What's Bothering You?

[TheSillyPuppy]

One of my rats passed away today and one of my favourite youtubers has cancer

Sending you lots of good vibes. It must be so hard losing a pet and finding out someone you look up to is going through such a serious health diagnosis.

just found out that apparently my brother's gf broke up w him, idk how he's taking it but I hope he's okay. she don't deserve him anyways, such an awesome dude

I hope your brother will be okay, too. You sound pretty close to him, so I think he will reach out to you if/when he needs further support.

@Dunquixote, thank you for being such an empathetic friend. I'll definitely reach out to you if it continues bothering me. Thankfully, I already felt a lot better after writing down my thoughts in the post. I wonder if this is a sign to me to start journaling.

Just not having a good night. My anxiety is being the absolute worst and making me feel awful and I still have to do my shadow entry but I’m really struggling with that which makes me feel dumb because other people are doing there’s without any issue.

I’ve also been not helpful at all with our group tasks like the scavenger hunt and the homework assignment which makes me feel like a bad teammate. Idk. Just a bad night.

annoyed that when I wanna do some productive real life stuff like sewing or drawing I suddenly get tired lmao. Pretty sure I have ADHD or something. So many times I wanna do stuff but just...can't

I am really sorry you’re feeling this way. I think quite a few of us have been feeling this way. Even though we aren’t on the same team, I can tell you right now that I believe you are a wonderful teammate and very well liked and I am sure no one feels like you let them down. I know this is probably hypocritical of me to say when I was just posting about this last night too and still feel like not very welcome or helpful. :/ I saw your other entries and I really can tell you are trying your best and putting the time in. To me the fact you are trying to help out and putting a lot of effort in is what matters (but if you had no time because of work, I understand stuff happens).

I’m also sorry about your anxiety. Anxiety is just the worst. If you need to vent more my dms are open . hang in there. i hope you feel better soon.

The important thing is that you're aware it's your anxiety telling you that you're not good enough and there's nothing intrinsically wrong with you.

You've also gotten 140 points, which I believe means you participated in every event, except for Stories in the Shadows, which is objectively great!

It can be really hard to practice self-compassion and patience with yourself, especially as someone living with anxiety, so I hope this message at least reminds you that you are doing your best and it's okay to cut yourself some slack.

If you need someone to talk with, feel free to PM me.

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

Late reply, but don't worry, it's not all your fault. You have 120 points, so you're definitely helping! It's just that I feel like it's just not enough for us to catch up. I mean, there are some really hardworking people like @Valzed, @DaCoSim, @digimon, and @Venn, but I just wish that everyone did all of the tasks and they got accepted, because it's not fair if we have inactive people but everyone else doesn't.
Sorry about the rant, it's just that I wish it was easier for us to catch up

The members got placed into Cabins randomly. It’s just unfortunate that certain cabins did get some inactive members. There will be more events in the future to participate in. This event is coming to an end. The most important thing is to have fun. There’s no use in worrying about something you have no control over. I think you’re doing a great job!

aw love . struggling with your shadow entry doesn’t make you dumb at all; i struggled with it a lot myself, hence why i only submitted it tonight and am unsure that it’ll even be accepted. coming up with an idea, gathering items for it and then having to try and take a decent picture is tricky, but that’s of no fault of your own. you’re a very kind, bright individual.

also, as one of your fellow teammates, i can confidently say that you are not a bad teammate. group activities can be intimidating, especially when it comes to stuff like the scavenger hunt. i didn’t participate much either, but we’re both doing the best we can and have been able to help in other ways! you’ve racked up 140 points for us, which is absolutely incredible, and all of the submissions of yours that i’ve seen have been amazing!

you even offered some of your acnh flowers to a fellow teammate so that they could craft something they needed for one of their entries. a bad teammate wouldn’t do that. anxiety is absolutely brutal, but it’s also a liar, and i’m so sorry that it’s making you feel like things that you aren’t.

you’re wonderful, lumi, no matter what.

I know we’ve never spoken before, but I hope you don’t mind me replying. It’s okay to feel this way; your feelings are valid. Coming up with my shadow entry was a struggle, and I was also having trouble with the Cryptid creature thing or whatever it’s called. I felt that my entries in those tasks were somewhat lame, but my main goal was to help my cabin. I had the access to the game, so I thought, why not participate? Some people are good at different things. Lyrics for the Campfire song were coming to me naturally, but that’s because I used to write parodies in my free time. I know a lot of people were struggling with that activity. The main thing is that you try, and please don’t feel overwhelmed. You don’t have to participate in a task if it’s causing anxiety. Your cabin won’t be disappointed in you. There is a great group of people here that support everyone. I also came in late to the homework task and I didn’t feel much of a help finding the answers, but the event is supposed to be fun and bring people together. I joined this event to have fun and hopefully make friends with some people. Please don’t let it cause you anxiety. I think you’re doing a great job.

mediafire reacting to song titles when it's not even the thing they think it is LOL

idk kinda sad abt the fact i don’t have anyone to call at night anymore i still miss my best friend.

