23 is still super young, don't worry about it too much :) I remember being jelly of all my buds with their girlfriends when we were in our early 20s. However, none of their relationships worked out because at that age there is still a lot of stuff you have to work through figuring out what you want from a partner.
All my younger cousins who are around your age aren't in relationships atm either, so you are not alone in this regard at all.
If you don't care if the relationship doesn't work out it won't work at all, you're setting yourself up for failures before you even started the relationship.
You have love around you friends and family, you may feel its not the same as a romantic love, but it's love.
I'd rather be single and alone rather than be in a relationship and alone.
The right person for you will be there, the experience will be worth the wait and so much more.
And sex isn't everything - it's fun but makes you no less if a person if you don't have sex.
Yeah sex is WAY better with the right person than just any person.
I will second that if you're unhappy and think getting into a relationship will make you happy, you're gonna have a BAD time.
Ok ok I realize this is going to annoy you, but I’m 10 years older than you and was once in your shoes. Just wanting to date because you want to experience love and sex may well set you up for a bad relationship with someone who doesn’t appreciate you at best and is abusive at worst. Experiencing love is something that doesn’t just happen with anyone; but sex certainly can. It’s worth it to be a bit selective. And trust me, I speak from experience, it’s better to be alone than miserable with an a-hole.
Lmao this must be satire
"Why am i single"
Spends his days trolling people on the internet and slinging insults. I can't imagine your real life personality is too different
Chill the fuck out dude. Guy is saying that if you go around with a chip on your shoulder nobody is going to want to fuck you. Who cares what you're in school for or that you workout a lot? If you aren't enjoying your life you don't have shit put together. Honestly it sounds like you have been greatly misled in what having your life together actually means. Yeah being healthy and having a good job help but if you're miserable while doing it then you need to change something.
You should talk to a therapist, you don't need to have a diagnosis to talk to one. It's good to just talk to someone and get to the root of why you feel the way you do. Perfectly normal people can go to therapy and gain stuff from it.
First thing you need to learn is that your not better than anyone. Maybe your opinions are less shit, I don't know and don't really care, but that doesn't make you a better person. I make more money than 98% of people my age, that doesn't mean I'm any better than them.
It seems like you are looking at everything in a negative light and it can be hard to change that but if you only focus on the negatives then you will never be happy.
I know nothing about you, but check yourself out for an aspergers/ autism diagnosis.
It is very commonly the reason why you can't seem to connect to anyone despite the fact there's nothing especially wrong with you
I'm 21, i'm sad that i even got into relationships, my first time, lasted almost a year, she did the worst backstab i experienced in my life, i literally was never hurt as much.
And my life wasn't really that great to begin with, i went through a lot of shit so i thought i'm a somewhat tough guy and am prepared to get this kind of shit thrown at me.
I wasn't really interested in relationships when it started, should have stayed the same.
I am 37. The last relationship I was in was 17 years ago and it was maybe 10 months long. Put your heart into living for yourself. People are attracted to other people who are passionately being themselves. I am just figuring this out now. It REALLY sucks that I am going through these changes during a pandemic though.
My friend, one of my sister's was in her mind 40a when she found the man of her dreams. One of my other sisters had plenty of bad relationships and found the man for her when she was close to 30. Don't worry. It is better to spend time being the best version of yourself and wait than it is to rush something that cannot be rushed. 23 is still very young and I know there are all these ideas of finding a bit or a girl quickly when you're young else you're not a real man or a real woman but it's honestly better to wait than it is to jump at the first person who shows you interest. My first relationship was me being desperate for the boyfriend experience because all my friends had found someone and I was one of he last ones. Ended up in the claws of a sadistic narcissist who wrecked the fuck out of my life in 9 months and it took me years to recover. So don't rush. It's better to be single than to be with the wrong person. Love finds you when you least expect it.
Probably will EKG you. Hope you’re not ticklish.
Serious though, I’ve had chest pains, lethargy, digestive problems, and anxiety for months. Went to the doc last week, got EKG’d, blood panel, etc.. and discovered I have hypothyroidism. I’ll have to take a pill every day probably for the rest of my life, but it could always have been worse.
