What's Bothering You?

My lack of irl friends. I want to be able to screw around with other kids my age, in person. I want to goof off at the mall or go see a movie or just have people to talk to at lunch lmao. God, this feels almost pathetic.
I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve felt this in high school. Unfortunately the friends you make in high school, very rarely do you stay friends. You become friends in the first place because you have that one major thing in common, that you go the same school. It’s situational. A lot of friendships are, unfortunately. You become work friends or school friends, but you don’t talk outside of there. I’ve come to realize friendships like that, where you just goof off or see movies with, those are very hard to come by. I’m graduated now, but back when I was in high school, I didn’t have any friends, nor did I care to be friends with any of those people. I also didn’t eat lunch in the cafeteria. I had a pack of muffins I took with me to the library and snacked on it there. It was more private and nobody bothered you there. And when the library was closed, I would hang out in the halls and the bathroom — they weren’t monitored very well, or nobody cared. I just wouldn’t dare step foot in that cafeteria. I have very few friends still. I have a few acquaintances at work, and a few closer friends I met online, but none I’m extremely close to. The exception is my best friend who I’ve known for about five years now, but I met her online. The truth is you don’t need a lot of friends. You just need close friends, and those are hard to come by because people suck. I’ve felt exactly like you did, and I couldn’t be happier to be graduated. I dreaded school for those reasons. I hated “get with a partner” as well because nobody wanted to work with me and it was annoying. I just sat there staring into space hoping I would disappear.
 
What? Forget the book elitists for a second, lmao. That’s a crazy thing to say about anything some takes an interest in. Telling someone they can’t feel a certain way until they’ve done something is crazy. You can also be a casual fan. Like you don’t need to know anything and everything about something to like it, and someone knowing more doesn’t make them a bigger fan. Just like what you like, no big deal.
This, so much this and also why I don't really engage in most "culturefandoms" unless I know I'm at the same convo level with people, those elitists are the worst especially when it's hard enough to get into at all.
 
looks like plans to see my girlfriend are falling through for the umpteenth time. i love her, but it's been 18 months, and i'm getting tired; it's always something on her end.
 
The way they're still making me go to work despite me thinking I have COVID. I got tested today and will have results by Wednesday, but it's annoying. Why make me come in and risk me getting others sick? I'm vaccinated and usually wear a mask wherever I go when I feel ill, but... I'm still putting myself and others at risk by going to work :/

EDIT: Forgot to add, I only have a few symptoms, but because I'm not running a fever I can technically still work. I don't normally run fevers when I'm sick, so it's like................. really:/

Anyways, praying it's just a cold or sinus issues. It IS that time of year but I was also exposed to someone (close friend) who just tested positive a few days ago. I was with her last week, so I'm just.. paranoid
 
Went to the hospital with my baby one night ago, because she was nonstop vomiting, voice very rough and didn't fill the diaper since over 24 hours. Called doctor and he said we should come to get her checked out, so we went. Waiting room was pretty empty, 5 people max. before us. We get called in from a nurse, she makes a little check (for whatever reason) and she was having zero clue what she's doing. Couldn't figure out how to mesure the bloodpressure, etc. Back to the waiting room. Hours pass, nobody there anymore besides us. People that came AFTER us were already done and gone. Fiancé asks at the secretary if we got forgotten, she said "No, it just takes a bit longer today, sorry for that."
FIVE hours later, literally nobody there anymore since at least 2 hours and the secretary woman comes to us: "Soo.. what was your name already? It's weird that you are still here". We give her the name and she comes back "It says you got already taken care of. You are no longer on the list since a few hours. I will get a doctor for you asap". Another nurse comes 10 minutes later to bring us in the room, tries to make the pre checkup while also having zero clue how to do what and says bad words in front of my 3 months old baby, great. Anyways.. finally after 30 more minutes of waiting, a doctor.. well, a woman that is learning to become a doctor comes and checks my girl out. Nothing wrong according to her. "Maybe she caught a little virus." and we were allowed to go. Well that feels freaking great that my little girl suffered in obvious pain for hours and got FORGOTTEN IN THE HOSPITAL. HOW THE FRICK CAN YOU FORGET A BABY. I'm still so mad about it and how they had zero clue what they were doing.

