What's Bothering You?

It happens. Whenever I get more sleep than I usually do I feel more worn out. Our bodies get used to a set sleep schedule. I really do need to get a better sleep schedule and stick to it either way lol.

At work, someone threw a crate at me at just the right angle that the corner hit me between the eyes. It still hurts lol.
That wasn’t very nice. I hope you are ok and feel better soon.
 
That stuff bothers me so much. People forget on accident, sure that happens. But people can also remember on purpose. When anyone says that line, I always think about that. You can purposely remember stuff by leaving notes, setting alarms, ect. It's understandable to be upset about that! You can forget by putting literally no effort into remembering. And that usually says a lot if it's someone that's supposed to be your friend. It shows they probably don't value your time or respect you. I'm not talking about your friend personally, just my old ones that I finally let go because I really doubt they even cared about me. Sorry you went through that.

I took it the same way. They took me for granted. I'm not the one to yell or cut them out right away, so they took some liberty, I didn't even get an apology, they acted as I was the one who made the mistake and I know it's not the case because I'm the anxious type that have to ask and confirm several times, especially if I have to go out because I hate that. We are still "friend", they live in another city now so we rarely see each other but I don't they them seriously anymore, I do my stuff and if they really want to see me, they have to find me.

The first offender is family so...
 
[deleted something I wanted to vent about.]

Also hoping to find this important container I misplaced some time ago; it contains some tools I use for crocheting and it never felt the same when I had to rely on a flimsy plastic yarn needle and a paper clip turned into a makeshift stitch marker to make my latest project yesterday. :\

I've ME/CFS and going through a flare-up, so there is no right amount of sleep. I just feel awful 24/7. 😅

Yesterday at work was insane. I was asked to prepare 19 individual senior pupils projects, on top of work for other classes. It didn't happen. I think I got through 10-12. Today is going to be busy again. I need rest. Saturday can't come quick enough. 😴
 
My chronic headaches are back again, and I've completely lost my appetite on top of it. Not only am I dealing with headaches that hinders my ability to work efficiently, but now I can't be bothered to eat at all even when I should be. My doctor isn't coming back from vacation until the 20th, and I'd have to wait about a week when I make my appointment anyways. I'm frustrated because I can't figure out why I'm feeling physically ill and can't see my doctor for another two weeks. **** me.

My social worker told me to expect a call a week after our last appointment. It's been over a week with no call, so I'm getting anxious about that too.
 
I’ll try to make this my last AI related rant for a while.

I am so frustrated on AI. It was rolled out way too early before adequate regulations and quality control could be done and now it’s being forced on everyone. Imagine if the internet was already being used for everything in the 70s when the technology was still unreliable. That’s what AI feels like to me.

Instead of positive applications, it is mostly being used to infest the internet with soulless, mediocre generated content, spreading misinformation confidently to users that ask it things, filling every site with endless spam bots, and being used by countless people to cheat in school. Now it’s being worked on to replace many people’s jobs within the next several years.

I engage with AI like ChatGPT often anyway because it feels like it’ll be the future whether I want it to be or not and I want a head start on it. The technology is abysmal now, but that may change in the coming years. I take everything it says with a grain of salt and I avoid revealing anything too personal about myself since I know everything I say might be referenced or tracked later.

While AI is almost universally loathed by the general public right now, I worry much of gen alpha and gen beta may trust these bots too much and it might cause a lot of chaos in the future. I imagine it’ll be like what are smartphones are currently where a lot of old people hate it being everywhere while younger people are more accepting of it.

I don’t see much good with the future of this technology, and it bothers me a lot. I decided to cut off online tech forums to prevent myself from getting too upset about it.
 
$770 is not enough when everything you owned burned.
$750 is not enough when everything you owned got wiped from a storm.
Insurance companies shouldn't be able to wiggle out.
That whole situation bothers me. It's a really crappy situation and I just feel bad for the people who lost everything and basically not getting anything. I don't care if it is a natural disaster or man made from some lunatic. That shouldn't matter at all for help and/or coverage.
This could happen to anyone. And depending on the severity of the situation could even effect employment.
 