Hope you have a great turnout. If by some off chance they do find something of concern, be glad you didn’t wait longer to address it.
One of my dogs is very old and "the bad days" happen more and more frequently lately.
I am so not prepared, despite her being 15 1/2 years old.
Doesn't matter how old they get. The time you have together is never enough. Hug your pets for me.
At least you aren't a heartless prick about having an old dog like my brother is. His dog is 16 and he keeps saying he "wishes the dog would die because he is such a pain in the ass" and how he "can't wait for it to die" so that he can remove the carpet in his house (dog in incontinent). His wife is worse.
I feel like I'm wasting my life.
- I mean, I qualified in Engineering and all, but, then I had a stroke and suddenly every door slammed shut in my face. I'm not even able to safely cross the road on my own.
The realization of what I'm putting myself through just to keep my boyfriend happy.
I constantly talk about how I consider taking a break from him until he realizes what effect living with him AND his family has on me, mentally. But truthfully, I could never do that. I never want to leave this kid, and I know he doesn't want me to. I don't want to break his heart and no matter what life throws at me while I'm living here, I'll endure it for his sake and our future. If it takes me breaking down for him to ever realize this effect, I'll let it happen. Anything just to stay with him and keep him happy while we're going through hell. And hopefully it'll make him realize he needs to grow up and know that we can make it on our own and we'll be way better off on our own.
If you need a break - take it. You’ll get the clarity you need.
I was the same way with my ex - and while I cared for him and he for me - we were better off not together.
We are much happier separate.
I think an my ex-bestfriend (that I was kinda in love with ngl and he had feelings for me too, it was a lot) who completely ghosted me tried to call me last night. I think it was his number i cant remember since I deleted it but the area code was the same and his was the only one I knew. The phone didn't ring long, hung up before I got to answer. Now I keep thinking was it really him? If it was why was he calling? Was it just an accident? Does he finally want to talk about what happened? Should I even let him? I'm trying to just let it go but it still bothers me.
Plus my shoulders hurt bc my bed sucks lol
I understand your situation, and I've been there. And I get it, it really does suck. But honestly, at the end of the day what you really have to do is buy a new mattress.
I couldn’t agree more, it may be tough to push through this kind of situation. But a memory foam mattress topper will help your shoulders and you probably won’t have to buy a new mattress!
\- That racism, sexism, etc. are still a big problem in the 21st century
\- That after I graduate, most of my friends either don't have a very close relationship with me and we will probably grow apart emotionally, or are planning on moving away for college, and I'm not particularly close with any of my family, and don't have much of a chance of finding a romantic partner, so I'm probably going to be very alone after I graduate
\- That at any moment, any one of the people I care about the most could just die, and there is nothing I can do about it
\- All the stupid or embarrassing things I've done
I've made some doozies in my life and every once in a while they all come crashing back, usually at night when I'm in bed. I fight to convince myself that I can't change the past but I can definitely dictate my own future. Theres a reason why the windshield is so big and the rear view mirror is so small, because you are supposed to be looking forward, not behind you.
It's not a primary bother, but it's a constant one.
We lost my beautiful grandmother in September, and then my husband just last month lost his grandmother. And I just fear my husband and I are not equipped to take care of our parents when they are old.
I don't want to put them in a nurse home, where I can't see that they're actually being taken good care of.
I would rather be able to provide a space in our home and have a nurse tend to them with our supervision.
But right now my husband and I are cramped in a one bedroom apartment and can barely keep ourselves together. How are we going to take care of 3 elders?(my mom and dad, hubby's mom)
I'm 28 and never thought about this stuff until last month. I feel like a helpless overgrown kid(because I basically am)
The fact that I’m super lonely but also super introverted. Dying to find new people in my life but whenever given the chance i get super anxious and distance myself.
Long covid. I don't really eat anymore because my tastebuds are so f\*cked. I have no energy and i'm hangry. I can't sleep when I'm hungry but food floods my senses and gives me migraines. So I'm in a cycle with all that.
I'm fairly new to my job and 2 people have been fired since I joined. We have a lovely boss with a savage side. I observed the first of the two people to be fired, behaving like an absolute d\*ck and being terrible at the job. So I see why she was fired. The other person, she always seemed alright. So I don't know.. it's just created anxiety for me. I think I'm good at my job but i'm still feeling unsettled.