 

[Dunquixote]

Spoiler: personal

Edited: I think everything is okay though I think I could have said things better >< and I still suck at socializing.

 

[Alienfish]

perhaps a more pet peeves but people who unironically have a "it is what it is" mindset when they obviously are able to get help for it it's like... ??? you know there are actually poor people in the world lol.

Thank you guys for reply It was really really sweet of you and none of you had to so I really appreciate it. Last night just wasn’t the best and all the team stuff added to it I guess, but you’re all super sweet for replying I hope that you’re all having a lovely day today

 

[.: Meri :.]

@-Lumi- I'm sorry I didn't see this last night, but I also want to say that you've been a great teammate! And Stories in the Shadows is tough, so please don't beat yourself up over struggling with it. I'd say that, maybe aside from Wildlife #2, it was definitely the task I had the most difficulty with. I had two failed sculptures and my final setup took several tries to get to work— I had to try three different light sources to find one that worked with taking the picture, and by the end of it, after finally getting the right angle and everything, my back was sore and my hand was cramping.
Bad anxiety nights suck, and I really hope you're feeling better today.

Ugh. I was going to an island that was selling Turnips for 300 bells because apparently on my island my price kept on decreasing and according to the AC turnip calculator it turned out that it would keep on decreasing no matter what the days were. Feel frustrated I went to an island that was turnips for 300 bells per turnip and of course the let me pay a 10 nmt fee (I am not surprised that people still do this). So I went to the island and just as you suspected there was a lot of people. The constant "on their way here" and "leaving" screens were all over the place. I was able to sell my turnips but then, I had to wait 25 minutes because so many people kept on coming and leaving.

I was stuck there for a long while and I was able to leave. I am sure the person on the island didn't intend for people to come back, but seriously the amount of people who keep coming back were the same ones with the dodo code. They should've just went back in the queue to wait but, they didn't know better. I say this because the host was so frustrated. I was frustrated myself also because I was stuck on the island. I know people don't like it when I complain about the game and I am sure they heard this argument so many times, but the online for New Horizons is so bad. I mean these loading screens are just the reasons why I never do trading and then I have to worry about so many people coming in and out.

I just don't know what to do. I want to help with the homework event, but I know I can't help my cabin because I don't know anything about the clues. I know people are probably getting tired of me complaining, but it really is rough for us. I didn't expect to win anyway, and we will probably get last place, which is fine, but I just wish I could be useful to the cabin, but I'm not, and probably never will be.
Plus my unstable emotions are acting up again...my mom tried to find me medication for it, but it's not really helping

If they’re tired of you complaining they’re definitely tired of me .

Same here. I tried to help but I feel like I just annoyed everyone .

i thought things were going to improve but at this point I think things are done. I’m really sad about this and don’t understand something I read here (probably was meant for someone else); I stressed myself long enough about this so I guess time to move on and not look back.

I can see that Koopa, you've achieved 120 points for your team and Dunq, you've achieved 160 points for your team! And that doesn't even include the tasks that gave bonus points to cabins.

You have clearly both been great cabin besties. (just wanted to reassure you )

i am here once again with another rant

i have to go to school tomorrow i can’t believe im a sophomore already, it feels like i just graduated 8th grade. i was in-person from september to december but then i went virtual for the rest of the year. there’s no virtual this year for me and im sad i have to leave my mom, i have like zero friends and i don’t know how to make any. i’m also pretty sure i heard some people talk **** about me when they think i can’t hear them and im afraid of being made fun of. one of the only good things is that i don’t have pe this year, and my brother is coming to my school but im also scared for him. i’m also kind of stuck socially with something. i don’t hate my school, i just hate the social aspect of school. at least my experience last year wasn’t as bad as my middle school experience, let’s hope it stays that way. middle school was a ****ing hellhole. why can’t i just be a normal girl who knows how to socialize, i cause 99% of my own problems.

also about the cabin summer homework, i feel kind of bad i can’t answer anything because i know nada. i really wish i could help

sorry that my grammar is absolute garbage
