What's Bothering You?

I wish mental health days were a thing here. Running late for work, but luckily I've an adjustment that permits late arrival by 15 minutes. The anxiety and stress are destroying me and the physical symptoms are excruciating. I need to talk to my manager about taking tomorrow or Thursday off I think. The worst he can say is no.

Oh god I did not predict how bad today would be. I do not want to be here. This verbal abuse has got to stop.

I wish I didn't have things to do after work today. I just want to curl into a ball and do nothing.
 
I've heard that some juvenile owls will sleep face down on the ground, maybe because they struggle to sleep while perched. but yes, hopefully it's okay 💜
I hope it’s OK, that I see it the next time I walk by the area. Only reason I was concerned was bc it randomly disappeared after sleeping for a while.
 
It hurts my heart to see the community fighting with the staff ;-;
Yeah I’m wondering how much I even want to read that or keep trying to remain ignorant to issues / drama on this site (it honestly isn’t working anymore and I’m pretty sad to admit it but I’ve felt increasingly uncomfortable here for various reasons)

same here, part of me wants to stay informed, and a larger part of me understands that a small issue has been exploded into senseless drama and it's really not worth my time or energy. but if it doesn't somehow get resolved soon then I fear that many longstanding members will be driven away from this forum, because of the toxicity.

I don't understand how it continues to be perpetuated, and someone isn't stepping in and saying "hey, um, maybe we should act like sensible mature adults here."
 
I feel old.
On another forum, we're discussing childhood shows, and people keep saying ones from when I was 4 (ex. Ni Hao Kai-Lan, Backyardigans). I hate being reminded of the passage of time.

Yea I keep going back and forth with what I want to know and what I don’t. I do feel increasingly uneasy about posting and reacting to posts. Also uneasy about participating in events. Hopefully everyone can come to an agreement soon.
 
This site is one that I like, as much as I don’t want to admit it. I have thoughts in the back of my mind telling me to leave. That people don’t like me here, and that my presence here doesn’t matter. That’s nobody’s fault but my own, but I wish I could interact on this site like a normal human being.

I wish I didn’t know that others on this site have me ignored. There are some things about this site that bother me I can’t fully express because some users will always have a certain opinion of me. I know I said things in the past considered controversial, and in no way am I trying to justify it, but I want to say that I wasn’t in the best place back then. I had pretty bad experiences outside of the forum, and I was letting people in my life influence my thoughts.

My grandma and my dad were telling me things like, “if person was white, that wouldn’t have happened,” and “this is what happens when you put people in positions of power that don’t deserve it.” I’m someone easily influenced by other people, or at least I was.

I knew that I wasn’t as ****ty as a person as I thought I was. I used to question why my grandma was the way she was when I was younger. She would shout (well, speak, but she has a loud natural voice) the most racist and bigoted things in public settings, like at grocery stores. I was always embarrassed to go out with her because of this. I didn’t want to be associated with her. I didn’t want to be like her.

But in reality, all I managed to become was one of the people I hated most. I like to think I’ve gotten better at not letting my emotions control me, but that doesn’t change what happened in the past. I hate that my words have made so many people uncomfortable on this site, and that I’m part of what’s tainted their views on this site.

I truly did not think about the things I was saying before posting and I’m sorry if my presence or words have made anyone uncomfortable. I’ve been in a few instances at my current job, where I’ve come across not-so-pleasant customers and I was able to bite my tongue… and not let my emotions control me. A little while ago, my mom told me that if she hadn’t believed I’d changed, she wouldn’t have gotten me this job with her. It gave me just a glimmer of hope that I wasn’t the ****ty person I thought I was.
 
of course my last customer of my shift had three bags full of returns ( `−ㅿ−´)

when you're done at cash, you're expected to clear up your area which means censoring all your returns before putting them away, put away all your hangers, toss out any trash, and dump your censor bins if they're overflowing. so that's what i was doing !!!

naturally the line was growing so we called for backup since i was done and it was just one cash coordinator available as the other one had just gone on her break. i was clearly doing my returns as the lady that was next in line was glaring at me and when my coordinator called her over, she was loudly complaining how i was "too busy cleaning and not serving people" so she explained how i was done for the day but then the lady said "well then she should go away" ( ` ᴖ ´ )
(๑•̀ᗝ•́)૭ hello???? what do you think i'm trying to do !!!!!
so my coordinator was like "excuse me, you can't be rude to my associates. she's cleaning up and putting the returns away because that's what she'd told to do. i can cancel your transaction if you don't like it."

(ง•̀o•́)ง did she wake up on the wrong side of the bed or something??? jesus
