Bio

So I guess I come here usually when I want to vent. I used to be more active but I think I just feel out of place sometimes in environments like this. It's easier to be off on my own and only drop in every once in a while. Maybe I will say hi more during the holidays.

Here for my midnight emotional breakdown woohoo
Relationship Stress / by BusyBird

...See more Boyfriend loves to say things after midnight that are cold and and then blame me for not liking it. Trying to talk about it gets me more of those comments. I wonder if he wishes I would get sick of him and willingly live on the streets. If only I could just cease to exist. That would be easier for everyone. And when he (occasionally) comes back only mere moments later to do something like pat my head (a very small attempt to be gentle?), I always feel this conflict within me. Like I don't know if I want to cry, or if I want to beg for more attention, or if I want to swipe his hand away and reject him so he knows I'm still upset. I wonder if these posts make me look selfish or crazy or anything like that. Hate to pursue him for conversation because I think I look desperate or disrespectful. Especially when these happen right before we are supposed to sleep. Actually, we should have gone to bed already. Still, I feel like it's not that hard to just be at least a standard level of nice even when tired.

Halloween is almost here!!!

...See more I'm in my late 20s so I guess it's normal to think the holidays are less fun and vibrant compared to when I was younger. I do think there is a real decrease in actual Halloween spirit, though. Hardly anybody where I live decorates or dresses for it. I'm going to try. Last few years we only got a handful of trick-or-treaters so most of the candy gets wasted. But yay at least we still kind of have an excuse to look at spooky things! Spooky in a fun and thrilling way. I love the colors. Stuff like this can make you feel more alive, which is a little ironic. What are you guys going to be doing for Halloween?

Imposter Syndrome
Student Support / by BusyBird

...See more I can't focus today, nor can I really absorb or understand anything I am made to read. I have heard that it is called Imposter syndrome when you do well academically but you feel like you didn't earn it. I feel like this a lot. I forget so much, and then I have to perform for the instructors. I get a lot of help with some classes so it feels extra unearned. All of this makes me think I'll forget everything when school is completed. Now when I am put under pressure, I instantly forget everything, and I fear someday it will get me in big trouble. Yet they expect me to learn at such a fast pace! But I am really slow. This is why I need so much help. And now my motivation is so low that I couldn't attempt certain things on my own if I tried.

Hair in the Shower!!!!

...See more I need to know if I'm being unfair real quick. So I live with someone. She frequently leaves globs of her hair on the edges of my shower. I've been asking her to stop for years. She refuses. The trash can is right next to the shower. She leaves slimy hair on the bathtub until I throw it away. Is it so wrong of me to want her to throw it away herself? I hate touching slimy hairballs. I throw my own loose hair away before it gets gross. Is it so hard to just do what I do?

...See more I've been thinking a lot about nationality and racial interactions I have had. I feel like it can be so easy to be sweet to any type of human, but because I am American, I am sometimes met with low-blow jokes. They are usually not even creative, and they do not usually even apply to me as a person, so I find them quite disappointing. So... there is a bitterness growing within me. If they do not insult me and my people, then they express joy in the concept of our downfall. I try not to let it change me, but it is getting difficult to keep my positive view of people who seem to ooze with some weird misplaced superiority over me. I usually find out later that their behavior is an attempt to distract us from their own problems, funnily enough. I do not want them to have problems, but I do not like the superiority complex and the weird petty flexing some people do just because of my nationality or race. And when a real actual tangible problem gets brought up among me and my foreign friends and my elder friends alike, they just tell me to fix it myself. But I cannot, even though I wish I could. I cannot fix the world's problems. Most of them started before I was born anyway. I cannot even fix my own personal problems alone. If I were like them, who enjoyed making fun of or putting down their foreign friends for country-wide or world-wide problems, then I could say such nasty things. But I am not like them. So I won't. That doesn't mean I have endless patience, though. Don't test me, please. I want to remain gentle. I hate when I get mean...

...See more Does anyone else feel like weekends are supposed to be free-time, but they are actually just as busy as the week days because of homework? I do. I am starting to wonder what weekends are for.
