What's Bothering You?

It feels so weird when people (mainly my old roommates and my mom) are concerned about me falling asleep while doing something. Like idk I can‘t go to sleep on my own, I have to be doing something and I need to be sleepy, otherwise I find it harder to just shut my eyes and wish myself to sleep. My roommates especially used to make fun of me because I always slept with my laptop on my chest, and I’m like... I don’t find that funny or weird at all? Idk maybe it’s just me.
 
Something is bothering me. Actually a couple of things.

I really hope my mom and I can find that piecr to my figure. I am still trying so hard not to be mad but she could have waited for me to move them to take them out of the boxes.

I'm no doctor, but if the pain is not going away and spreading to other parts of your body, you should definitely get it checked. I don't want to imagine things getting worse for you. I hope you'll get better soon.

Thank you for this. The pain wasn’t as bad today, so hopefully that means it’s slowly going away. I may still go to the doctor’s to get it checked out though. It’s most likely just a combination of stress and lack of sleep.
 
Aftermarket prices for figures is getting out of hand in the US.... there's a Bulma 'prize' figure I would love to buy locally, but the price for it is outrageous. Out of curiosity I started looking for it on a Japanese website and it turns I can buy that figure, pay 'outrageous' shipping ($20-$30 with DHL) and it would still be more affordable to buy like that than to buy it locally. Oh, and that figure is listed as MIB (mint in box).... crazy how I could get a brand new figure from Japan, pay quite a bit in shipping for it and it'll still be cheaper than getting it locally x.x I could even pay $50 in shipping fees for it and it would STILL be more affordable
 
was just informed by my mother that she found a cockroach in the kitchen earlier. i’m literally going to cry. can’t wait to spend the rest of my night feeling things crawl on me and seeing things that aren’t there! 😍
 
Apparently it's supposed to rain all week, the week where we are in holidays. I don't want to hear about it, as they often announce rain and then there is literally nothing for days. But my fiancé is checking every 2 hours, like it would change anything anyways.. 😭
 
Drove an hour and back to Ikea for a large picture frame only to now find out there's a spider smushed in between the glass panel that I can't get out 🤮

Yeah, you can usually get away quite cheap with Japanese sites, the tiniest box scratch and they lower it like hell lol...Which is pretty neat unless it's some very rare LE thing.
 
I’m really pissed at my friend at this point, I posted ”Happy birthday to my favorite character!” in relation to Venti’s birthday and my friend commented, “get a real hobby” and “happy birthday to a bunch of pixels i guess”. I literally do not know why she has to make fun of the mundane things I like? I don’t know what she gets out of shaming me but I really wish she would stop. I’m not making fictional stuff my entire life but it does briefly take my mind off of irl stress so I like indulging in it from time to time. I don’t know why she has to make me feel ashamed for it. Idk I feel pathetic I just want to cry right now, idc if I sound overly sensitive as heck.

Wtf that's not a friend! Friends don't belittle each other, they celebrate together. Even if we don't share hobbies, at least boost the happiness and spread the joy. I don't give a crap about sports but I'm happy to say yayyyy (sports team), good sporting. Like wth it takes 2 seconds to be kind. Agh, I flipped a table for you.
My first bf told me to tone down the anime fandom decades ago, and it still irks me. He's a huge nerd now with the cutest kids, but damn, I wish I had told him back then to shove it and let us live our best lives.

Your friend is being disrespectful towards you. Period. She clearly needs to grow up and stop coming down on you in order to make herself better etc. All I can say is love what you love regardless and try not to let her petty behaviour get to you, one day it will all come back to bite her hard, and only then she'll realise her attitude and behaviour is far from fun to be around. 💜

Thank you so much for the responses, it truly means a lot to hear those. I just really needed to hear that it was okay liking whatever I liked so long as I never hurt anyone. My friend is into kpop and stuff and I really dont mind what she likes if she’s happy listening to her idols, so I don‘t understand why she has to put me down for liking some fictional characters and their stories. They’re both just harmless interests that make different people happy.

They don’t need to understand why you like something to accept that you do. The fact that it means something to you should be enough for them. They don’t have to like it like you, but that doesn’t give them the right to make you feel bad. You should be allowed to be yourself and like what you like. I don’t always like the same things they do and I don’t have to pretend that I do, but when I see one of my friends happy and excited about something I support that thing.
 
My best friend texted me “hey *name* can we talk?” At 4am in the morning. It’s 3:20pm now and she still hasn’t responded. I’m probably overthinking this, but I’m really nervous. I hope everything is okay.
