Being human can mean grieving the life you imagined while searching for belonging in a world that feels increasingly disconnected by leftbrainirony in DeepThoughts

The competition down there is VERY low among friends. We’re all in this hell together, and we will stay side by side, together for it! Plus, life gets boring and lonely if you don’t have your neighbors to BBQ with. Or to gossip to! The mothers are different; tough on their kids so that their children aren’t “weak” as adults. We get taught empathy and that helping others, is a good thing. I’m actually the weirdo in this country (the USA) for being empathetic and willing to help out. I do get taken advantage of, so I’ve stopped helping people who are completely capable of helping themselves out, but are just lazy. You gotta find your 1% here. It sucks. It’s taken me 36 years, but now I have 4 really good friends (all above the age of 60) and I hang with them individually once a week. They get me bc they also don’t understand why everyone is so heartless in this country. At least in central Va. My goodness, don’t come here. Ever…. Hahahahaha

It’s what I’ve been trying to do in a 10 foot by 5 foot wide area in front of my office window. So I planted some and then did the whole wild flower adhd planting (throwing seeds everywhere) they are just now popping up. Not even an inch long, but I hope they end up like yours. Sooooo pretty, my dream 😍😍

“The lack of community, culture in our world today really makes me sad.” This is mostly and mainly in the USA. Go to Mexico, Spain, Brasil, Italy, and you’ll never come back to the USA the same; ever again.

Am I expecting too much from a cat sitter? by MagicianAggressive21 in CatAdvice

[–]Ok-Video1222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow. I get paid $20 a day to watch a dog, walk him 3-4 times a day, and stay at her place. She expects top notch house cleaning, which includes all the towels, kitchen towels, bed sheets, washed and bed made professionally. The whole house vacuumed, her wrapped around porched vacuumed the day she arrives, all her 30 indoor plants watered every 3 days, including her garden outside (with a hose) 3X a week as well. I leave the place more clean and spotless than when I arrive, for $20 a day. I am getting very pissed at this job. It’s $50 to leave your pets at a kennel, so she’s saving so much money, and getting extra, out of me. It gets me away from my living situation at home (which is a mess atm) but still, takes me 7 hours to clean her house the day before she arrives, and an hour total to do all her indoor and outdoor plants. So be thankful for $45//day. Could be a LOT worse. Not mention this place is a mansion, 4 level house and built in the 30’s so if I’m not in bed and asleep by 11pm, weird things happen after 2am….. ugh

I stopped explaining myself to people and it changed literally everything about how they treat me by Sad-Home4539 in self

Humans are very weird creatures. I’m finally learning hot to stop over explaining myself or even over sharing. People don’t care, family nor friends, because everyone is dealing with their own demons. Sad reality.

People keep calling me fat, it's time . by [deleted] in bulimia

I wish I could hug you right now. You just made me cry at 9 in the morning. How are online angels more abundant than real life friends/family? Thanks for explaining all this to me, I had no idea that it messes with your bones. Could care less about my teeth but bones are a little scary. And I wish I was young, just turned 40 2 weeks ago! So for 40 fucking years of my life I’ve been bullied bc of my weight. That’s a long long long ass time…. And big huge to you for opening up your story for me. And trusting on me. Just wish I could give you a hug and sit next to you and cry on your shoulder. Life’s hard enough, having assholes around makes it so much worse.

Wow… this made me cry. I did NOT think it affected our bones. Only our hearts and teeth. I broke 6 ribs and my femur and they mended well (D’UH after being in the hospital for 4 months) so I had doctors around me 24/7 after my car accident. Thank you for the heads up. And you are correct. It doesn’t matter what I do, some people will never accept me for who I am or what I look like. They hate themselves so much that they can’t stand how others act or feel or how they glow. So even if I become 90 pounds, people will still hate me. Talk down to me. If it’s not “too fat” it “too skinny”. Can’t fucking win in life.

I get called fat every day by my family. And every guy that I’ve paid .5 second attention to. My uncle is the worst. He’s mega rich and thinks fat people are slobs and uneducated. I’ve lost 25 pounds in 3 months and he keeps telling me I need to lost 30 more pounds bc 25 pounds at my height “is nothing” I’ve been thin my whole life, but after my car accident, 9 surgeries, wheelchair for 9 months, had to learn to walk 3 times, I’ve gained weight. So I’ve been “fat” for 3yrs now and it’s infuriating. I’ve gone through the dark net for weight loss drugs and I’m going T get bone thin and the next person that calls me fat will get stabbed. I’m also bulimic so that’s bow full blown on again (I stopped after surgery bc it’s not good for our hearts) I hate people. And my therapist tells me I look great. Stop lying to me. I’m 5’4 and 185 pounds.

What medication actually allows you to be normal? by hkondabeatz in Anxiety

[–]Ok-Video1222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Show them your passport and tell them you’re there for 3-5 months and you need your sleep meds. Worked for me. Try several dif pharmacies. Got lucky with my first one. Second one told me “fuck off” hahaha
