What's Bothering You?

[Foreverfox]

my mom and dad are inviting some of their friends over for the 4th of july and their kids are coming too. my mom wants me to talk with one of her friend’s daughter who is my age and i’m not necessarily good at that lol. my mom says that she has the same interests as me but im slightly worried that she is going to find me boring, that im going to have a bad impression on her and she’s going to be bored at the party the whole time.

You definitely should not feel pressured to talk to someone if you aren't comfortable with it. However, if you do want to talk to her and you're just worried she won't be interested or might find you boring, it may be that she would actually be more bored not having someone to talk to if there aren't many people your age there. Feel it out at the time and do you you feel is best. I hope this helps!

i mean i want to talk to her but usually my conversations with new people are short lived. we’ll talk about music or something and then suddenly not know what to talk about. idk who else’s kids are coming but im expecting that she’ll most likely want to hang around me bc im the closest in age. my mom and grandma are probably going to encourage me to talk to her. i want to be socialable, i want to have friends, but then again i like to be alone. i can talk forever with people i already know which is an improvement from a few years ago but it’s hard for me to talk to new people and im scared to approach people which i think that i should be better at since ive been in therapy for almost half my life until now.

you don’t need to reply back to this, this is a vent

I hope you get some good sleep friend!

did you ever grow up using dissociation as a coping mechanism but because you used it for so long now you dissociate from literally everything in your life and you always feel empty and lonely even when you're having fun or did you grow up normal?

For sure, though I've gotten better on enjoying stuff and not feeling as lonely.

Also tried finding a nice handbag since I need another the one I had broke on the zipper and I don't really know any that fixes that stuff around here and it was old... No luck, new or used. :c

In too much pain to walk. Getting up and down the stairs takes 3-4 times as long. I've spent most of the day in bed - even took a video call from here. Luckily my supervisor was sympathetic and even offered to postpone the meeting until I felt better but I really needed to speak with her despite how unprofessional I must've come across.

I'm so sorry to hear you're in so much pain and not feeling well. Hopefully everything turns the corner soon! Plenty of fluids, even though it's always the last thing anyone wants to do when they're not feeling well. Glad your supervisor seems to be understanding at least.

She is very understanding! She told me to rest this afternoon, so I've just binge-watched over half a season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine in a single sitting.

Does beer count as a fluid in this context? My mother kindly dropped some off for me (and cooked me dinner!) after I turned down an invitation to a BBQ.

I'd definitely say it counts! I mean, it was dropped off as a care package, so...it has to count.

It's definitely making being stuck at home alone in bed on a Friday night with a heat pack a little more bearable.

I have been in what I think is sensory overload for like 5 hours straight, would be nice if it stopped

I don’t want to work on my room today but i have to since my sister and nieces are coming over tomorrow.

I’m still dealing with depression and need space, though it is better today.

bothered by something else too.

I'll live. My doctors messed up by not informing me when it was safe/necessary to resume treatment for a blood disorder after they initially suspended treatment due to the pandemic, so I'm a bit of a mess now. Upside me reaching out to them has prompted them to investigate who else might have been missed so others should be able to resume treatment too.

I really am bothered by something and wish there was a way to hide from it.

Messed up on a raid run that i picked double stamina in a game I’m playing just because i bumped the screen with my finger (it is a game that requires you to tap the screen).

It’s 10 degrees cooler than it was a few days ago, but my apartment is still sweltering. That’s what I get for living on the third floor…

Also I’m worried that I make people uncomfortable by my presence. Due to my mild autism I usually can’t pick up those signals.

Hey! I just want to let you know I’m not uncomfortable by you. I need some space right now because I’m dealing with a lot of depression. That is why I am not replying right away. I will say I am not used to being flooded by questions and it gets a bit overwhelming but I know you’re just being friendly. Sorry if I made you feel bad.