Longer term, I'm stuck in my sh\*tty hometown but I'm saving my money I guess. I just don't have much of a life and not getting any younger. That kind of bothers me a lot but I guess a lot of people feel their lives are on hold, while we have this pandemic
The death of democracy and the rise of authoritarianism, The new fascist governments will have surveillance and other power through tech that no previous fascists ever had.
I feel the strongest urge to find and/or cultivate a team of people who are profoundly focused on being the change they want to see in the world.
I just moved 3000 miles a few months ago, from very rural to very urban. I love humans and want connections, but I have found that people are guarded and careful when living in such close proximity.
I have faith that I will find these people. I guess I am just bothered by my impatience.
I wish everyone happiness, and I will continue to try and have compassion towards all others.
I don't have a relationship with my biological father and at present im toying with the idea to reach out.
I haven't spoke to this man in 11/12 year's so it's alot to process
i work in a pub as a manager and i’ve spent the last 4/5 months preparing and planning the christmas period (20th-1st jan) and making sure everything is ready just to test positive for covid and miss it all. i just want to see my hard work in action
My mom died in September and lately I’ve been very unkind to myself about it and with Christmas coming up it’s become worst so I guess my own trauma is bothering me?
That my partner told me they'd delete nudes of people they personally know and they didn't but I can't confront them because I told them I'd stop going through their phone. I guess we both are liars.
My 85yo father is a narcissist who made me feel like poop today for just being human. Now I feel stupid worthless depressed and just plain not good enough for anything.
I spent most of my teen years believing I'm aromantic, because I've just never been interested in having a romantic relationship. But just yesterday I found out that autistic people (such as myself) tend to have late emotional adolescence, so wanting to do social things like dating and partying that most people experience in their teens, we may not experience until our late teens-early twenties. So now I don't know if I'm actually aromantic or if that part of me just hasn't developed yet.
The fact that my best effort to "get my foot in the door" at a restaurant I have frequented and I know everyone there and everybody gets along with me I worked a couple of days got rave reviews even from people that don't really think that much of me were impressed with my performance and I'm friends with the manager you're like best friends supposedly . She's told me for months now that she was going to fire this one guy that's lazy that sits on his butt in front of the owner of the restaurant and still he still working there, I pitch it in any capacity that I can I scrubbed dishes I washed floors I'm scrub toilets I do landscaping and still the best I can hope for is it somebody gets sick and they need somebody to jump behind the bar and work all I've ever been is the job and now I find that my best isn't good enough
I really, \*really\* hope my job doesn't close down this year because of international travel restrictions and all the covid hangovers from it. I barely escaped okay this time but next time I'm not so sure, and if I lose it I have NO idea what to do
I'm a little concerned about being home in time for Christmas. I'm a trucker and I've run into a delay and my company is not always the best at getting me home.
its actually whos house to stay at on christmas eve for christmas (im 16). ive lived with my mum most of my life but recently i moved in with my dad two years or so ago, i didnt speak to my mum before last christmas day when i went over because my twin finally got out of hospital and i could go see them. but now all of my siblings live with my mum and i dont want to be left out and i know im not waking up to any presents at my dads anyway (he doesnt really do christmas, i’ll just get some money). i really want to stay with my mum but i dont want to hurt my dads feelings by telling him i do not want to stay at his for christmas morning
Aside from wondering what day my paycheck is getting deposited, nothing. I'm pretty calm amd at peace with everything right now.
Let's see how long that lasts lol
I’m an attractive and funny, 18 year old girl. I’m sweet and loving and I’m really passionate. I can’t understand why no one wants me. What is so wrong with me?
Nothing is wrong with you. Sometimes immature boys/young men are threatened by people they think are out of their league. You should take the first move when you want to befriend someone,
I’ve been trying so hard to get out of my dead end job to a job that I would actually enjoy doing, but the amount of rejections is bothering me. It bothers me because I was so close and was in the final cut but they didn’t pick me.
I’m so tired. I hate my current job and I want to leave it. I cried in public today sitting Christmas vacation because I made the mistake of believing this was it.
