Struggle to react "properly"

Does anyone else struggle to react to excitement? For example, if someone shows me something they love and talk about it in a super excited tone, I struggle to sound excited back without sounding forced. Such as, if someone shows me a character they love and say "ohmygosh look at him he's so cool", I respond back awkwardly. Like ill just respond with "cool.." or something like that. It's not that I am trying to appear rude or uninterested, I just do not know how to properly react

School only has one elevator

Kinda frustrating how my school only has one elevator. They are extending the school this summer/the next upcoming years, and even through this building has been operating for decades, we've only got one elevator. This means that for kids with classes upstairs, sometimes they have to travel across the entire school to get to the elevator then travel all the way across back to get to the class on the other side of the school. We are in a rich area as well so we definitely have the funding, except they use all the money on sports and tvs for the lunch room. I am so tempted to email whoever I need to contact to see if we can get a second elevator, but I feel like itll be ignored or that ill be told I am overreacting, or they'll jusr say kids can be accommodated to leave class early to get to the elevator (which can cause issue's with school work time.)

I have Dysautonomia/POTS, as well as Long Covid and general body pain from having Lymes as a kid. A lot of the time, I end up having to use the stairs because walking across the entire school will have the same results as the elevator, anyway. I have to do it but it ends up in painful flare ups and difficulty breathing. Some people don't even get the choice of that and it makes me feel extremely frustrated for myself and others.

Thats just my personal opinion, through

Half awake or fully asleep odd dreams

Sometimes when my body is either super tired or dealing with anxiety, when I fall asleep I have odd dreams. I do not know if I am fully asleep, or if I am half awake. The dreams will be in the exact location I fell asleep in, and my eyes will be extremely heavy. Ill open them and see stuff, such as an eye between my finger, the feeling of being watched, whispers and laughs and awful anxiety. When I close my eyes in the dream, any thoughts I have i visualize and almost feel in a way, which then makes it feel as if my body is moving to get away from my sleeping area while also visualizing my thoughts. Then my eyes will open again and ill snap into place, stuck. These dreams happen to me a lot, usually when I am anxious, super tired or sleeping in a new environment

Edit - reposting with added visuals and more info!

not Sir Bounce a Lot!

as a kid, my dad would take me to this bouncy house place with was out in the county (I believe, not 100 percent sure.) I cannot remember whenever it was in Green Bay, Howard or some place around, but I remember adoring it. I am pretty sure it shut down however I am not completely sure

I remember three of the bouncy houses. One was a fire truck, and next to the fire truck was this rainbow bouncy house with a bunch of random turns, and it was a bit trippy. On the rainbow bouncy house was a water tower like structure which you had to squeeze through to get to another path.

Another bouncy house was a normal bouncy house, just a typical square one which was at the end of all the bouncy houses. I cannot remember the rest, but I know there was also one for toddlers

Near the opposite end of the place, was either a rock wall or platforms (I cannot remember) which you'd climb up to get to a upper deck which hung over all the bouncy houses. You could look down and see them all. at the end of the deck was a ladder you'd climb down, and there was two arcade games against the wall. One was a Simpsons game which you played as Bart skateboarding and I think the other was some sort of claw machine. It was NOT an arcade, just two-three arcade games

If anyone knows the name of this place, please let me know. I want to look back at pictures but my dad never posted any photos of it.

The netting structure is like those climb structures in indoor playgrounds, it also led to the upper deck

I am an 18 year old agender who goes by Rowan. My school and family know, however my family do not. I've gone by this name for almost three/four years now and I couldn't imagine changing it

My older brother and his girlfriend are having a baby this September. The official name for the baby is going to be Rowan. Would it be disrespectful of me to keep my name/come out as Rowan because of that?
