too many miserable people on this platform

TL;DR: a lot of ppl on here are just unnecessarily miserable. they will misconstrue what youre saying, get angry about the false claim that they made up, and then everyone just runs with it. are they doing that on purpose just to be mad? when you correct them w “i never said that anywhere in my post” DOWNVOTED. why tf are you so angry? ive only started posting this year so im just weirded out rn.
——————-
i literally just posted about dealing with rude third party customer service workers for locksmith businesses and omg😭 everyone was mad that i was just making jokes and calling me “insufferable” because of course a customer service agent saying “ummm you can hang up now we have have other things to do you know” is somehow on me. i cant stand the way ppl will downvote fucking anythinggg. some comments were very helpful and i replied “oh thank you so much i didnt know this” ….DOWNVOTED 😭.

i said that one of the ppl i called said “okay you know you need ID? is that even your name? you know we’ll confirm when we get there? we arent helping anyoen that doesnt match the info. you better match the information youve given. having us come out and thats not your name is not okay” all while im actively just agreeing and saying yes okay i understand, yes yes no problem, i completely understand. is that not a weird ass customer service interaction? then they were like “so youre mad that a locksmith wants your id” “and the fact that they ran to reddit says it all” and i was like “i never said that and i am completely fine with giving identification (i expected that) but not the unwarranted rudeness when im being shirley temple sweet lmao” DOWNVOTED.

then replies “grow tf up” “if i were on the call and you talked how you typed on the post i would be so rude to you” wtff😭 and why would i talk how i write a reddit post???😭😭😭why is everyone miserableeee on here?? i stg they purposely misunderstand what youre saying just to have a reason to comment something angry lmaooo and i made it explicitly clear that ive never experienced that with any other service workers bc i try to be extra nice and easy to deal with so i was shocked by the unwarranted behavior. comments “sounds like you dont like being called out for your behavior” what are u even talking about rn😭😭 i replied “no lol i just didnt say that” DOWNVOTED

lmaooo like its crazy how that all came from someone just misconstruing what i said and refusing to acknowledge any of my corrections. why do they just run with it no matter how many times u correct them and when you correct them DOWNVOTED😭😭😭😭. this app is actually crazy lmao the audacity to double down on something false is diabolical. and i literally cant stop laughing bc you know theyre typing with so much rage and im literally like “im taking the L lol im more mad at myself than anything else” “glueing my keys to my hand” DOWNVOTED DOWNVOTED DOWNVOTED😭

day 3 of t-break and its not as bad as i thought

POSTING TO HOLD MYSELF ACCOUNTABLE
(long diary/journal to fellow stoners -ew omg but i cant reject the title at this point)

hoping to do maybe 2 weeks idk, im ngl ive smoked every single day for ~ 2 years now and its kinda scared me. i cant wait to update like hey 1 week! honestly i hope i can go a little longer once i get to that point so maybe a monthish. its my 23rd in 28 days and i would love to hold off until then and have a lovely j. im not planning on celebrating bc 22 sucked butt so that j will be nice.

Context:

i only started smoking when i got to college and i quickly realized that i love weed 🤤. it was a nice way to get together with friends and chill together.

went home to a super depressing, shitty environment. and ive just been in this situation over and over again even when i change where im actually laying my head :/.then it honestly turned into me smoking everyday and wanting to be high all of the time.

i was unmedicated for a while so it made the need for it much worse. more recently, i was smoking as soon as i got up in the morning, right before i get my coffee :/. i kinda loved the weird feel of caffeine and weed bc my mind is calm but i have energy (mostly from sugar bc i have adhd). then i have a dispo for quick hits outside :/. SN: i workout 3-4 times a week (pilates, basic calisthenics) and i have trouble gaining weight unless im stationary for long periods of time and even then its only 8-10 lbs :/. im not frail or super skinny but i have a very toned, narrow build so idk!

then of course ending my day with a j before bed (smoking the whole thing 🫣). i want to take a break for a bit and maybe transition to only smoking when i go out so that i drink less. i also no longer share anything (drinks or js) because im super paranoid about sicknesses now. so im used to declining others js now.

i unknowingly began weaning myself the days leading up to this (still hitting dispo occasionally 3/4 times). i was taking 4-5 hits and putting it out and a little scrap of a j lasted multiple nights.

day 1 was kind of an accident. i was so enthralled with friend drama that time flew by until it was 11 ish and i hadnt smoked once. i had to really reason with myself “hey youre already tired, maybe just go to sleep” and made the conscious choice to start my journey then bc-hey? i got one day down😌.

day 2 also wasnt that hard and there was a j sitting on my desk all day.

day 3, i had the weirdest most stressful dream and i thought i was going to wake up and it be mornign but i only slept for 2 hours😭(i went back to sleep). i have now removed and emptied my ash tray (out of sight,out of mind).

i really hope that i can keep this up, there are so many things stressing me out, but this cant be the ONLY way that i can calm down. i want to reiterate that im posting these to try to hold myself accountable.

can you be too self critical to be an artist?