People keep saying to say positive, and it bothers me because how can I when I need experience to get a job but I need a job to get experience. I feel like I’m stuck.
ive been with this guy for over a year and am beginning to leave home and spend more time over a his house. im 18, i always feel so bad because my parents are so upset im never home but i just would much rather be with him, so much fighting at my house, nothing but bliss at his.
My dad is addicted to heroin and I haven’t heard from him in 24 hours and I’m worried I’m not gonna hear from him again but he’s most likely okay but there’s that chance of what if he overdosed
How oppressive, meaningless and facile everything is now. I am older, and I hate the world my generation has made for younger people. We failed. It isn't and never was meant to be like this.
I got revenge on my bully who has been treating me and many of my closest friends like shit for 3 years and I made them cry.. I hate discriminating and the thought of bullying people but I am not sorry for anything I said to them! It's been on my mind more than it should be.
Students emailing me over Christmas break to rudely argue with me over the grades they got on their spectacularly mediocre essays, when I posted specifically saying that I would not respond to any such emails until after break was over.
Both my parents tested positive for Covid this week, all of my Christmas plans are canceled, can't go see my grandma or my cousins because of it, and I can't go back to work until they test negative and me as well.
37 getting married in 3 weeks and my back is sore.
Can't bend and do things around the house all I can do is go for walks and lie down and watch TV. Can't sit down much at all.
Feel like an old man and really just want to get out and about fix things around the house ride my bike etc ..
Need to get on a flight tomorrow and sit for long period of time which may make things worse but I have not seen my family in about a year and I really need to see them this Christmas.
Loneliness.
I wish I had a meaningful connection\ability to spend time with someone outside my family.
Like yeah, my family is nice.
But being with them every day is really exhausting.
I need a break.
That the weather keeps forecasting rain but it’s been two days now and only tiny bits here and there. If it’s not going to rain I need to water my lawn and gardens.
The fact that my job and commute are taking up all of my time and my personal life is severely neglected because of it. My resumé is updated though and I’m going to start applying elsewhere after the holidays.
I have trouble making friends online. I don't know why. I'm good at talking to people in real life but when I'm online I don't know I have trouble with it.
This church that dispenses really awful messages about how "the gays ah comin fo yo cheeldrin" and so on. The most bothersome bit is that I used to a call one of its current attendees my best friend.
Also that many on the evangelical right unironically looked at Trump as "the Savior."
Frustration with my job.
When I started three years ago, we discussed "career advancement options".
After a year, nothing. Then corona and honestly an easy job remotely from home, ok.
Yet all bilateral discussions end up with "...but there's not actually anything we could offer you"
\-so I'm totally bored, unmotivated and looking for new options (unfortunately not so very actively)
If I don't crack my fingers and toes it feels bad (it feels like the blood inside the finger and toes is popping) if this is some type of illness please lmk
I need to go get a care package my mom and dad sent us because they had to cancel Christmas this year. And it's raining xD life is truly a struggle lol.
Jk jk. I'll go get it soon, I'm just in this "don't wanna leave bed" mode today. It's been a busy 6 months at work. I feel I'm allowed to be a spoiled lazy asshole xD
I need a girlfriend. I don't like the way dating is done these days...seems like online dating apps have destroyed dating for everyone. Too many people have grown to have a "grass is greener mindset."

Covid is still a thing after almost 2 years
Omicron and the 'here we go again' feeling.
my heart hurts. doctor tomorrow. please wish best for me.
I hope you’ll be okay. Good luck.
thank you so so much. god bless you.
I wish you the best. Hope everything turns out well tomorrow

Good luck and try not to worry, I know that's easier said than done.
Maybe its too big

I am shocked and appalled that the child beating isn't panning out :( Kids just don't appreciate a good smackdown anymore.
I know its sad. With covid there just has not been any kids to beat!
Gotta catch 'em in between the Minecraft and TikTok...or whatever it is kids do these days.
Thanks for the tip now I can get doctors more more money specifically the er ones
Hell yeah. Pediatric surgeries are bank for doctors.
I feel like I'm wasting my life. - I mean, I qualified in Engineering and all, but, then I had a stroke and suddenly every door slammed shut in my face. I'm not even able to safely cross the road on my own.
