What's Bothering You?

Knowing him it's honestly 50/50.

Throw a Snickers at him. That butt.
Edit: sorry that sounded flippant @Firesquids
I hope the tension gets resolved and know that I would confront them on your behalf if I was there...

I wish I had more time for art and didn't have to choose between drawing and sleep. XD

My neighbour has two dogs and they use our garden and parking spot (where also our mailbox is) every single day as toilet. Our neighbour is 70+ years old and he never walks them and I recently noticed that he doesn't even open the gate to his garden to let them do their business there. Because why should he, it would ruin his "perfect" grass, am I right? Anyways, this is happening every day since more than 2 years now. The dogs even tried to go into our house at least twice, which is extremelly scary, because I have guinea pigs and a rabbit, which they could easily hurt / kill. My boyfriend went once to the neighbour, telling him about it, like 1 year or so ago and the neighbour didn't care at all.. okay then. So.. yesterday my boyfriend finally managed to get ahold of the neighbour and they talked normal, until he mentioned that he has enough of his dog ****ting all the time on his parking spot and garden. It's literally a maze of poop to avoid when we want to leave our house and man, I don't even want to go through the grass anymore. So.. suddenly the neighbours mood completely switched and he just said "Ok, will clean" and left. Later this day he knocked on our door, bf told me to stay inside, which I did. Soo.. the neighbour made a big scene, saying that my bf threatened his dogs (which he never did, we even always pet them, etc. because we don't have anything against them) and that there is not even any poop, so he's lying. Funnily enough, the neighbour literally stepped in one of the little bombs and when my bf mentioned it, he said he doesn't care and that's nothing. My bf ended up pointing out all the poop he could find quickly and the neighbours shovel was FULL. And trust me, he didn't even show the garden part. Anyways, neighbour tries to GRAB my boyfriend to physically hurt him, like wtf? Luckily it's a old man and honestly, he's lucky that my bf stayed calm the whole time or he could've easily ended up with a broken arm or so. Well.. now to the even better part. The neighbour decided to threaten our cats. If he ever sees one of them outside, he will grab it and kill it, like WTF?? Mind you, that all started by friendly telling him to please take care that his dogs stop using our house as a toilet. We kept quiet for YEARS and he freaks out, trying to punch my bf and threatening to kill our cats if he sees them. Well, if I ever see him outside of our house again, to grab any fruits of our trees, I will happily call the police on him. I'm afraid of him now knocking on our door, bf told me to just not open. I want to tell him my opinion so badly for threatening to kill our cats.. his wife saw it all and we are hoping that she is going to talk some sense into him, since she's quite a bit younger than him. If I ever see his dogs in our garden / parking spot again, then I will take pictures are proof and we will find a way to make them stop. At least we were and still are respectful and never tried to hurt anyone or threatened anything. It still makes me so mad that he tried to hurt my bf and the cats.. just because we have enough of his dogs ****.
GO WALK THEM LIKE NORMAL PEOPLE DO.

I'm not sure why I even bother answering people's questions in Facebook group's anymore. Someone was confused by something and asked a question to clarify so I answered and they took offence to my answer because they didn't like my reply. So I just deleted my reply and let someone else answer them because I'm tired of some people taking offence to every little thing that doesn't conform to their way of thinking.

I’m not a medical student, but I can totally emphasize with that. It really is a tough situation to be in No one warns you about what it really means to dedicate years of your life in a high stress course with so much memorization. About the comparing with others, money making, and insecurity, I definitely did that a lot as well.
Talking with a therapist definitely helped so I recommend that! It me build some confidence about myself, and becoming ok with the fact that even though I think others are miles ahead of me, it might not actually be true and not to beat myself over it. And being ok with the fact that I can go at my own pace without stressing about making money or having the perfect career that I think others are having if that helps with my mental health, there’s no set path that we need to follow.
Stay strong ❤ I’d give you a hug if I could

thank you so much for the response! it actually helped me a lot and made me a little less insecure about where i am in life right now. a professor reached out to me a while ago and recommended that i contact the office of student affairs so i can get proper help. i'm going to call tomorrow and hopefully get referred to the right professionals. ❤

My old preschool has now had at least four confirmed covid cases. It could be even more since children don’t have to get a covid test if sent home sick they just can’t return until the symptoms have gone.

