My first word was "Happy" according to my mother.
So, I usually sit silent and observe most groups I join no matter on what media, i am very introvertedso acts like this freak me out abd exhaust me. I have insecurity with sharing my views on any topic because everyone else seems to like to make me feel stupid or uneducated for thinking the way I do.
Anyway back to the point, I know I am struggling, and after sharing a little with my stream chat, I was told to come here to 7 cups and find people that i might actually be able to vibe with because life is stressful for everyone, i dont want to air my dirty laundry live on stream and it's nice to have someone who can listen any time you need it without an audience. Happy to know I have a place I can belong, least I hope so.
I am Misty, I am 37 this July and struggle a lot with my spiraling nightmare of an emotional life. Not for lack of trying but just sheer inability to find the correct string to pull, I suppose. Much like having the perfect push on a crane game only to find the object was stuck to the pillars all along! Shame on you crane game gods! *ahem*
I mask alot of my insecurities with humor at my expense... I stream to an audiance of none, but enjoy it non the less...I am an avid survival gamer, with a reckless tendency to wander off even when I know it dangerous. And I don't care what anyone says Fortnite is still fun even in your 30s... 😆
I grew up to a military US father and a foreign mother... let's just say the fire in my belly sometimes gives me indigestion with all the passion I feel on a constant basis(emotions are strong with me)
I find it hard to feel like I am a good friend, and have fears of abandonment and major trust issues. I find that people are usually only into a connection or friendship because they treat it like a business transaction and not a true bond. I shouldn't have to give you a gold star for letting me cry on your shoulder or hearing about your bad day. Just making that other person feel better should be enough.
The cup of tea mentioning in the description of this group made me feel happiness, tea and coffee are big passions of mine... I'm not professional but im an avid enjoyer of many different kinds!
I am terrible about writing small posts about myself, I get typing and I kinda just word vomit and over share. I've been told I'm way to honest and can be harsh, but like the horrid saying goes. "I do it out of love."
Uhm... I have a 12 year old long hair chihuahua without a bottom jaw named Spencer and a sweet lil 11 year old long hair "Ruby" black kitty cat named Lil Ryuu. They are my whole world. ^^;
Oh and I love conventions... very much and miss them abd working at them everyday. (Anime, Gaming, Table top! You name it in the Pacific North West? And I've probably worked for them at some point )
Thank you for taking the time to read this, I hope you enjoyed my embarrassing attempt to share about myself... and that your mug is always full!
@SpainishPoppy Hello, Misty. It sounds like you feel that your views are not respected in group conversations, which causes you to be reluctant to make yourself vulnerable to others' criticism. Thank you for sharing. Feel free to message me anytime if you want to talk more. You definitely do not have to give me a gold star if you choose to do so, being able to listen to others is a reward in itself. I hope you find what you are looking for on 7 Cups.
Yeah, I get to typing and then feel like "what's the point?" I can't say anything this person doesn't already know, or worse I'm talking about something they know a lot about and then I get to be educated and made an example of. It's just not fun man.
My 2022 was supposed to be better then 2020 and 2021... I lost my left fallopian tube and was told my right one may not fuction..function... had surgery to remove a 13 cm cyst (I suffer from PCOS) and I get to deal with a childhood dream of having a family... go up in smoke... pending testing...
I hate most of my life...I have good parts but living tip to tip... temp paycheck to temp paycheck... it's just one big mess we all should feel more prepared for right? Where is my stability my parents told me existed? I have to create it, I get that but man... sometimes the energy is just not there.
I appreciate you saying something. I just join trying to remind myself I can share and chat... but I get in my head and then worry about what others think. Best impressions are hard when you don't think very highly of yourself, for sure.
@SpainishPoppy It sounds like you feel disillusioned with life because of financial uncertainty and the possibility of not being able to have a family. You seem to be struggling with low self esteem and anxiety over what other people will think of you. The best impression you can give is your genuine self, as you have been doing in these posts. Being yourself is the best you can be. Thank you for sharing.