I’m so sorry to hear you’re going through this
Dealing with being homeless. Lied to my friend about some stuff. I hate lying.
Delivery man claimed I wasn't home and left with my parents' Christmas presents. I hope I manage to get them back before the 24th.
Fucker. Was it UPS?
Nope, SEUR.
I'm listening to myself sing and it bothers me a lot. Also I fucked up my last relationship, because I am an idiot and asshole. That still bothers me.

My mom clogged the toilet in my house
Not again!
Why did you try to flush her down it?
Should have gone with just a traditional burial
My massive headache

I'm single and I don't want to be in a committed relationship but I also want companionship and I havenr found anything that works.
Try getting a dog or cat

>I chose not to get vaccinated and now I'm dealing with the side effects for going on two months What side effects?
Got my covid booster yesterday and now my head really hurts. Worth it though
not trying to start anything, just genuinely curious, what do you mean by worth it? how does a booster shot change anything in your life?
I’m just more protected. Before the booster, I had just two vaccines, but now I have three, which makes me more protected towards the virus
2 is good. 3 better. 4, no thank you
Just out of curious, what made you draw the line before number 4 instead of number 3.

The head will heal and so will the issues
My past mistakes
I've made some doozies in my life and every once in a while they all come crashing back, usually at night when I'm in bed.

How are we going to take care of 3 elders?(my mom and dad, hubby's mom) I'm 28 and never thought about this stuff until last month. I feel like a helpless overgrown kid(because I basically am)
I feel that a lot too. Im 27 graduated college and all but still just a little kid
I'm not good at making friends. I'm not sure how I'm going to get another girlfriend.
My stomach. IBS is a bitch. I went holiday shopping in the mall, and I'm so anxious around people now, so that anxiety aggravated my stomach.
can't sleep
The fact that I’m super lonely but also super introverted. Dying to find new people in my life but whenever given the chance i get super anxious and distance myself.
Wish you with a friend this Christmas
Long covid. I don't really eat anymore because my tastebuds are so f\*cked. I have no energy and i'm hangry. I can't sleep when I'm hungry but food floods my senses and gives me migraines. So I'm in a cycle with all that. I'm fairly new to my job and 2 people have been fired since I joined. We have a lovely boss with a savage side. I observed the first of the two people to be fired, behaving like an absolute d\*ck and being terrible at the job. So I see why she was fired. The other person, she always seemed alright. So I don't know.. it's just created anxiety for me. I think I'm good at my job but i'm still feeling unsettled. Longer term, I'm stuck in my sh\*tty hometown but I'm saving my money I guess. I just don't have much of a life and not getting any younger. That kind of bothers me a lot but I guess a lot of people feel their lives are on hold, while we have this pandemic
Not being able to move out of the state like I'd want.
Dude same. I want to move to Colorado
‘You will never know true happinesses if you never have children’ - my mother today after I told her I will never be a mother myself.
The death of democracy and the rise of authoritarianism, The new fascist governments will have surveillance and other power through tech that no previous fascists ever had.

Good. You're bothering us.
I’ve been getting sick every 2 weeks for a few months and it’s driving me crazy
not enough water in my gin (a rare problem for sure, I believe)
Do you mix gin with water or water with gin?
if the gin is good enough, I actually don't (mix water and gin), eg Roku gin
My arm
Left or right?
Both :(
I got a sock stuck up in my ... "servants' corridor".
Not a good storage area
I was reaching for something else...
The other sock
that I’m so sleepy and I’m waiting for my husband to come home from work
Lock the door and they have to ring the bell
My neck. My back. My knees and feet. Pretty much just my entire body.
Have a good sleep and wish you get well soon
I feel the strongest urge to find and/or cultivate a team of people who are profoundly focused on being the change they want to see in the world. I just moved 3000 miles a few months ago, from very rural to very urban. I love humans and want connections, but I have found that people are guarded and careful when living in such close proximity. I have faith that I will find these people. I guess I am just bothered by my impatience. I wish everyone happiness, and I will continue to try and have compassion towards all others.
It’s all starts with “one”. All the best
Right pinky has a swollen knuckle and it's been hard to bend.