I’ve lost all hope of ever getting into a relationship. I’ll be 23 in a month and I’ve never even had my first kiss. For years I kept thinking I’d eventually meet someone and it’s just never happened. Every time I confessed to someone they rejected me and when people did show interest in me I blew it one way or the other. Either I didn’t like them back, I said or did something that made them lose interest, or I was oblivious until it was too late.

I don’t blame anyone for not seeing me that way. I’m not good looking, I can barely hold a conversation outside of texting, I have psychiatric issues, and I dropped out of college. I know I wouldn’t date myself, that’s for sure.

I don’t mind being single right now, but knowing I’ll probably be like this the rest of my life bothers me. I hate thinking I’ll miss out on such a basic and common human experience. I don’t want to force anything though and I certainly don’t want to settle. That’s unfair to myself and unfair to the other person.

I need to go out and try to make friends irl. My online friends are great, but I need connections in person too.

If that makes you feel any better, I’ll be 32 in less than a month, and I’m not in a relationship either.
 
Erm… I’m 27, and I haven’t had my first kiss despite dating in the past. I’ve only had my teeth fixed for a few years. It’s not like I had a shot with anyone with how they looked before.
 
23 is so young!!!!! You have plenty of time. I know it's hard to listen to, but it really does happen when you're not expecting it. I wasn't looking for anyone and ended up with my bf. The funny part is I 100% wanted to be single because I was happy doing the casual thing and being a workaholic. I had rejected a few people up until that point. I didn’t have my first bf until I was either 25 or 26 (idk what our anniversary is so 🤷‍♀️).

Easier said than done since it's something you actually want, but take your time having fun on your own. The right person will show up. Sorry you're feeling down and hope you make lots of friends in the meantime!

I wouldn't fret, 23 is still quite young and you have plenty of runway even if it doesn't feel like it right now.

I'm in much the same boat as you in some of the aspects you mentioned, but I'm older. I'm somewhere along the asexual spectrum but not, like, 100%; not really attracted to, like, body parts, and for many years I was just flat out disinterested in finding a partner. As of the past few months after my most recent birthday, I've been increasingly feeling the urge to try to find someone myself since I'm not sex-repulsed or anything and I would like the companionship. Feeling that "now or never" anxiety.

While I can ultimately accept not ending up with anyone if life goes that way thanks to my, uh, unique orientation, now that I'm feeling that urge, I'm going to put forth my best and am going to try to see if anything might develop. I encourage you to not give up if it's something you want.

From what I've gathered from friends and other folks, dating is just kind of in a bad place in general for everybody nowadays.

Society's kinda collapsing and economic factors are stacked against the younger generations, and the lives a lot of us are leading aren't what we were told to expect. It's easy to look at where other people are in life and feel discouraged when we don't have this or that.

Work on improving the things you can change and accept those things that you can't. Easier said than done, I know, I'm a socially awkward introvert myself with a fair share of self-loathing, but hey. Can't catch a fish if you don't cast your line. Heck, maybe you don't even have a fishing pole yet, I know I never even set foot in the bait & tackle shop until recently and got mine. Put forth the effort and you'll get the hang of things eventually. It might take a while, it will most likely be quite frustrating along the way, but at least you'll know you tried. You might or might not land a prize catch, but you'll probably reel in a few cool fish along the way and make some memories. Even if a romantic relationship doesn't spring from any of this, you'll be better off for the connections you make and the things you learn throughout the endeavor of learning to socialize more in person.

Wishing you the best!
 
I really wanna meet up with my friend, but despite asking to meet up, that never seems to be mentioned in his reply to my messages.
I know he's like not mad at me, otherwise he wouldn't have reponded. He's acting like he normally is in his messages. I don't wanna keep on about it, but my mum is persistant and shes angry that he hadn't taking the time last year to meet up, but like its a two way thing?

And I hope he isn't thinking I just wanna meet because I have presents for him, and he's not really a big gift guy; I just don't like keeping something that isn't mine. Plus it isn't just that, I do wanna meet up with him.