We have a handful of preschools in my town and none of the others have had a case. When I quit my employer had the nerve to tell me I was being ridiculous and the chances of catching it or bringing it home would be slim to none. That they’d be enforcing strong cleaning routines, prioritizing staff health, and being firm with not allowing sick kids in.

I guess somewhere in there the money became more important though, huh? I’m not surprised they’re cutting corners but it’s still disappointing. And ironic since the two owners loved to go on about how they ran the best centre in my town. Hopefully the children and staff are okay. Why they’re allowing child care centres to remain open after acknowledging it’s too dangerous to keep school open is beyond me.

I have nothing against transgender people, I love it that people are who they want to be, but what I hate is
when someone clearly is not transgender and yet acts like he's one just to get attention.. why do people have
to do such things for attention?

Thank you and yes, I hate all those attention seeking trenders... It's like you know there are actual people struggling with their sex/gender and here comes those people mocking the whole thing -_-

It's not always so black and white. Sometimes people can be out in some situations but not others, so they may appear contradictory or fake to people who do not fully understand their situation. Family and religion are factors that often play a role here.

 

[Alienfish]

I guess it depends, though I've seen it's easier to tell attention-seekers from others, at least online. Also if they who are genuine have family/relatives issues they're pretty open about that to be fair in my experience which also makes it easier to give them support. But yeah everyone has different experiences?

Also in my case it's like certain "tumblrinas" who just do it to mock, not because they necessarily have it hard or stuff and even so it's a bad way to get attention and understanding from others.

Oh yeah, I do fully understand that! Sadly in this case he's very obvious about it not being real, which I find sad, because I would've loved to support him about it. I don't want to out the whole conversation, but how and what he said is just very obvious, that it's not real.

Yeah, I agree with you here. Some might be in a grayzone but honestly all attention seekers when it's serious matters bugs me anyways.

Starting to feel it's going to be December next...​

I just feel very bad about myself and why I just let the negativity take over my mind. I was being an idiot on my part to tell people what to think about islands in general. I guess because of all the negativity I've been getting recently when people told me how my Island felt too "empty" and how you said I was "not trying hard enough" it came off as negative and I let my anger get the best of me.

Truth be told I've struggled with trying to express how I feel because people always told me to keep being positive but then it just becomes hard for me because I've been hurt too many people who I thought were nice but they turned out to be mean.

I feel very ashamed of my stupid behavior. I don't know what caused me to react that. I stopped using a certain thread since it didn't go well for me and I just can't handle it at the moment. I'm autistic so it's really hard for me. Truth be told I HATE being this way, but its what I have to live with. People always think I'm just a normal human being when I'm not.

My work is holding a protest right now outside the courthouse cause my coworker was killed on the job back in 2018. Our leaders knew the load was uneven and unsafe, and they told him to go pick it up anyways in a small lift truck. Well the load rolled and crushed him. Obviously the leaders should be held responsible but they are just getting a fine and sweeping my coworker under the rug. I feel bad I'm not there to help support. So many people get critically injured at my work, it leaves me feel uneasy everytime I go to work.

For once I’m talking about something that isn’t related to my unstable mental state.

My foot hurts. I’ve had a big blister on my foot for a month and nothing seems to help. Just walking is excruciating. I can’t blame my shoes either since I bought new ones last week.

i feel fat in everything i wear :/

Hey, I'm sorry you feel this way. I started having body image issues shortly before I entered high school and have only just started to accept my body for what it is many years later. The language you use reminds me of thoughts I used to have--notice that you said "feel" instead of "am."

Honestly, the best advice I can give you is to take baby steps today to get where you think you want to go. Do your best not to fixate on one specific end goal, (e.g. "I want my body to look like X's")--I know from personal experience how tempting it may be--but don't beat yourself up for having that thought either. I was just telling my S/O the other day how at peace I am with the state of my body as it is. Sure, it's not "perfect" by any means, but it is what it is and literally cannot be anything other than it is at any given moment.

The stuff I said above was my take on this psychiatrist's take on why we feel drawn towards improving certain aspects of our life (from what you've said, for you, this is your weight). If you have ~12 minutes, I recommend watching this video of his.

My inbox is open if you want to chat more about this topic, and I hope this helps you.

At least where I studied post-secondary, there are provincial and federal student loans that charge interest at different rates. I find it very scummy that as a default, a loan payment is split evenly between the two loans, rather than letting the person decide how much of the payment they want to go towards each loan, since one loan charges higher interest than the other. :/