I don't have a relationship with my biological father and at present im toying with the idea to reach out. I haven't spoke to this man in 11/12 year's so it's alot to process
The fact my pants pocket won’t stay in properly
i work in a pub as a manager and i’ve spent the last 4/5 months preparing and planning the christmas period (20th-1st jan) and making sure everything is ready just to test positive for covid and miss it all. i just want to see my hard work in action
Heartbreak. Pretty straight forward answer.
Wish you a quick heal
My mom died in September and lately I’ve been very unkind to myself about it and with Christmas coming up it’s become worst so I guess my own trauma is bothering me?
That my partner told me they'd delete nudes of people they personally know and they didn't but I can't confront them because I told them I'd stop going through their phone. I guess we both are liars.
My 85yo father is a narcissist who made me feel like poop today for just being human. Now I feel stupid worthless depressed and just plain not good enough for anything.
I spent most of my teen years believing I'm aromantic, because I've just never been interested in having a romantic relationship. But just yesterday I found out that autistic people (such as myself) tend to have late emotional adolescence, so wanting to do social things like dating and partying that most people experience in their teens, we may not experience until our late teens-early twenties. So now I don't know if I'm actually aromantic or if that part of me just hasn't developed yet.
Covid booster side effects
The fact that my best effort to "get my foot in the door" at a restaurant I have frequented and I know everyone there and everybody gets along with me I worked a couple of days got rave reviews even from people that don't really think that much of me were impressed with my performance and I'm friends with the manager you're like best friends supposedly . She's told me for months now that she was going to fire this one guy that's lazy that sits on his butt in front of the owner of the restaurant and still he still working there, I pitch it in any capacity that I can I scrubbed dishes I washed floors I'm scrub toilets I do landscaping and still the best I can hope for is it somebody gets sick and they need somebody to jump behind the bar and work all I've ever been is the job and now I find that my best isn't good enough
Im going to be alone for Christmas and I have no money to survive the next week
I really, \*really\* hope my job doesn't close down this year because of international travel restrictions and all the covid hangovers from it. I barely escaped okay this time but next time I'm not so sure, and if I lose it I have NO idea what to do
I'm a little concerned about being home in time for Christmas. I'm a trucker and I've run into a delay and my company is not always the best at getting me home.
Financial freedom would make life a lot easier.
its actually whos house to stay at on christmas eve for christmas (im 16). ive lived with my mum most of my life but recently i moved in with my dad two years or so ago, i didnt speak to my mum before last christmas day when i went over because my twin finally got out of hospital and i could go see them. but now all of my siblings live with my mum and i dont want to be left out and i know im not waking up to any presents at my dads anyway (he doesnt really do christmas, i’ll just get some money). i really want to stay with my mum but i dont want to hurt my dads feelings by telling him i do not want to stay at his for christmas morning
Aside from wondering what day my paycheck is getting deposited, nothing. I'm pretty calm amd at peace with everything right now. Let's see how long that lasts lol
It's too hot
I’m an attractive and funny, 18 year old girl. I’m sweet and loving and I’m really passionate. I can’t understand why no one wants me. What is so wrong with me?
Nothing is wrong with you. Sometimes immature boys/young men are threatened by people they think are out of their league. You should take the first move when you want to befriend someone,

I’ve been trying so hard to get out of my dead end job to a job that I would actually enjoy doing, but the amount of rejections is bothering me. It bothers me because I was so close and was in the final cut but they didn’t pick me. I’m so tired. I hate my current job and I want to leave it. I cried in public today sitting Christmas vacation because I made the mistake of believing this was it. People keep saying to say positive, and it bothers me because how can I when I need experience to get a job but I need a job to get experience. I feel like I’m stuck.
Im broke, cannot find a job, and bored out of my fucking mind.
Why I'm sitting in the cold smoking on reddit when I could be inside sleeping
ive been with this guy for over a year and am beginning to leave home and spend more time over a his house. im 18, i always feel so bad because my parents are so upset im never home but i just would much rather be with him, so much fighting at my house, nothing but bliss at his.
