What's Bothering You?

So, it was my first time selling on Nookazon yesterday. And other than having to get used to the faster pace of dealing with offers and occasionally worrying about potential scams/scammers (which hasn't happened yet, thankfully), it was all good. Just a few things kind of irked me, though...
Case 1: Apparently, I was "unresponsive/too slow" in accepting someone's offer of 100k Bells, so they cancelled on me in just a few minutes of me having put the listing up, and theirs was the only offer. (Though, I would've happily accepted their 100k. It's just that I was dealing with other trades in the meantime since I was getting quite a few offers; I listed several DIY recipes one after the other for the first time, so my listings were all showing up at the top of the search results, and thus bound to get more attention/offers.) I even had my status set to Busy, along with my bio/description (which is always shown right above every listing) explaining what my Online/Busy/Offline statuses specifically mean for me. Word for word, Busy means I'm updating listings, completing a trade, or AFK. But I guess that didn't mean anything to them, if they even saw or read it in the first place... Perhaps, I could have messaged them letting them know I'd be with them shortly, but didn't get around to doing it because, again: it was my first time on Nookazon, plus I had multiple offers to respond to. Naturally, after that experience and getting used to the pace, I started messaging offerers when they would have to wait a bit, even if they didn't cancel on me in the first few minutes (because most people usually don't cancel so quickly...). Some people are just too impatient and have a bad attitude, it seems. At least, that's the impression this offerer left on me, unfortunately.

Case 2: Someone offered me 2 NMTs for a DIY recipe and, out of a bit of curiosity and cheekiness, I counter-offered them for 3 NMTs. Later, I check and see that they declined. Understandable. Wasn't guaranteed, and wasn't expecting it to go through for sure. Then, I cancel my counteroffer and message them asking if they're still interested and that I'd be happy to accept their offer of 2 NMTs (since they still had it up at the time). They don't respond, though their status says Online. I get the feeling they may be annoyed with me at this point, and so they've probably moved on to another person. About an hour or so later, I get a notification saying they cancelled the offer because they no longer need the item. Okay... So, three possibilities there: they changed their mind, they got the same DIY recipe from someone else because they got a better deal, or they just didn't want to trade with me specifically because of my counteroffer earlier. Regardless, I didn't really see the sense in it... First off, asking them for just one more NMT isn't crazy, in my opinion. Like, I didn't think it would be a make-it-or-break-it thing. And secondly, even after clicking Accept on their first offer, I still directly messaged them to confirm that I was willing to do the trade. Yeah, it took a few extra steps and a little more time than it maybe should have, but they still would have gotten what they initially wanted, and I would've had one more DIY recipe off of my cluttered beach, plus 2 NMTs in my pocket. But no, they just had to be petty over 1 NMT difference. *sigh*... I don't know. Maybe I'm the one that's being petty. Or just plain sensitive... I guess, when I just don't understand people's actions, I take it personally, and/or I make it mean something negative about them.
Edit: And now I'm salty that I didn't even get any TBT after writing all this?? 🙃 Is that feature disabled for this thread or something, or it just doesn't count for text closed off in a spoiler? Anyway... Ironically, I'm not even getting any offers on Nookazon anymore right now. :rolleyes:

nookazon is crazy. i use it a ton because i knew about it way longer than bell tree, so i have over 500 trades done so far. thankfully no scammers, but the people on there want ridiculous prices for most things. also i hate when accepting a trade, they send me the dodo, and a second after they cancel the trade. has happened to me quite often and it always makes me salty because like...you sent me the dodo! you went that far! and then a millisecond later your out. it feels like they wanted to waste my time

also in the nookazon app, the noise it makes is 1) annoying, and 2) stops my music while trading because apparently my phone sees it as music????
 
other people: "you should try to get along w your dad!"

my dad: randomly walks into my room to complain that there's a tiny bit of hair dye on the wall (which wilk come off easily with some soap) and I told him it's fine and he's like WE'LL WHEN YOU'RE NOT THE ONE MAKING THE HOUSE PAYMENT YEAH



like seriously chill the **** out my dude, it's a tiny bit of hair dye. so what? why the **** does he have to make a big deal out if something so small? this kinda bs is why I don't like him.

my dad is the same way. people always are like "but theyre your dad!! you have to try and forgive them!" no. you dont have to. my dad screamed at me, abused me, and yet people have the nerve to say "well he still loves you!" quit that. that isnt helpful in the slightest
Post automatically merged:

that kind of talk makes abused people think they need to forgive their abusers and what they went through wasnt bad enough. its harmful and it has always bothered me
 
it's hard living up to seemingly perfect siblings. they have everything i don't have- a bunch of friends they've known for years, amazing grades and skills, etc.
they've been so great at everything we've all done for years- meanwhile i still can't play those games we loved.
i can't even focus in my classes because i'm stressed about living up to the bar they set for me.
why has my life been trash compared to theirs? at this point the only thing keeping me alive are my stuffed animals that i still talk to.
 
i asked my sister if i could have a few of her amiibos and she said no (which was fine)
so i made them with those nfc cards and not even a day later, she gave me the ones i asked for 😑
i can't sell them either because everyone is buying the fake cards atm 😕
(to be fair i prefer to buy the fake cards too)

also i've officially deleted nookazon just because everyone on there was super annoying
i was using the last of my nook tickets to get a few villager photos and someone offered me what i wanted then messeged me saying they didn't have them but offered me lolly and bob's photos instead
i politely turned their offer down however they just kept offering me random stuff (pretty much everything other than what i asked for)
then started begging for me to give them my nook tickets 😑

and other people make offers for things i sell then cancel not even a second later because "the seller was unresponsive"
like give me a chance to actually open the app 😐

but yeah this website is wayyy better, so i deleted nookazon and i'm gonna trade on here from now on🌟

hit with the sudden realization that majoring in something i was passionate about killed my passion and it's been almost a year since i graduated college and i haven't done said passion once in the past year.

