What's Bothering You?

I’m done joining friend making servers. I almost always get ghosted within a few days (and often within a few messages). Even the ones that messaged me first and added me on their friend list ghosted be super quickly. My friends have said I’m a good texter, so I have no idea what was going on. For example, someone messaged me from one of those servers and said “I was wondering if you were open to chats.” I said sure and they added me. I sent one more message and never heard from them again. I sent a second message in case they forgot to respond and still nothing. What’s the point of pretending to be interested in getting to know someone if you’re just going to immediately ghost them? I didn’t even say anything bad. Another time someone pretended to be my friend for two months and just used me to emotionally dump on and then sent an abrupt “Please stop texting me. I no longer want to be friends anymore. Enjoy the rest of your day,” message.

I think I just got unusually lucky with that one group of online friends I made on one of those servers. We’ve texted each other in a group chat daily for two years and they’re awesome. They’re definitely the exception. Most people I’ve met on Discord just treat me like a disposable person to talk to until they’re bored.
 
The state (SC) I live in keeps playing this weird anti-vaping propaganda ad and it's not what you think it is. It's insane and they keep playing it. I hate it here so much.

The ad is saying that the Chinese are tracking your kids with them, with the ad depicting them watching kids and stuff. I'm not kidding, I'm surprised it's not online yet. I don't know much about vaping, so this is new to me.

I think I ate something that upset my stomach. I’m feeling really stressed again; worried that I’m annoying everyone too or taking their kindness for granted or something.

No comments or replies please

I have to go to work today, 1pm to 5pm and I'm not looking forward to it.
And I don't trust that it won't be busy when I'm there. Also awkward timing, means I needs to eat lunch earlier before I go, but my body doesn't like that so will probably be hungry throughout the day. (I don't want any food there, nor do I really like bringing in anything, it's not like we have an area separated from customers to eat)

Also woke up ans saw a message from my bosses ex that was sent two hours ago (why he thinks I'll be up at 7 I don't know) and it says to call him 😔 Great.

Edit: omg it got worse a coworker is sick and wants me to come straight away 😫
 
I am awake before 5 am after having really weird dreams. I'd like to sleep more before the day starts :/
Also, I feel... Not exactly on edge... But it feels like a ton of stuff is changing in my life right now at once. So.. it's a little much. It's not all negative.. but a little whipped up. Stimulating, or mind racing.
 
My left foot and ankle hurt. I get these random pains on top of my left foot and stiff soreness near the bone bump (?) of the ankle. I put more pressure on this foot when I walk, so I have calluses on it but not the other. It’s also a little smaller than my right.

Side note, but that is saying a lot. My feet are VERY narrow for my height, to the point where people at school have told me I have tiny feet lol.
 
I'm stressed because I'm pretty sure I am going to be forced to leave the house today even though I feel horrible. I don't enjoy this in the slightest because it's almost always inconvenient days where I really want to stay home. It doesn't help that my health has been declining more and more so I pretty much never feel up to this. Even if I did feel okay, I hate sitting around in a noisy room with nothing to do. I'm not even really okay with eating today and it's a family dinner.
I will try to ask them to go without me but I highly doubt it's going to work. It's extra frustrating having to somehow explain why I want to stay home when I have so many health issues that it's difficult to describe, especially to someone who will usually underestimate it and not care.
Hmm, maybe if I refuse to get ready.... They better not get mad or guilt trip me.

I might come back and give an update on what exactly happens.
Edit: I ended up not having to go but I also started feeling worse.

I've been in so much discomfort after my surgery, I haven't been able to get much of anything accomplished. it's mostly affecting my college stuff, because I literally have another review paper due a week from today (again), and I still have a bunch of reading and note-taking to do for Chapter 4, even more reading and note-taking to do for Chapter 5, and I'm probably gonna have to find even more articles to reference for the review paper. if I can't print the articles I have to read (which I know I can't, bc I can't go to work to print them, and I can't drive to the library to print them), then my ability to takes notes will be seriously hindered and it'll make my life hell. I seriously feel like I might have a panic attack just thinking about it. I am beyond stressed. I wish these two things didn't have to happen at the same time 🥲💔

Can you contact a coworker and ask them to print your notes for you? I'm assuming they know you're out for surgery
 
Stressed out about the tariffs and the economic impacts they will cause into the future as other countries, rightly, see us as an unreliable trade partner and look to redirect business elsewhere. The tariffs aren't going to bring manufacturing back in such numbers as to even come close to "justifying" this chaos in even a small way. It would take years and careful planning to even get the country prepared for reindustrialization like that. If anything, it's just going to further entrench wealth disparity. It's thrown the global economic system into chaos and other countries are also facing the effects.

All this on top of all the other important things that have been targeted by the Trump Administration like Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, anyone who works in a government agency, civil rights protections, voting rights protections, any mention of historical contributions of people of color, women, LGBTQIA+. And many more issues, I can go on. My sibling and their spouse's job security is being threatened by the craziness in this political climate.

There are nationwide protests, like yesterday, but nowhere near the numbers necessary. Too many people are too tuned out of politics. As the saying goes, you may not mess with politics but politics messes with you. I guess I can only hope that, as everything gets worse and directly impacts people, it wakes more people up to the importance of standing up for your rights and being engaged with politics moving forward.

In saner times, I would've spoilered political stuff like this since people don't want to see it. But the situation is too dire for people to ignore.

If you have questions, concerns, or feel you must argue, take it to my DMs so as not to derail the thread.