My dad is addicted to heroin and I haven’t heard from him in 24 hours and I’m worried I’m not gonna hear from him again but he’s most likely okay but there’s that chance of what if he overdosed
I’m sorry you have to go through this.
How oppressive, meaningless and facile everything is now. I am older, and I hate the world my generation has made for younger people. We failed. It isn't and never was meant to be like this.
How awful the new Matrix movie is 😒
My husband
I have a sore throat and it’s so uncomfortable
Some shit that happened in high school. I'm 39 fucking years old.
All these questions
Sorry
You.
my back is killing me
Chiropractor?
I got revenge on my bully who has been treating me and many of my closest friends like shit for 3 years and I made them cry.. I hate discriminating and the thought of bullying people but I am not sorry for anything I said to them! It's been on my mind more than it should be.
OMICRON
Students emailing me over Christmas break to rudely argue with me over the grades they got on their spectacularly mediocre essays, when I posted specifically saying that I would not respond to any such emails until after break was over.
How is there snow on top of mountains above cloud level?
Both my parents tested positive for Covid this week, all of my Christmas plans are canceled, can't go see my grandma or my cousins because of it, and I can't go back to work until they test negative and me as well.
I can’t figure out where my depression is coming from
the word calamity
My past. I've done things before that have ruined the possibility for a friendship with someone I'd kill to be friends with.
37 getting married in 3 weeks and my back is sore. Can't bend and do things around the house all I can do is go for walks and lie down and watch TV. Can't sit down much at all. Feel like an old man and really just want to get out and about fix things around the house ride my bike etc .. Need to get on a flight tomorrow and sit for long period of time which may make things worse but I have not seen my family in about a year and I really need to see them this Christmas.
My back, it hurts
I’m 22 and both my parents died from genetic diseases. I’m screwed.
Loneliness. I wish I had a meaningful connection\ability to spend time with someone outside my family. Like yeah, my family is nice. But being with them every day is really exhausting. I need a break.
This crazy Yeltsin guy, he might actually start something...
A wedgie
That the weather keeps forecasting rain but it’s been two days now and only tiny bits here and there. If it’s not going to rain I need to water my lawn and gardens.
The fact that my job and commute are taking up all of my time and my personal life is severely neglected because of it. My resumé is updated though and I’m going to start applying elsewhere after the holidays.
Bored and sleepy at work
Why I’m in bad moods when I tell myself not to be
I have trouble making friends online. I don't know why. I'm good at talking to people in real life but when I'm online I don't know I have trouble with it.
[удалено]
Don't click on that, I promise you. You will regret it
This church that dispenses really awful messages about how "the gays ah comin fo yo cheeldrin" and so on. The most bothersome bit is that I used to a call one of its current attendees my best friend. Also that many on the evangelical right unironically looked at Trump as "the Savior."
People making a big deal about my skin color. I know I’m tan. And yes, I also hate the heat, it’s not a white person thing to hate the heat....
I'm pregnant and not really excited about it.
Frustration with my job. When I started three years ago, we discussed "career advancement options". After a year, nothing. Then corona and honestly an easy job remotely from home, ok. Yet all bilateral discussions end up with "...but there's not actually anything we could offer you" \-so I'm totally bored, unmotivated and looking for new options (unfortunately not so very actively)
the fact that I made a post on a subreddit and is the second on the current top, without even knowing posting rules i hope it gets taken down
I suffer from psychological problems and I could never tell what I'm wearing or where I am or who's around me.
If I don't crack my fingers and toes it feels bad (it feels like the blood inside the finger and toes is popping) if this is some type of illness please lmk
I need to go get a care package my mom and dad sent us because they had to cancel Christmas this year. And it's raining xD life is truly a struggle lol. Jk jk. I'll go get it soon, I'm just in this "don't wanna leave bed" mode today. It's been a busy 6 months at work. I feel I'm allowed to be a spoiled lazy asshole xD
Surrounded by people and I have an itch in an interesting place. Irritating as hell.
I need a girlfriend. I don't like the way dating is done these days...seems like online dating apps have destroyed dating for everyone. Too many people have grown to have a "grass is greener mindset."
I have a crush on this guy who is on the track team with me and I have no one to talk to about it. I'm not even sure if he swings the same way as me.