PICTURED: a senior project —prompt:
“capture the essence of life and pain” (so unbelievably vague lmao) —teacher had us pull from sketches we had already seen…lwk red flag now that im thinking about it.

SECOND QUESTION: are there universal basics for drawing or does each artist have their own? if so, what are they/yours?

hi! i recently took a big leap outside of my comfort zone and started taking an art classes. i was trying youtube videos but i cant get out of my head. first day right off the bat we were told “visualizing is more important than execution” … red flags what?

then our teacher asked everyone to draw “their impression of a body”. some people had the 2nd grade side bang, one eye, south park feet/mouth, and the broccoli tree, while others had drawn a kind of bathroom sign. teacher then goes on to explain how we’ll each “build on these bases” and tells us to shade how we think we should?? just tell me what to do I BEG.

at this point, i havent drawn anything because wtf. am i too critical of myself to be an artist?? i dont even want to call myself that i just want to draw and actually like what ive drawn, but i can’t if its not good. i notice my lack of depth and issues with proportions and neither have been addressed since highschool lol.

i was fortunate enough to take beginning, intermediate, and advanced drawing/ceramics/sculpture in highschool.

no matter how much i progressed in class difficulty level, i did not feel i was learning or getting better. my teachers were always helping the people who couldnt draw cubes (dead serious ppl were struggling)and would praise anything i did.

after looking back at old projects and journals, i decided to join this adult art class. i thought i could tap into something that i had forgotten, since so many of my teachers claimed i had potential.

why does this feel like an exclusive/non-exclusive club where only members have a badge but anyone can become a member. everyone artist ive met claims the title with so much confidence, its deeply inspiring. how to have confidence in work that you know isnt good?

sorry about the rant :( im sad. i have ideas and i cant execute any of them.

people are so much nicer to cigarette smokers

EDIT 3: yall really did the “so bc you like pancakes you hate waffles”
I NEVER SAID I ONLY SMOKE INDOORS
EDIT 2: never said i smoke around people who dont like it (literally said weed smokers are more mindful about who they smoke around) AND smoking indoors does not mean hotboxing your place. i wonder what the average age of this sub is…

just in another thread and the blatantly ignorant comments that were made WOW. everyone was so mean saying weed is disgustingly trashy and its gross to smoke indoors.

i have NEVER met a singular person who smokes (nic or weed) who doesnt smoke indoors. ive lived in california and ny with people from all over, EVERYONE smokes indoors.

idk i just feel like people on reddit are so mean about it when i feel like weed smokers are the only ones who are mindful about where they light up. i see ppl open a pack on their break outside of a playground, they dont care.

EDIT: i feel like im in an alternate reality i have never heard any of this at all? im so confused? i know ppl of all ages from everywhere that smoke indoors??

redditors are rly mean its funny

first month of actually using this app and im trying to troll a bit but yall r INSANE. i love this app for the freedom of discussion and getting to build community, but ive noticed its 10x more hostile than any other platform. youd think that the ability to downvote would change that but idk. twt its straight to racism or misogyny from bots or bot-like ppl. ig is just forward with opinion. tiktok is lala land with a hint of bullying. this app tho???? yall genuinely like to jump down ppls throats with info its so funny😭 a person could preface their post with “idk what im talking about im just asking the crowd” and everyone will downvote and be like “WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU????”. in a cartoon show thread i commented about liking the something about a character and OH MY GOSH 😭 ive commented asking questions about a situation and literally got DOWNVOTED and SHAMED😭😭😭lol karmas going up though and im new here but i think thats good

HELP Not receiving items + Big brown blob

sooo i have contacted the support team several times through the annoying form and waited weeks for a response. i have been purchasing items from the trunk shop and workshop on wheels that are NOT showing up. and with literally no record of it. i just bought a small white cat lamp for 600 gems and its nowhere to be seen. i reloaded the page and my trunk shop reloaded like it was never and option. this has been an ongoing issue and thats not to mention the weird brown and black blob over my entire screen every 30 seconds. again, i have contacted several times about this and the solution they give is always some log out and reload BS. its incredibly frustrating and discouraging. THEN with how it takes literally entire alphabets and more to upgrade facilities i cant do this. i dont even have a grilling cat and every cat i receive is for an ingredient that it will probably take me months to get atp. ill accept tips on anything tbh.

do yall know this is a tv show???