I can relate to this. I've a BA in Filmmaking and Screenwriting and by the end of it my desire to create was dead and buried. I later ended up doing a second Bachelor's degree in a non-creative field (Biomedical Science) and in the later years of that my desire to write finally returned. Hopefully in time your passion will return too. :)
 
Heat. We're dealing with temperatures around 98C/100F daily, and I can't stand the heat. I hate summer
 
I wish the submission for the writing contest was private cause I suck at writing. I don't think I have written anything since high school 10 years ago so the short story I wrote is bad lmao. I have the writing comprehension of an elementary school kid. This is a small complaint I know lol, but it's embarrassing knowing anyone can read it.
 
tw suicidal thoughts

writing all of my thoughts down about this might help
a friend and i started reconciling in september. its a long story not worth indulging in here but 2-3 years ago he was a very close friend of mine who ended up really hurting me. i was able to convey all of my thoughts and feelings on that in a letter of sorts and i sent that to him with the help of my other friend (now ex-friend due to some horrible things coming out about him) and from that we began to talk again. it was extremely difficult at times and bumpy along the way but i started to heal, eventually coming to forgiveness which is what i wanted to be able to achieve. he became of my closest friends again, something i do not regret. then the ex-friend whose actions were brought to light, instead of taking accountability, dedicated his "apology" to digging up dirt and calling out my friend, making our situation public to everyone. this was done completely out of spite and it backfired immensely, no one seemed to worry over our situation specifically though but it still deeply hurt the both of us. im so drained and exhausted from it all and i hope this era of my life is almost over. my friend has been unwell, his anxiety escalated rapidly within the past week to the point where hes having multiple panic attacks and breaking down. even though his own actions from the past are making him feel like this i still feel really bad for him. its not like he was evil or intentionally malicious. because of this hes decided to take a break from all forms of social media for a month or two, maybe less, maybe more, to focus on the real world and getting therapy. yesterday we had our final conversation addressing everything and saying goodbye and today he said a few more things and goodbye again before deleting the app. its going to feel so weird without him as we talked almost every day for the past 3-4 months, i have to keep reminding myself that hes gone and will be for a while. im going to miss him. im more concerned with the fact that he is afraid of having suicidal thoughts and if he will keep deteriorating. i wouldnt be angry at him if he acted on it but i would be completely crushed and devastated. ive been feeling suicidal myself but ive been able to keep those thoughts "dormant" for the time being, for the most part at least. this is going to be a test of my patience and hope

im just glad im not alone anymore. i have friends that i trust and love even if i dont talk to them every day. 2 years ago i didnt have that. i feel kinda dumb that bell tree was the thing that made me feel a lot better when i cried about it in this thread back then but it did show me how compassionate people on here can really be

i’m really glad that you two were able to repair your friendship; i know how difficult it can be to tell someone how they’ve made you feel and forgiveness isn’t always easy but i’m proud of you both for doing that. i’m sorry about what your ex friend did; they didn’t have the right to do that at all. i’m sending many healing thoughts to you and your friend and hope that he can get the help that he needs. i’m really glad that you have other friends with you, as well; times are difficult right now but i genuinely believe that you guys will be okay. i know we don’t know each other but feel free to shoot me a message if you ever need someone to talk to. 🧡

useless splatfest aside from the participation stuff :(

also really getting pissy at NH for the crap RNG and that trying to get spiny lobster/sea pig is like that bike mario party 1 game. no thanks i can be without completion... i kinda wanna reset a SH map but cba ****ing tut again.
 
The disability benefits process is killing me. I feel so ill and anxious all the time and I don’t know how much longer I can cope with this. I need money for living. I can’t work. I can’t cook for myself and I can’t leave the house. But instead of using my little energy to try to manage my illness better i’m throwing it all at this stupid process where I get turned down again and again and it’s actually killing me. ended up having a panic attack because someone who was supposed to be giving me advice for the appeal hearing in a week instead told me I’m not disabled and I just. If the people who are supposed to be on my side won’t help then what am I supposed to do. Feel like this country just wants me to become homeless or die and not be a burden anymore.
 
I had a really stressful dream where I was finally at school for second semester but I couldn't navigate any of my classes and my feet broke because I had to run the mile again... then I woke up so relieved but now I'm dreading school to start on wednesday D:
 
these past three weeks have been really exhausting. i've had to stay up till 4am every night watching my sister sleep, and i have to study for my uni exams during the day. but i also feel like i haven't been productive at all in this time, it feels like i'm stuck, and i can't help but worry. i wish the doctors could finally diagnose what's wrong with her, her attack was on the 24th, it feels like it should've been figured out sooner :(
