Hosting a party and now I feel bad

I feel like absolute trash.

I'm hosting a party at the lake. I was asking guests what food they would eat and if they had any restrictions. One of them is vegan. I mentioned that the salad would be vegan friendly along with a few other items.

A different guests I asked, I had mentioned that if they also happened to be vegan there would be food options for them. They went on a long rant telling me how I need to stop "othering." vegans.

For one I was going to bring the salad either way and two I'm literally the party host It's my job to accommodate my guests!

What really angers me is that I told both of these people not to bring anything and they kept insisting that they wanted to, so I gave in on letting them bring whatever they wanted.

I have deadly food allergies so I thought if I make the food for my own party that would be best. I did tell them about my food allergies but I don't trust other people to actually be careful about those things.

I get it the party is at the lake and it's sort of like a picnic but I'm just genuinely annoyed by this person now. I was just trying to be nice and mention the foods that would be safe for everyone.

I'm not close friends with either person they are just mutuals online who i invited.

I genuinely feel very anxious now and feel like maybe I should just skip the salad entirely even though I said I'd bring it.

I vented about this before but deleted it but I decided to repost it.

Struggling to complete my book.

How many books did you half finish before actually completing your first book? I have such a hard time coming up with ideas and then due to depression I lose interest.

I was working on a book for over 6 months but for the past 2 months I've just stopped and have had no motivation to complete it.

I felt like the story wasn't going where I wanted it to. It was too short and I couldn't come up with anything to get the story line going. It felt all wrong.

I'm wondering if perhaps I was just writing the wrong genre of story and need to try something else.

Not sure what I'm supposed to do.

I don't know what I want to do. I'm 22 and haven't gone to college. I want to prepare myself for college and find something that would suit me.

I'm not sure what I should go to school for. I have adhd and often feel like I'm genuinely stupid. I have a really hard time imagining myself in a career for more than a year.

I'm not the best in situations with people. I don't handle rudeness or conflict very well.

I thought about being a history teacher but I'm not the best with kids. I'm also trans and think parents would feel uncomfortable with me.

Then I thought librarian but that's competitive and hard to even find a job in.

I thought about cosmetology but I'm not confident in that one. I'm scared I'd drop out, my sister went for it and she dropped out.

I also thought about mortuary science but I'm a horribly slow learner. I enjoy science but I'm not the brightest.

I'm really unsure if there would be anything I'd be good at or would last long doing. I've only ever worked at retail stores and coffee shops.

I had a teacher in high-school say I would be good at social media management, but I've never been extremely "popular" on social media so I'm not sure I'd be good at that. I love art and creativity but I've never heard of that paying well. I'm in no way good at digital art.

I was writing a book and thought about being an author but I lacked motivation to finish it.

I feel lost and worried that if I don't find something soon I will end up on the streets.

Letting Online Comments Get To Me.

I was venting online today when someone commented how I was being entitled. It genuinely made me angry and just set me off for the rest of the day.

I wish I didn't let stupid things like that bother me. Like it's some random stranger who I've never met who is probably just projecting their own insecurities onto me. So why did I let it bother me so much to the point where I'm now questioning If I'm actually an entitled jerk, hours later?

I wish I didn't take everything others say to heart. All I was venting about was that my mental health worker canceled on me today 10 minutes before the appointment and she keeps doing this every other week to the point that I never know if she will show up. It's stressful because she's helping me with getting ready for college but things have deadlines and she ignores that.

I think I'm upset because I've been working really hard to become better as a person and get myself ready for college. So having someone call me entitled made me feel horrible because it made me feel like "Oh you haven't gotten better you're still that same depressed teenager you once were. No one likes you."

Anyone else experiencing this?

Is it just me or is anyone else just constantly having issues now?

When I first joined a few months back I believe in February this site was really good and sure there were issues but they weren't anything major that I couldn't deal with.

Now I can't even get past the first two replies without the bot going wildly out of character. Despite having commands for it to not chat as user it does anyways. Using the "simplified create" scenario option doesn't work half the time and often comes up as "error." Recently where it should say user it instead says ""color: #b5b5b5">User. The stop generating message button also just doesn't work anymore.

Not sure where to start

I'm a trans guy, on testosterone, I want to start eating healthier and exercising.

I'm completely lost on where to even start with this. I can't afford to go to a gym. So I thought maybe if I ask here I could get some help.

I'm not really sure what healthy eating looks like or what calories amount I should be eating.

I'm also unsure about what exercises I should be doing. I have amps (similar to fibromyalgia) and so it's often hard to workout when everything hurts.

I'm 5"3 almost 5"4, 22 years old, and my weight is somewhere close to 116lbs. I haven't looked in awhile because in the past I've struggled with my weight.

I wasn't sure if this should be under fitness or diet questions.​ I feel like diet is probably important.

Ep: "Yes Dude Yes"

I was rewatching the episode where CJ is first introduced. Something that has always bothered me is how CJ thought the movie night was a date.

When she first meets Mordecai he told her he didn't want to date her. He said he only wanted to be friends.

It was a jerk move for him to invite Margaret after he'd already invited CJ. That part is 100% on him. However I also think CJ shouldn't have assumed it was a date.

The Recommended Bots Aren't Good

I don't think I've gotten a single "recommended" bot that I actually wanted to use or has been remotely close to bots I've used in the past.

Half of them aren't tagged properly so I still get POVs and scenarios that I have blocked.

I also liked the lgbt+ tag so I thought I'd get lgbt+ relationship bots. Instead it's all been "turn her straight" bots.

At this point I just never use other people's bots and make my own. That or I have to specifically look up something.

It kind of just defeats the purpose of the recommended page if I'm not recommended anything remotely similar to others bots I've liked.

Probably gonna get down voted for this.

People who purposefully misinterpret others.

I've seen this in real life and constantly on the internet. People like to purposefully misinterpret what others are saying just so they have a reason to be angry at the person.

For example I could say something as simple as "I don't enjoy pickles on my burger." and someone will take that as "You hate pickles!"

It really annoys me when people do this. It's as if they really want to start an argument that wasn't needed. No one wants to listen to what others have to say.

As someone who is neurodivergent this happens sometimes when I'm speaking out loud to others.

My Friend Accidentally Triggered My ED

This isn't my friends fault, but today they mentioned that they're on a low calorie diet, and that honestly triggered my past ED.

I still struggle mentally big time with eating. It makes me want to go back to eating low calorie and diet with them.

I know they're doing it for legitimate reasons, but my brain is like "you can be skinny too If you join them!"

It's really hard because I want to hangout with my friends and eat around them when we hangout but I'm embarrassed to be seen eating. My brain is just like "You're being a pig!"

I don't really have transportation to get everywhere at the moment, but I want to make friends. I don't really have any and as an adult who's not currently in school or working I don't really have many options.

Are there any good online groups?
