What's Bothering You?

I was trying to vent to someone earlier, and they completely shrugged it off. As I was in the middle of explaining everything, they turned their attention toward them and their problems. It really hurt because I'm very close to them and really thought I could talk to them.

I'm sorry dood this happened to you, it's definitely the worst. Used to have a friend who did this all the time basically only complaining and talking about their issues etc. Unless you're able to actually put down the foot and tell them it's not okay I'd probably just leave them alone, at least for a while.

It sucks that you experienced the same issue, I'm sorry to hear that. And I tried telling them to stop and let me talk, but they completely ignored it.

Yeah it was some years ago and I eventually had to cut the ties for that and other reason I'm not gonna go into here but, yeah thank you :)

I'd better leave them alone in that case, no need to give them more fire there. I definitely understand it's harder if you like the person a lot and such but if they can't listen to you and only acts as if their stuff is the only important it might be an idea to take a break or in unfortunate cases end things.
 
I cannot fathom why I still drink coffee despite not liking it. It tastes bad and makes my body super wonky for the rest of the day. I think this is what they call a caffeine addiction.

And I really gotta learn to think before I speak. I just go all in when I'm talking, which results in me saying something really suggestive (or borderline sexual if I'm being extra careless). I don't even know why I talk about that type of stuff, especially since it makes people uncomfortable and makes the whole situation awkward. I think the worst part is me being aware of it, but I'm unable to control/limit myself and what I say.

I get this. Years ago back in university I was drinking coffee every day, but it wasn't healthy for me at all. I ended up cutting it off completely. The caffeine withdrawal was bad for awhile, but nowdays I can say that I can function without caffeine at all, whereas other adults can't. I mostly drink water these days. Even though it's not tasty, I remind myself that it's really healthy to have a lot of.

Not saying this to judge or anything, just saying I can relate.
 
Mom just ate the potato chip bag I was keeping for Easter :cry: ... It may sound silly but my store is currently boycotting Lay's (or whatever they call this) and other stores sell them the double of the regular price. So I was preciously keeping this last bag for later...
 
I have had it with my brother. He claims he's more responsible than I am, but then he watches TV for an hour after supper and he didn't even start his dishes. He saw me cleaning up and all, wasn't that enough evidence? So then I chastise him for it, and he gets up and walks really close to me, so I push him away. Then he grabs my wrist and twists + squeezes it really hard. He didn't let go for about a minute. I told my dad about it and he's basically saying it's my fault because I "started it". Yes, it's my fault my brother physically hurt me. Yes, I started it by puhing my brother away 'cause he disrespected my personal space/bubble. And my dad is continuing with this stupid argument we're having, trying to have the last word like always. His voice aggravates me, especially when he gets worked up like this. Anyway, now my wrist really hurts, and to add insult to injury he hurt my right one so I can't even type + write. I'm on the brink of tears; My dad just told me it was all my fault and that I started it (even though it's untrue), my brother shouldn't even be physical with me, and my wrist hurts a lot.
 
I just read a Twitter post that one of the classical music youtubers I follow shared, a diary of a 16 y.o girl whose family is struggling tremendously during the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and I couldn't be more disgusted with how the poor people of Ukraine are being treated. I feel physically ill. I already had a really bad headache and now I feel worse. I feel so sorry for all of them, and the fact that I can't help because I literally have no money or anything to give in support.

I guess I need to take my anxiety med again, I've really been needing it twice a day and I hoped starting out that I wouldn't need to take it that often. oh well.
 
I’m tempted to bail on life. I don’t mean self harm or anything, but I want to give everything up including internet and working and people. I’ll go live on an Island with a bunch of books and I’ll make a coconut friend to talk to and name them Henry.
 
I was listening to a live recording of a podcast the other day and there was a segment where a fan could talk to the host. As he was saying something the host interjected with “I don’t care about your life story!” If he was being serious I feel terrible for the fan. Imagine paying money to see your favorite podcast host and he just acted rude in front of thousands of listeners. Talk about embarrassing…
 
Came in today to my team lead asking me to do something that I just... can't? The guide is 75 pages and I'm pretty swamped with stuff. Plus she ran into an error that I might run into after spending all that time trying to figure it out. Thanks, but no thanks.
 
Words cannot describe how much I want to beat my brother up right now. Both our parents aren't home, so he's taking full advantage by being WAY too loud and bossing me around. I hate how demanding he is, and I hate that I have no choice but to listen to him even though he doesn't listen to me (and I'm the older and more responsible one!!). He's screaming randomly, making obnoxious noises, talking to me non-stop, and doing this overly pretentious sneeze... All at a decibel level of 100! (Well, it certainly feels that away, at least.) I keep telling him to stop, but he just responds with a, "Shut the **** up, you *****!" And I can't even drown him out with music 'cause he wouldn't let me use his headset. He actually took them away from me 'cause I was using it. It sounds so petty, but I cannot stand him right now. :(
