The washing machine stopped working during the spin cycle so now I have to wring the clothes before putting them in the dryer. My mom’s return has been delayed for the see able future, so I don’t know how to proceed with this issue. For the time being I’ll have to use a laundromat.

i dunno if anyone feels this but irl friends n acquaintances getting into acnh scare me a lil because what if they find this site and find me and then all the distinction between my irl and online self is lost and i'll feel extremely uncomfortable
online just has been. an escape (??) for me. it's not that i'm not genuine online or some malicious person or wtvr, it's just that i distinguish my online self from irl self. i'd hate when someone irl finds me as "skarmoury" online and questions me on so many things like. who is skar? arent you [irl name] and dont you work at [irl place] and why are you talking about childish things like [anime] and drawing childish stuff like [cartoons] —
like no shut up im just. skar. silly online girl who wants to talk about games and hobbies and anime. i grew up with having rarely anyone to relate to regarding my hobbies so being online has been a haven for me to meet other people across the world with the same interests. like i appreciate how people online are somehow less judgemental than irl people around me, i can gush about anime and games without the notion that "i should have age-related interests" and stuff like that. anyway stop bringing my irl life into this, being online is a way for me not to think about real-life stuff

To be honest, I'm suprised none of my brothers have made accounts on this site, considering they've used gaming forums in the past themselves.
I really wouldn't worry to much about it. It's probably unlikely someone we know irl has or will ever make an account here without them finding out about it through us.
I worry about the exact same thing. I know I showed one of my siblings this website yearrrs ago when I mainly just used it for trades, and now one of my other siblings is getting more into acnh again. It's just- scary.
Especially since I post art on here so that's a pretty clear identifier for me
I know this is a public space anyone can view, but like,, it's nice having that "safe" space where I'm an anonymity ig? Being able to express myself without people I know irl constantly looking and judging is nice.
You kinda forgot how much you hate work, until you get there on a Monday, and everything has been left to do despite knowing I only have an hour and a half, and I don't make miracles.
Everything was just left, we had no bin bags either. I thought we didn't have any oat milk but found it hidden and I told my bosses ex I can't go looking for buried treasure when I'm busy.
Someone said to me cause one coworker working on Sunday has been fired is because they didn't do much, so it makes it okay to leave everything for someone else? They don't even do much anyway.
So, so tired of this place as per usual, and my boss wants me to stay there till she gets here.
probably to talk about the Thursday and Friday again. Maybe, kinda unsure.
Had to vent, I feel a bit better now that everything is pretty much cleaned. I dunno if my coworker whose come in can do coffee? Since I've been the only one to jump at the role when customers asked for it. So maybe that's why my boss wants me to stay here till she gets in? Plus she may need to make pastries but again unsure. Just wanna go home.

It really is nice having this site to be able to discuss games and art. I get told about age related interests so much from some family members that I don’t discuss most of my interests to many people. So it’s nice to have this escape from all of that. I know I get judged for my games and I don’t even tell them I got back into drawing. So I don’t even mention it to some of my coworkers so I don’t get judged by them too.
Honestly thank you for the responses — it makes me feel a little better being comforted and knowing people can relate.
I just don't know how to open up these kinds of topics with people irl, mainly because the irl communities I grew up in are hinged on social media sites like instagram and facebook where people love to showcase their whole life on there. Not that it's a bad thing of course, you do you, but it was just never for me because being vulnerable online where everyone knows my real name and details makes me feel weird. I love being online in the sense that it feels like a second life, like I can be who I wanna be without having all these expectations set upon by real-life stuff. I don't know how to fully explain it, but I just think, as a healthcare professional, how will my patients react when they find out I make silly doodles for a website called TBT? How will colleagues react if they knew I enjoyed daydreaming about my own characters? How will my bosses react if they found out I like drawing cute animals and furries? Will I lose credibility? Will irl people not trust me anymore? Will they think I'm weird?
I always felt like it was such a niche problem precisely because my interests were niche. I ranted about it in a separate thread but I think of my irl friends who've found support groups through sports or religion or running, stuff like that. My main hobby is gaming and I've rarely ever encountered local gaming groups so it really sucks. As for art, well... I dunno, people love to compare art styles and say that more detailed/realistic drawings are better and if your art style is not realistic then your drawings are childish. Which I completely disagree with, art is art as long as it's made by a human, but I don't think we need to go critiquing every art style when a lot are doing it simply for the hobby.
I've gone completely off-track I think but yeah. I've always thought my dad was disappointed I didn't turn out like him, a bookwork and all that. I spend my free time playing and drawing and at one point when I talked about my commissions he told me, "Are your clients children who use their parents' credit card?" Like. it felt like a genuine question at the time which made me feel like he thought my drawings were childish and no adult would request for my style. I know he didn't mean to hurt me but it did sting a little knowing he didn't take me seriously.

