What's Bothering You?

My mom told me about a week ago that I have no friends, and her words cut deep because I honestly don’t. She was asking me to name one friend that I have aside from the one that she introduced me to, and I couldn’t.

My lack of friends never really bothered me until she commented on it. It made me realize that I haven’t really formed any meaningful connections. I’m friendly with people on the forums, of course, but I don’t actually speak to anyone on the forums, outside of the forum.

She felt the need to add that ‘online friends don’t count.’

I know it’s always nice to have one or two people to talk to, but I haven’t found that person yet, so it would be great to not have to feel bad about it because of comments made by my mother.

That doesn’t sound nice of your mother. Your online friends still count. You still have this apple you can talk to.
 
My manager is such a compulsive liar and it drives me insane. He says everything with such confidence that people believe them. He's also a yes man who makes promises to everyone and doesn't follow through. I feel that whenever I do or make a decision on something it eventually comes back to bite me in the ass. The Christmas break couldn't come soon enough. Recovering from burnout is just too hard right now.
 
Work in general, my boss is too lazy to calculate my hours despite laying everything out for her.
She rather moan to another worker than let us know properly.

I've been playing Pokemon EX app, and at the moment the scout gems to get x11 won't let me use the gems I have now they want paid gems? What's the point if collecting them. I can get ONE scout for 300 gems but that's just sad.
Thus is why I rarely play mobile games always want you to buy 🙄

Also have to go to UC appointment in person and not on the phone. Great.
 
I'm well now, but I've still got the cough/my lungs aren't clear yet, and I thought I was mostly over it Sunday, but I've been having coughing fits again all week. orz It's physically exhausting and also just really annoying because there are things I need to do!!
 
I am so, so incredibly stressed about the election outcome, every day it haunts me and I want to cry about how hideous and awful it is that over half of Americans think that billionaires have our best interests in mind. no the **** they don't!!!! I don't like to sound rude, but the people who voted for self-absorbed billionaires thinking that they will "save" our country are actually delusional.

maybe that's part of the reason why I've been feeling so distant from my parents lately. they were 100% in favour of this outcome. they wanted this. I am horrified, but if I tell them that they will tell me that I'm a brainwashed liberal and dismiss my worries as irrational.

I actually lowkey hate my life right now, I hate this so much. I feel isolated within my own family and it's terrible. 💔
 
I can’t believe that republicans are all about freedom but they only care about rights for themselves.
That, and some of these “freedoms” aren’t even freedom. They can’t claim that they’re fighting for freedom of speech when they’re fighting for the right to use hate speech and misinformation without getting in trouble. They can’t claim that they’re fighting for free market economics when they’re fighting for no regulations or restrictions on businesses and economics. They can’t claim that they’re fighting against abuse of federal power when they’re defending terrorists like Kyle Rittenhouse, Mark Houck, and the Jan 6 Rioters. Even a world of true freedom has rules outside the bare minimum of “don’t hurt anyone”.
 
For some reason I don't respond to yelling.

I had a lesson with a driving instructor today. It was two hours long and that basically means something was going to happen. In this case I misunderstood her instructions on a turn.

She begins to yell at me and whatever she's saying is suddenly not being processed anymore. (I'm now flustered from the angry tone and not hearing the actual words coming out of her mouth). Saying things clearly to me works better.

Otherwise it was fine and she was polite enough. I just have a tendency to shut myself off when somebody does that.
 
My uncle probably only has a few weeks left before he dies. He's deteriorating rapidly and he probably won't be able to marry his fiance in time. There's supposed to be an offer for his malpractice lawsuit by the end of next month, but he probably won't be alive to benefit from it if we win. I hope the hospital makes a settlement while my uncle is still alive instead of putting our case to trial so he can see justice be served for their negligence. This whole thing feels like a soap opera. I can't do anything about it other than spend as much time with my uncle as possible and wait it out.
 
I haven't been able to get decent sleep for like over a week now, I keep waking up in the middle of the night (or before then) and being unable to fall back asleep. If it wasn't for my morning coffee I would barely be able to function during the day. I just want to go to bed and stay in bed for once cause I'm so tired of not being able to sleep when I actually really need it.
 
Made this in canva not even a minute ago (stock image), because I am tired of waking up to phone calls, and in the end this is main bloody conversation she has to keep getting an answer from me.

Hell, maybe one day I might actually write this book.

The fact I say 'I don't know' what my sexuality is, or that when she keeps saying things like 'when you see an attractive guy/girl do you think he's hot scenrio' and I say 'don't know.' She doesn't like hearing me say 'I don't know'
When I try and say I wanna focus on looking for a career instead of someone or something like that is adnormal to her.
I haven't been in love or looked or tried to go on a date is weird and keeps asking me why I don't look.
Mum isn't going to be around forever, you're stuck in this bubble where you stay in home, in bed, playing games etc you need someone to support you etc
You remember when you said you wanted ten children YES WHEN I WAS BLOODY FIVE YEARS OLD WHY DO YOU KEEP BRINGING THIS UP

I think once, not today, but once I said sure I see someone attractive, I guess? but that doesn't mean I want to go all the way with them. Since she still asks this means this answer wasn't good to her.

I think is the main reason I don't like answering my sister at this time, because it always goes to this subject.
Because then it goes to how I should just struggle with a job I don't like because the job I want isn't out there, art jobs etc etc aren't out there, or you never get them so

My gawd I am so late to work now.
I get up early so I have a bit of time to myself but didn't happen this time around.

*Edit: my apologies about old image, I was super fustrated and wasn't thinking properly.

accidentally broke one of the zippers on my bag when attaching a new keychain that got stuck. i think i'm just going to replace the bag since it's not particularly expensive, and mine is kind of dirty anyway because of the office floor at work. (couldn't get the stains out last time i tried lol since it's beige/white.) still pretty annoying though.
 
Just a small thing. I'm sad Pocket Camp ended. I'm going to get Complete, but this version is one that I played with my mom until she passed. I gave kudos to her picture every day. I know her Nintendo account, so I'll transfer her over so I can still see her....but the memories on that game.... :") Sad to see it end....
 
I feel this urge to play the most popular nintendo switch games and watch the most popular tv shows, anime, movies, etc because I see that my friends are doing it and I have this fear of missing out.

Some of my interests as far as media goes are niche or obscure, and it makes me feel even more alone, knowing there's just about little to nobody that I know who shares some of those same interests as me.