Also: She is no longer vomiting everything and starts filling up the diapers again (still a bit slow about it) and in general is a lot better now. I'm guessing it was really a virus, because now I had the same symptoms the day after the hospital visit.
 
I think it's official

I am sick.

I've had a sore throat for the past 3 days now, I've been tired and rundown these past 2 days along with a lesser appetite and today my body feels rundown, my head hurts, and I still have a sore throat which I'm now coughing from.

Atleast today and tomorrow are my days off so I can maybe recover a little. It's prob cause work has been busy and I've worked two 10hr days in a row.

I need orange juice STAT.
 
Boris Johnson is officially off his rocker if he thinks he can get everyone over the age of 18 to get a booster jab by the end of December/beginning of January. There’s not enough vaccine centres and volunteers at the ready to deal with this new plan let alone currently give out booster jabs to anyone over 40. Plus as predicted the NHS website has already crashed due to the high amount of people trying to book an appointment online. 🤦🏼‍♀️

Oof I feel this. I had a really great person I became friends with during a very trying time. Eventually it got to the point where it felt like they just didn't want to put the effort halfway into meeting anymore. But then when I looked into it I realized I was always the one initiating stuff and most times my memories of them were just about how much they flaked on me.

I don't personally know about your relationship, so I'm not saying that to offer advice. Just that I know how frustrating that it is.

@-Lumi- and @Stella-Io Sorry to hear you're dealing with that. I've been having a bit of a sore throat and the such lately to. Those lozenges like Ricola do help temporarily. I've been taking at least one a day. I hope you both start feeling better!

I used to worry about this a lot, but honestly a lot of my 'friends' flaked on me so much that I was still upset and disappointed. It does suck yeah, but I find just doing things on my own and doing what I want when I want has given me so much more happiness. That's not to say I don't or won't enjoy one's company, but don't let it consume you.

ah, yeah, it's not a one-sided thing -- she actually picked this date. it's just that she went out saturday evening for drinks and ended up getting spiked, which was horrible, so i'm not saying i'm tired of her or that she went out and got spiked on purpose or lied about it (she's got a diazepam prescription from the hospital to prove it) just that i'm tired of how fate seems to keep throwing up roadblocks to stop us from getting together to the point where it seems completely unbelievable and even my family seem to think she's making it up. (again, she's Not, i've had proof, but that just shows how implausibly absurd it all is.) it sucks doubly because my brother keeps having his girlfriend around 24/7 even though she only lives in the street behind us, and my whole family acts like they're God's gift to humanity while my girlfriend is just some psycho manipulating me for fun, and when i pointed this out and how it kind of reeks of homophobia (based on how differently they treat us, i.e. acting like my brother and his girlfriend are a "true" and much more perfect couple despite being together for far, far, far less time and actively taking an interest in them but never us etc.) i was somehow the villain. it just sucks all around.
 
@daringred_ Yeah that's why I wasn't imposing and saying that's what is up with your situation. Just that I know how frustrating it is. That friend of mine did start accusing me of pretty horrible stuff to so that was kind of the final straw for me.

Hopefully you can meet up with her, probably not soon as she is recovering, but perhaps sometime in January for New Years or something? Sorry that all of that is happening to you.
 
ughhhh there's something going on with one of my favorite content creators but I have. zero idea what. and it's impossible to find any information on the situation without DMing strangers to ask and like... this is making my anxiety flare up badly enough, there's no way I could DM people who are basically strangers to me in the state I'm in right now.
and I really hate that I found out that anything was going on right before I'm about to go to bed; it's gotten me all worked up and have no idea if I'm gonna be able to sleep ;-;
 
It’s bothering me that I’m unable to participate in some of the tasks because I don’t own New Horizons anymore. It’s not really a big deal, but still. 😔
 
I can’t seem to lose weight no matter how hard I try. My antipsychotics make me hungry, so I was recently given pills that reduce hunger. I also try to walk at least three miles a day. It doesn’t seem to help though. My weight is still the same as it was a few weeks ago.

This, and I don't really have time for doing all these things properly these days... Plus I have other stuff going on that I have/need/want to prioritize for good or bad :(
 
Feeling very ill today. I slept all day... I wish I had the energy to do the tasks for the event before the other ones open but xwx Aaah. I have zero energy at the moment. Hopefully this feeling passes, but if my COVID test comes back positive I have a feeling I'll be sleeping a lot more and having no energy, etc. :^(
