A lot is going on IRL for people. Just take care of yourself. Remember there isn't a comment that can't wait 24 hours to be posted.

I don't know the situation, obviously (Geez - I just invited myself over ONCE - kidding). However, I find honesty is the best policy. In any relationship, we stress so much about how the other person is going to take it, but if we are just honest; it tends to be how it's meant to be. Maybe don't be cruel, but just tell them you don't want them in your life.

Hey, thank you for reaching out. However, I don't think it would be a good idea to catch up. You know we tend to fall into the same patterns as the past has shown. I'm in a good place and I think we are in a good place as we are separately and I would like to maintain that. --- yadda yadda.

Something that is all hey, I'm not interested but yo thanks, ya know. It's hard. I moved to a different state to get out of a cycle with an ex. We'd break up, stay friends, do things, end up together, be good, get toxic, get 100x worse than the last time, break up, stay friends.... So I understand. It is hard to walk away, but it's best for you and that should be honored.

@reimesu I'm not stating it was you in a specific sense, that's why I generalized.

@Auspice -- I normally call the company directly (not fill their form) and say I have questions, etc. I don't give them my number.

So my slight peeve --

I put Curious George on repeat for my dog when I'm gone. However, I find myself quoting it. This is my peeve. I quote Curious George.

@SinCerely

I am not handling it (as in I'm not really involved in it), however it is a good place to post and it's not strange. This is VERY anxiety causing and 2020 can be done now.

@SinCerely

As I have moved cross country a few times. It sucks. However, I'm really glad that you had a support system .Sorry about the toothbrushes.

@Wizz

I mean, if you love it and it has meaning to you. Keep it. Not all people sporting Bible verses are Christian or even believe in God. Just saying. They just like the verse/the meaning to them/etc.

@Tinuviel

Same feels: old flames who keep popping into my life, so we can both experience the joy of rediscovering why they were old flames.

Gdi I just want to meet someone new

All of this. Although, I moved states to avoid it. I'm still like well I mean maybe.... then I'm like FOOL, just say no.

Block is your friend?

Also... when I saw genius cat before scrolling up. I'm like OMG.. is a cat in glasses... not category.

Mind if I ask what kaiser is?

It's insurance on the West Coast, I had it when I lived there a million years ago.

Also thank you everyone. I'm not anti-medicine, I just don't like it. So I'm trying to figure out how I know it's time. It's so hard (maybe that's just me) but I've had this un-diagnosed for so long that I think the 'issues' are just normal behavior, etc. So thank you.

@faraday

So I watched all these videos. I forgot you/someone had directed me before. I had them bookmarked and just didn't circle back (irony). So I played a game on my phone, while watching them all.... then I went back between wanting to cry, feeling called out, and being like OMG.. it's.. normal?!

Then I did the 'through your child's eyes' thing for attention disorders. It was like being back in school. I could feel all the stress and all the yep this. --- I may have chuckled at the college degree thing too. Where I barely have my associates, but I have like 600 level+ psych classes because I was interested in it.

So um... thank you.

That moment that I am literally tapping my fingertips together and clicking my nails as I think. It's a nervous habit. I have people in my circle and around my circle IRL and online that are not having a good time right now. No matter how removed from them I am, I can't help thinking if I've done something. Now. That might be fine, but here comes my stress.

My brain:
Do I ask them? What if I am the issue and I ask them and they didn't want me to. Then they feel harassed by me for asking even though I'm not sure if I'm the cause, but I could be the cause right? I mean it's possible. People say if you think its you, it must be you. So do I write them off and never talk to them again? I mean, I guess I sort of have to.

Also my brain:
But.. what if... hear me out. What if you are not the reason, but by not reaching out you are making them feel like you don't care? However, they aren't going to tell you that they feel this way they will wait for you to ask, but you arent asking because it could be you. How do you ask without asking? What if you are adding to their feelings of (insert issue here) because you aren't asking? Does this make you a bad person? You should really reach out.

Also my brain:

But.. wait for this.. what if you were originally right and it is you and you reaching out is resurfacing what they are feeling and....

Does anyone else do this? It's exhausting. Is this normal? Is this just me?

@wretched

THIS.

So in life I'm pretty optimistic and bubbly. I feel like that's the word they use for controlled (?) chaos. When I get in an emergency situation, it's like my brain slows down but in reality I think I'm just processing everything and handling it. HOWEVER - when the emergency is over and I feel I'm in a safe place/everything is handled. I lose it then.

@ominous

I hate the dating scene too. Feel free to trade stories.

@silverfox said in The Work Thread:

I'm sure it'll be fine, but damn, I always get itchy before conferences.

If you work in an elementary school/middle school. It's lice. It's always lice.

@Auspice I like cats, wine is iffy. I'm more a whiskey drinker or a shots taker. Do I -have- to have a sordid tale? The year's almost over and it seems like a lot of work.

@Tinuviel said in RL Anger:

@RightMeow Always assume people are going to be at least a little shitty. You're usually right, and when you're wrong it's a pleasant surprise.

This just makes me sad.

@Auspice Does he think this song (thread) is about him?

Being a supportive sibling, I was like suuuuure, I'll try keto with you. It's fine. We can do this together.

Ignore the fact that my job LITERALLY is baking sweets, pastries, cakes, pies, cookies, and all the carbs daily.

@Auspice

Look when opportunity offers you not to have chapped lips, sometimes you just take it. What if that was the only chance I could have for it... I mean.. (insert wink wink) I'd use your chapstick.

Really, I probably wouldn't. I kind of lip curl at my sibling offering me theirs sooooo...
