What's Bothering You?

nothing beats listening to my parents get into an argument over the stupidest **** ever, and listening to my mum tell my dad "shut up!" in the most juvenile way possible. it literally takes nothing to put in the effort to have effective open communication, and neither of my parents are putting in any amount of effort. it's actually insufferable to watch, and even more insufferable to live with.
 
I went downstairs to see my dad, and I saw that he just bought a bunch of weed. Lovely... It's just hard to see that my parents are addicts. At least they're (somewhat) transparent about it, but it's still depressing.

They still don't believe me when I say I'll never touch any substances, and it's always the same crap: "You'll get curious and want to experiment", "you might change your mind", "there's really not a lot of people like you"... I'm tired of hearing it.

I've also been thinking about how some of my friends would casually mention their substance use to me, even though it's illegal at our age. They know that I'm sensitive about the topic, even the ones who know about my mom's overdose/alcoholism... So why the **** were they telling me about it? I don't know, people suck sometimes.

I just needed to vent. I hate how this kind of stuff randomly pops into my head and I get all emotional.

I’m doing okay today, just a bit sluggish and dealing on and off with depression. I’m anxious since I found tomorrow I have to see the doctor about my leg and foot problem I had since last summer. I haven’t been doing the exercises. >.<

Also, still troubled about a genocide. My mom doesn’t like what is going on either but she hasn’t been really boycotting anything well even if she thinks she is since she keeps getting my nieces mcdonald’s, squishmallows, starbucks. It’s different if she didn’t know who they were supporting; I told her many times (ofc she does forget since she is getting much older). The fact she does that knowing this bothers me since I feel like she kinda doesn’t have the right to say anything about the genocide when she is continuing to buy products while knowing who they support. I’ve stopped saying anything because I don’t want to argue any more and am mentally tired enough. Still is my nieces entertainment really worth the blood being spilled with the money that comes from those companies?

It also troubles me how some people are just finding out about it when it has been going on for 75 years. They are very open about it in their political rhetoric too ever since Ben-Gurion’s days. Holocaust survivors have been speaking up against this too, yet I don’t get why even that isn’t making people question my country’s government traditional views and actions, and the way we present history. Don’t repeat history yet our government has been turning a blind eye and not so discretely supporting this genocide as well as others (indirectly and directly). My country has done so many incredibly inhumane things but in the narrative they wrote, there is no mention of the things we do. Instead it is written to be that it’s always the other country’s fault.
 
Different day, same crap. 😬

My grandparents are bring their annoying dog over here AGAIN tomorrow. I know a lot of you guys on here love dogs and may not even understand my struggles, but they just stress me out, unless they are low maintenance and chill, which there dog is not. I TRY to get my dad to understand where I am coming from, but it is a major struggle since he is a massive dog lover. Both him and my brother are. I would usually respect their opinion, but they just do not understand...

I don't even really mind the barking unless I am trying to sleep. It's just exhausting making sure he doesn't get into my room, and trying to

And look, I usually do not give a crap what other people do outside my household. Even if I may not be a pet person myself, I am glad they can serve as a source of comfort and happiness for many people.

However, my grandparents are constantly going on trips and they apparently have not found any other pet-sitters. THIS is when it gets to the point where I care.
So yeah, I really don't think they are cut out for having pets, considering they always have somewhere to go. I am not saying they are BAD dog owners by any means. I just do not think it is a good idea for them to own a pet if they have trips planned out, like, once month or even more, and only have this household to drop him off at. They are the most non-homebody people I have ever known. I hope their current dog will be their last one until they get to a point to where they will not have any overnight trips anymore, or they find other pet-sitters. Whichever comes first.

I know living on your own requires a lot of responsibility and independence, but man, I hope I can get to that point eventually, that way, I will not have to worry about compromising for anyone, which is something that can be even harder. My dad can get a dog, my brother can get a dog (he will probably move out before I do, despite being younger), and I can set my own rules and boundaries.
 
I was rudely awakened this morning by my dogs barking non-stop at a tree crew outside. Right as I woke up, my dad asked me to go move bricks that were impeding their way. By the time I went to the bathroom, got dressed and went outside, he said that he didn't need my help anymore.

Pretty sour start to my day I'd say.
 
I posted earlier that I wish I was less approachable. Not sure I actually feel that way, but someone approached me on that day and was getting on my nerves.

He was sitting next to me for nearly 20 minutes saying things like “Let me guess, you are a lesbian.” He also made a condescending comment about my teeth (which doesn’t make any sense, because there is nothing wrong with them. They are fake??) He said people like me don’t give people like him a chance. I ended up saying that the teeth commenting offended me, and he said that people like me always get offended and I need to grow thick skin.

He asked me if I’ve ever been told that I talk too much, and tbf, I do talk. I’m openly extroverted, and it’s a shame that means I have to sometimes encounter people like this. He made me to feel like my emotions are not valid, and that I shouldn’t be upset over comments like that.

Comments insulting physical appearance aren’t necessary and definitely shouldn’t be said to people in public that you don’t know. Before my teeth were fixed, I rarely received comments directly. The most I’ve gotten were disgusted looks from people, but tbh it’s normal to react that way when you see something gross. I wasn’t expecting a rude comment or anything about my fake teeth (which are meant to look perfect because they are fake).

Because of this incident, I’m in a state of not wanting to talk to people, but that feeling is slowly subsiding.
 
Jewels kept waking me up for attention this morning; when she wasn’t bothering me, I kept waking up because I was anxious about leaving the house and the doctor’s appointment that I’m waiting for. I want to get this done and over with and then go home. Leaving the house keeps getting harder.

Today just started for me, so hopefully it gets better. Right now, I’m feeling pretty depressed and a bit lonely. I can’t wait to be back home with my cats.
 
For me - I've never actually gotten to see anything holocaust related outside of school textbooks. (and maybe the occasional film like Schindler's List). So it was my first time morphing those textual images into reality.

The disturbing part sank in with seeing just how effectively systematic the extermination process was. They had videos of the victims being stuffed into the trains. If I'm not mistaken, around 90% of Jews in Poland were wiped out. I envisioned the Holocaust as a messy affair, but not like a cognitive machine.

That doesn't even get into the live human experiment stuff. As if it wasn't enough to wipe them out. They turned children into science projects.

It was a learning experience though.
If you're ever interested in hearing a firsthand account, the man I met made some videos before his death discussing his experience: Rudi Oppenheimer. They have accounts from eleven other Holocaust survivors on there too.

too anxious and nauseous to formulate words so. this has been my night every night for the past 2 weeks, something that's been happening on-and-off since february, and it is actually insufferable. : )

anyone know anyone who still does lobotomies because i need my brain to shut up
 
Theres an online game I play and this guy I disliked for a while. He didn't do anything wrong specifically, so I never said anything, but he just really bugged me. Then, today, someone took a screenshot of his belongings in the game and found things where he was being antisemitic and homophobic (how are you going to be homophobic on a game where everyone is LGBT???). I guess my ick was correctly placed!
