I'm sad because I missed out on the supervisor position at work :// I really wanted it because I feel like I've earned it and can do it SO much better than our current supervisors. It would've looked really good on my CV/resume too. Damn.

♡ let me paint you a picture ♡
Today was one of my not so great days, as I usually try to be very positive. I woke up, excited to see some RL friends for once since all of the quarantine stuff. For some reason, I start getting severely anxious, and I got my very first actual migraine. My vision went blurry, but I still decided I was going to go. On the way there, I got extremely sick and vomited, meaning I couldn't go. I just stayed home the entire evening to try to get the golden toothpick from Splatoon 2 ONLY to find out you couldn't auto-pass any levels. Yay. So now I must work on my social skills again. And beat Octo Expansion completely....
Really high anxiety, I'm having a bad day mentally. I wish I wasn't so busy all of the time so that I had some quality amount of time to relax. I'm exhausted and feel a little burnt out. The stress I'm under has triggered my anxiety big time. Heart has been racing all day. It's also raining outside so I can't go out 
Hey stop apologizing or yourself, please...You should NOT take what they do to you and don't feel sorry or such even if that's somehow a rational thing to do doesn't mean it's right. Hope you're safe at your friend's though ;;
Often when people are giving others advice they are doing so based on their own life experiences. This may seem hypocritical to the person receiving the advice, but the intention is to make sure that someone else learns and benefits from their mistakes.my mom: *spent her entire young life living in people's shadows, never standing up for herself, being submissive*
Also my mom: "you need to learn to stand up for yourself and be assertive"
bruh where tf you think I got it from
bruh big mood.my mom: *spent her entire young life living in people's shadows, never standing up for herself, being submissive*

or when parents don't teach you things at all because they're afraid you will "leave" them yeah tf you think some parents are just so dumb.

love of my life 💙💜
that's just it though, I get that my mom wants me to learn from her mistakes but that's really hard to do when she raised me the same way her mom raised her (she's an extreme helicopter mom, as a result I don't have the proper social skills. doesn't help that I have aspergers as well, it's like a double dose or smth).
tell me about chopper moms (and dads), they never taught me stuff and yeah bad social skills from start + asperger's ****ing perfect lol
idk how my grandparents even raised my parents bc they are definitely not like that...

I really don’t like how I open up to people so easily because then it becomes a problem they tell others but not me, lol. It’d be a lie if I said it was barely bothering me. It’s really frustrating, annoying, and it’s incredibly upsetting because they can’t tell me these things to my face. I have always been one to value honesty at a very high level. I think it’s the thing I value the most in life, actually. I really could care less how much it hurts my feelings, because I’d rather have my feelings hurt than have them spared with blatant lies or not the complete truth. So when people hide these things from me for so long, it always makes me scratch my head? You can’t hide forever, y’know? Bleh.

Yep. I think many of us Millennial folks had those kinds of parents. The thing with Boomers, and the latter part of the Silent Gen, is they wanted to give their kids everything. My dad even said this was a major driving force of his, he wanted us to have everything he didn't have growing up (even though he had an easy WASP American upbringing, lol). So while Millennials got lots of attention and doting, we ended up largely spoiled. There are so many things that have taken me longer to learn as an adult than prior generations. My family didn't teach a lot of basic life skills; much of what I learned in cooking and cleaning, for example, came from working in homes with individuals who have developmental disabilities. Those skills weren't emphasized at home, believe me. Especially as I got older, and went from my childhood to teen years, my family kind of just gave up giving me any sorts of responsibility. They had the naive view that, because I did well academically, everything would be fine. But life is much, much, much more than doing well academically in school. Social and practical skills need to be explicitly taught. These are things that, if my husband and I happen to conceive in the future (we plan on one child in a year or two), we will make a priority.
Yeah, while I can understand why at parts, it's not a good thing not teaching things and just spoiling; my dad did exactly that and basically pretended not to see my Asperger(he still doesn't and I got it official late in life). I sure have some academic experience but it was topics I found fun and I never got a degree (yet) from it. And yes you need much more experience than just fine academics to do well in life and if you don't get proper teaching in life(tm) you're not gonna succeed much in other areas. And I could definitely have been without spoiling.
And yeah basically all stuff I got taught was school or grandparents/friends/relatives/coaches etc. you name it. My own parents basically spoiled me or just forced other **** that had nothing to do with learning life on me so yay :^)
Sounds good though, though I wouldn't wanna grow up in this toxic generation where internet is everything and everything you do is dug up and forced to apologize for, and you learn to hate on other with no perspective on what and where they come from
(FTR I'm 28 so yeah while I'm younger than you iirc I definitely had my share of **** gen parents)