Don't get me wrong, I like having the sun up a bit longer, but Daylight Savings has really messed things up for me lol. Time flew by much more quickly yesterday and I couldn't keep up. 
Sometimes I wish we just stuck to either time.
Sometimes I wish we just stuck to either time.Also being humiliated by my parents again (being compared to a toddler btw) because I'm 17 and I'm supposed to have reached certain milestones and a certain level of maturity by then. It took me a while to while to find my breakfast because they wouldn't tell me what it is and they expected me to just...find it.
I just read some recent posts on here and while I don't know anyone IRL who would go on this website, I can definitely relate to the whole pressure to "act your age" since I'm a teenager whose favorite book is from a children's series. I really wish I grew up though. Not so I can lose interest in stuff like Dog Man, but so I can break out of the bad habits I've had since I was little. I don't like being pressured and humiliated into doing it, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

Dog Man is go!
I'm fed up. I wish my parents would stop making me do the shopping for them because they're not specific enough, I buy the wrong thing, they get mad at me, then I feel like ****. It wouldn't normally be a big deal but this happens every ****ing time.
Otherwise, I'm still not doing well or feeling any better. I can never truly enjoy my day offs because I have **** to do, plus dealing with my family. I'm overwhelmed, but it's part of being an adult, I guess. :\

my brother. he's such a leech. treats my mom terribly, gets a free ride, doesn't look for a job but still complains about everything as if he's doing anything to change his situation. won't even make his own doctors appointments because he "doesn't want to" and "won't be up at 8AM" as if he can't set an alarm and it isn't his own choice to stay up until stupid o'clock raging at video games. completely irresponsible with money, doesn't pay people back and wastes it all on takeout instead. he is a whole 22 years old. my parents have asked to borrow a lot of money from me within the last week, which is whatever so long as they pay it back when they say, but after the second request, i'm getting annoyed at having to be the family piggy bank while he sits on his lazy backside. there's literally nothing wrong with him, he's just indolent, and they refuse to put their foot down about it whatsoever and instead get shirty with me when i call it out and express that i'm frustrated at having to loan them money while he does absolutely nothing.

No dms and discord messages
I’m okay but I still feel really anxious and uneasy. I wish there was a way to hide things and filter things out that I don’t want to see (online and not just here).
An hour or so ago, I was talking to my mom and then my dad starts talking. I said I was still talking and he said no you were done. He has always been rude and inconsiderate but he has gotten worse over the years and continues to rapidly decline (health and mental health wise). I never want to talk to my mom or even play with my cats when he is him because how rude he is and I just lock myself more in my room. i could go on about things he did even when he was “healthier” when I was a kid, but I don’t have the energy and don’t want to remember.
no replies or dms please.

Some person in my area keeps abusing the ring alert notifcation system. Apparently they need suggestions on how to buy cheap groceries. I understand that person is struggling financially, but can they please ask for help elsewhere? These alerts are meant to notify neighbors of happenings in the area or lost pets. This isn't a social media platform, and all they're doing is being incredibly annoying.
I just turned off the notifications because I haven't even installed my ring doorbell yet. Meh.

TW: death, financial struggles
My dad passed away three weeks ago today, on February 19. We lost my mom February 13, five years ago. I'm not even old. I'm the only adult orphan I know of irl, and I don't even have any friends other than my flatmate since being forced to become an expat for financial reasons in 2019 -that live in the same country as me, that is. I feel extremely lonely and scared and wish there was anything anyone could do about it...

had to report a volunteer at work today because he was saying some. insane bigoted stuff. i won't get into specifics, but islamophobia, homophobia, transphobia. (and that's just based on what i Did hear.) my male colleagues were kind of brushing it off, but i was so uncomfortable that i had to say something to a higher-up, even if he'll probably figure out it was me. i don't regret it, but i am conflict averse, so it's making me a little nervous.
I'm stressed, I'm horribly procrastinating, my workload is increasing, and I have no week-long break this month; just a few weekends to spare. I want to get caught up by the end of this month and work on my hobbies without the lingering reminder that I have more important things to do, but I don't know if I can make it.
Also feeling the pressure to make a change to myself everywhere I go. Even when people say otherwise, I don't feel fine and I'm not okay.