EDIT: love how everyone took this as”i dont like any discussion posts” yeah i struck a nerve huh but theyre proving my point in the comments LMAO

every GG post is an analysis of all of the stuff that make the show what it is (reckless, shitty bs) like thats not the point of the show. why are we acting like these are real people and reality tv😭 the way yall talk about CHRACTERS as though theyre complex individuals and not typecasted😭 theyre pretty surface level and if you know anytging about that environment, nothing they did was surprising. theyre a very predictable group and you would expect them to do what they do.

every post is chuck and blair YES WE GET IT but what would the show be without them? NOTHING. its a teen drama and yall act like its an afterschool special😭. cant say anything about any character unless youre talking about all of the flaws of every character and wtf. Q: “whats your controversial opinion” A: “i hate blair and chuck” thats great do you understand how plot works? no other tv show group is like this😭 PLL fandom gets it…all flawed bc its a SHOW😭

vanessa is the worse person ever

i genuinely cant stand her from the beginning. there is no amount of redeeming she could do, she came in and immediately started fucking with EVERYONES lives. if she hadnt been nosy and reckless, jenny never wouldve gone to the ball, and nate wouldnt have confessed anything to anyons. not saying that was going to end well regardless but shes such a weird selfish pick-me. why are you in everyones buisness and literally in the worst ways possible, then she just continues her BS for her entire time on the show. i actually cant get over such a disruptive unnecessary character😭

EDIT: geez no longer allowed to exaggerate about a tv show 😭 shes not worse than chuck or blair, i just think the fact that shes so unnecessary makes everything she does annoying. im expressing annoyance to ONE OF THE characters i have always disliked. she was also one of the only characters or color and they made her Ms. Messy. not fun to watch growing up when she was supposed to be more relatable too. (not fixing typos i was heated)

every night im scared that im going to pass in my sleep.

the only thing that makes me tired enough to sleep is when i inevitably end up crying from how scared i am to go to sleep. i think the anxiety is causing me to wake up every 2-3 hours. im not really sure whats going on anymore.

every time i get into an argument with one of my parents, my brain convinces me they’re going to pass soon?

its getting to the point where i constantly feel guilty for defending myself or expressing how i feel. more recently its with my dad. whenever he storms out, i convince myself that THIS is going to be the moment i get a call.

i spend those nights spiraling about how im going to live the rest of my life in shame and regret. its not fair, i should be allowed to feel upset without this weird thought process happening. its gotten to the point where i have to just stay awake the whole night, constantly checking that isn’t the case.

my family is large and my parents are older so i dont know i guess im always scared of that. but the idea that it would happen after a spat or something eats me up inside.

i try to minimize these situations as much as possible. unfortunately, theres always an instance where i need to defend myself or how i feel.

how to be content with oneself?

hi! i have been dealing with this for a while now and i think its progressing. i am constantly searching for validation and stimulation from outside sources. i find myself going on dates, doomscrolling, and wallowing in my own self pity every day. i work out 3-5x a week and i have the Opal app, but i still find myself wanting to reach out and talk to someone. anytime something goes wrong i want to call of text someone. im getting tired my behavior and i also cant seem to stop. (SN: woah im literally doing it right now :) i would like to be so confident in myself and my decisions that whatever i tell my circle is just for a mild second opinion and not confirmation that im allowed to feel what im feeling. i would like to get to a point where i stop constantly checking for a text back or any other kind of notifications and only respond when i feel necessary. i give everyone else the time of day but i cant seem to show myself even a bit of compassion. this is party a mental health issue but i cant with the DBT and mindfulness stuff that doesn’t work if the little voice tells you its BS. is there a more practical approach that i can start with? i desperately want to love myself, i love my shell but my mind is another story.

losing friends over this !!!

hi so i am in week 1 of my first ever cold sore. my issue right now is if i need to drop this “friend” of mine. shes currently accusing me of knowingly risking infecting others because i shared a dab pen with her and she now has it. CONTEXT: (i did my research on triggers) it was at the peak/end of my period, i was in the sun the whole day, and ive had a very stressful few months. i guess im a more rare case where it happened in a few hours. we hung out during those hours. i didnt have any tingling or anything until i was home and washed my face. i called my mom and she informed me that i mustve gotten it from her or my grandma as a baby and it just stayed in my system until i had a flare up. (note: i have not been sexually active with anyone with hsv1) i explained that to her thoroughly and instead she doubled down on “i dont understand how you wouldnt have known it was in your system then if you lived with them” . i am the youngest in a large family, they informed me that i was a baby the last time anyone in our family had one. I have several other older siblings who have never experienced it so why would i assume i have it. NO ONE TOLD ME ANYTHING. shes sitting here saying that im a shitty, reckless person for sharing drinks and going out with her because weve known eachother for years. mind you, she shares with everyone. im just so confused how she can double down accusing me of something like that and then claim shes the victim. my best friend has chronic mono and is going through none of this even though its very similar situation, and what about covid or literally any other thing. she said she “cant move past this like its nothing”?? move past what?? i just explained that i didnt know and for a friend to even think that??? im asking should i stop being friends with her because i know im impulsive (bpd) but i genuinely cant stand that shes still upset over something so invalid.

exercise isn’t helping

i have been working out at home consistently (4-5x a week) for about 4 months now. i have yet to observe a positive impact on my mental health. each day i feel my mental state declining even more from constant stress, anxiety, and depression. it feels like im being attacked from all sides and systems. idk what to do anymore. i am genuinely so exhausted with my life. i feel like the biggest disappointment to my younger self. every day i think about not existing but im also scared to d*e. i will say each day is harder than the last and it feels like my anxiety surrounding that fear is dwindling. i cry every day multiple times a day and i cant sleep through the night (i have never been able to sleep 8 hrs).
