.Not everyone is going to be able to help with everything, it’s okay! I slept through the entire second riddle for my team, and had it figured out before I even woke up. You have 140 points and you’re doing a great job!

I felt this way a bit during TBTWC because I didn’t have WiFi. I couldn’t participate in any of the online games. I felt like people would’ve preferred a member on the team that had WiFi capabilities. I just wanted to feel apart of the team and participate. It felt nice to feel part of something, which is why I love these team events. I’m glad there were tasks that didn’t require WiFi, otherwise I would have felt completely useless. I don’t want to make this about me, but I’m just letting you know your emotions are valid.
I hope you feel better.
. I feel bad for letting the same things get to me, but can’t help but freak out when I say something; can’t help worrying i did something wrong in addition to not being able to help with the riddles. You’re right and that is what I kept telling myself, by my anxiety is yelling at me that I let everyone down 
. . I appreciate you sharing that with me. .i won’t tell you to not beat yourself up as i know that’s easier said than done, but i completely understand how you feel and your feelings are perfectly valid! my cabin mates did a great job at coming up with guesses and working together, but all i could do was search around the forums since i had no guesses myself lol. it’s a rough feeling, but we both did our best and i’m sure your cabin mates appreciate you a lot! and like @Croconaw said, you’ve earned 140 points to help your cabin and that’s awesome and something worth being proud of! i hope you feel better after you’ve gotten some sleep. you deserve rest.
i just found out about technoblade’s cancer myself; i don’t watch him, but i wish him a speedy recovery and will keep him in my thoughts. i’m also so sorry to hear about your rat passing away - may they rest in peace.
Hey Dun, your feelings are valid and I've definitely had this thought numerous times throughout Camp. It's not the best feeling, but as long as you're doing your best, that's all you can really expect from yourself at the end of the day. Any effort is appreciated.Even though I know I am not the only one that had trouble and feel this way, I still feel like I am now seen as a “bad” team mate since I couldn’t think of any guess for any of the riddles. I said I’m sorry since I do feel bad that I suck at riddles, but Idk I feel self conscious.
Also doesn’t help i didn’t sleep till sometime after 8 or 9 am and than slept past 5 pm.
I really need to talk to my counselor but at the same time she makes me feel angrier not better. i am still tired of feeling so disgusted and angry. I like my counselor but I hate the questions and counseling. Will try to get some sleep and hopefully i feel better tomorrow. just feel so triggered.
I was really happy a bit ago so i am hopefully i’ll be okay after i get sleep
It's also really hard to fall into the cycle of burnout when you feel like you're not working hard enough and sacrifice sleep to push through work, even though your brain could really use the rest.
Hey, i know you said this a while ago, but I can relate. Those clues were really hard for us, especially since everyone wasn't participating. I tried to help, but they figured it out without me, but it's alright. I mean, I still kind of think of myself as a bad cabinmate sometimes, because even though I completed all of the Woodlands tasks, I still feel like it's not enough, and count the bottle is out of question because I suck at guessing. Hopefully with the homework event we can at least catch up to the melon ballers but I don't know, it's very frustrating that we are having trouble yet everyone else isn't.Even though I know I am not the only one that had trouble and feel this way, I still feel like I am now seen as a “bad” team mate since I couldn’t think of any guess for any of the riddles.

Trying to uphold my personal values when it comes to work is so hard sometimes. I feel like I'm trying to live to be the best version of myself, but then within the span of one week, I get the impression from two different male counterparts (one is a uni acquaintance, the other was an Internet stranger who is a member of a Discord server I'm a part of--so his opinion shouldn't matter to me but I have an ego, LOL) that I'm on my career path sub-optimally.
Situation #1 with Internet rando: I was on a tech career panel last weekend, and someone asked all the panelists how to choose between working at a small versus large company. I was the only person currently working in a small company, and the other three panelists are working at one of the FAANG companies. While responding to this question, one of them said "Only big companies solve big problems." Excuse me? My tolerance for people making generalized, blanket statements with absolutely no degree of nuance has gotten so low.
Situation #2 with a uni acquaintance, in a group chat we're both in: The impression he gave me is that he was subtly flexing that 1) he was given more responsibilities in another one of the big tech companies, despite saying himself he's being carried by his team, and 2) his job is something that he "glows about to family and friends." He mentioned before that he sometimes had to work weekends and said yesterday that he only had to do that because he wasn't fully paying attention to working during the weekdays. He also clearly doesn't understand the different nature of working in a small company and wearing multiple hats versus working in a large company of nearly 200k employees and comparatively having unlimited resources for not dropping any balls. Like great for you, I actually want to learn and better myself, not to mention have the opportunity to pave some roads within an organization. Why does someone need to share their pride in their work with others???
For a culture that claims to value individualism, I feel like there are still a decent number of hypocrites who will try to impose their version of reality onto others and it's just like... no, I don't want that. You live your life your way, and I will live mine how I want to.

i hope you don’t mind me replying to this. >>
I can’t help but feel a bit like I don’t belong and negative thoughts. Doesn’t help I’m in an awkward situation but am doing my best not to let it stop me from having a good time and helping my team out. Sorry koopa about the inactive members. I would be incredibly frustrated with that.. if you want to vent more, my dms are always open .
I tend to skip the those types of things because I’m not good at them and I rarely finish everything in tbt events if I participate, but since I’m on a team; I’ve been having to push myself to get through it all so I don’t let everyone down. I try to help with the bird watching and the Homework, but I’m really just no help at all. I can definitely relate to this
