a problem on the way to work thankfully made it back home but now feeling stupid that it scared me as much as it did and now just want to cry. the tire looks so bad. Thankful my mom let me borrow her car to get to work so I’m not late.

No responses please, might be brushing on politics but I don’t want a political discussion.

Spoiler

I think the “under 16s social media ban” here is a complete racket and garbage and one server I’m in actually *likes* it. Internally facepalming. It’s broad enough to cover YouTube and potentially gaming platforms. Imagine being banned from Minecraft as a kid because you aren’t allowed a Microsoft account. If I didn’t have the internet growing up then I would be a complete nonce. I saw many things I should not have and barely avpided creeps (been on places that had multiple outed creeps) but a ban would have just ruined me. I needed help from my parents and not prohibition, this is just an excuse for parents to be irresponsible and say things are solved at a micro level and just a front for the government here to further de-anonymise internet on a macro level.

I want out of this place. For all the issues with the US if it treats me better maybe I’ll just end up green carding there lol. I can see it eventually ending up similar in most places but honestly I think my country is an embarassment and we’re a mini America in some ways. We’re losing the middle class like everyone else, we’re continuing to lose availability, we’re getting more bigotry and we have the same brand of apathy and just discuss other countries with no real point instead of looking at our own issues. Only hangup for me is on safety and medicare (but they’re doing their best to break that anyway, and many places here will get you shanked). It’s not like I’m free to present as trans here. And it’s expensive to move countries but it’s already expensive for me to marry and where is it not expensive to live anymore tbh.

Trying to think about my future when I don’t even feel like I belong in this country. Wow.

I’m sorry because I usually don’t let this kind of post out anywhere but that ban is a topic I’m way too angry about. The issue was never I had bad moments but my parents weren’t there for me when I did, they instead put their issues on me, it’s textbook trauma. Look how I was affected by how I grew up and then all this bogeymanning, how my parents basically got off scott-free for how badly they neglected me and wow oh wow I really don’t want to say more so I’ll shut now…

In general actually… that server has had a weird amount of political posts in the last couple months despite it being against their rules and I’m real sick of it by now. No I don’t want to be looking at funny bandicoot game hangout I liked being part of to get flashbanged by that

I've been so stressed because of the weather. I wish I lived somewhere else...

 

[Halloqueen]

Had one of those nights where you barely get any quality sleep last night so just kinda dragging today.

Bleh.

At least it's Sunday.

 

[VernalLapin]

There is an absolutely horrible commercial on lately. my most despised commercial ever. Everything about it. I’ve only encountered a few seconds of it, but it takes off a decade of my life every time.

 

[Seastar]

This night has been extra horrible and I want it to just end already. I'm getting paranoid about it affecting my health now. I hope I am overreacting but who knows...

I wish my brother would talk with me and my partner more.

I fell asleep at 7:30pm. Slept 11.5hrs. Still feel tired.

 

[Giddy]

Still at work and have no idea who's taking over me. I've messaged everyone. No response.

Feel so nonexistent here, think I mentioned that before.
But if this place had a proper shift rota, where everyone knew, I could bother the one person who should be taking over me. Not literally everyone.
The bosses ex didn't even message me or call today which is odd since he ALWAYS does. And they dint have any toilet paper.

I don’t like that I feel so strongly about something that is considered controversial, and strongly enough that I likely will never change my opinion. I don’t like that I can’t bring it up without upsetting someone, but others can talk about it freely without being silenced when they are in the right group. It isn’t even about the fact you can’t bring it up. It’s the double standard that others can talk freely about the exact topic if their opinion aligns with the majority. Opposing views should not be silenced.

It happens. Whenever I get more sleep than I usually do I feel more worn out. Our bodies get used to a set sleep schedule. I really do need to get a better sleep schedule and stick to it either way lol.

At work, someone threw a crate at me at just the right angle that the corner hit me between the eyes. It still hurts lol.

What's bothering me?

Being told to be ready early tomorrow because we have errands to do or some tasks to do and the next day, that very person who told me to be ready early, is still in PJ scrolling on the Internet and totally forgot about the errands. It's not like it was happening once in a while, it happens e-ve-ry week more than once. They let me stay in "waiting mode" forever and I waste my day. More than one day in fact, because now I have to get ready for tomorrow instead.

It reminds me of a friend who told me to join them at the mall at 1pm the next day. On the phone they clearly told me, more than once, "See you tomorrow at 1pm, food court, at the mall". Next day, nobody. I'm waiting a bit, decide to call that friend. She's still in bed!!! Yawning on the phone!!! Then she tells me "Did we say we were going to the mall today? I thought it was just a possibility, nothing sure yet" Why giving me a hour then? It took me 1h20 to get there in bus!!! I was going there just for her, I had nothing to do in that mall. It happened years ago and I'm still mad.

That stuff bothers me so much. People forget on accident, sure that happens. But people can also remember on purpose. When anyone says that line, I always think about that. You can purposely remember stuff by leaving notes, setting alarms, ect. It's understandable to be upset about that! You can forget by putting literally no effort into remembering. And that usually says a lot if it's someone that's supposed to be your friend. It shows they probably don't value your time or respect you. I'm not talking about your friend personally, just my old ones that I finally let go because I really doubt they even cared about me. Sorry you went through that.
