It’s great that I can cast stuff from my phone, but I often lose the remote and my couch eats things. Or, sometimes, you don’t have backup batteries for when it dies. You can control it from your phone, but often you can’t turn it on from your phone.

All I’m asking is to let me have buttons for just power and volume!

I’m so sorry in advance because I know this post will be long. I know this is probably going to sound ridiculous.

I wanna preface and say my (25F) boyfriend (34M) is incredible. He has stuck around for my worst symptoms, and I really could spend myself spending my life with him.

However, my boyfriend of about 3.5 years knows me better than anyone has ever. It’s like he can read my mind, truly.

For example: occasionally, if I’m in a conversation I’m having trouble paying attention in, I usually just choose a form of “you’re right,” when they finish talking. **A**. It keeps them talking so you can get more context and **B.** I found out pretty early on that a lot of people just want to hear they’re right.

It has worked every single time for me.

But the other day, he was talking about football (I’m only a hockey girlie) and said something about the Titans sucking. I went “that’s definitely true.” He stopped me and goes “You don’t know who the Titans are. Do you even know where they play?” AND HE WAS 1000% CORRECT. 😭😭

It. Drives. Me. Crazy.

I know it shouldn’t; I know I should feel loved and cherished, but it just doesn’t feel right?

I’m wondering if subconsciously it makes me feel vulnerable, but I also wonder if some of it is that I just want to remain ‘mysterious.’ Or, maybe it’s that he’s a good communicator and I’m not used to that?

Does anyone know what’s wrong with me?? 💀

Entitlement in general is probably my number one, but holy shit does this drive me crazy.

I have a friend who changes and/or backs out of plans not only last minute, but AFTER she didn’t show up at the time SHE SUGGESTED. Even if we all have to move our schedules around to accommodate her and agree to do what she has the energy for, she’ll decide she’s too tired or something.

Now, I totally get that having kids is exhausting. But here’s the issue I have: let the group know a few hours before!!!! I don’t mind people backing out, but telling me 10 minutes before we’re supposed to meet that you don’t have the energy is just so rude!!

I tried to talk to her about it and she said I should have more sympathy and patience since she has kids. Here’s the kicker: she’s not the only person in our group with kids, and if the other parents can’t make it to something, they let us know well before the time it’s supposed to start!!

It’s at the point where I just don’t make plans with her anymore because I know she’ll change them and/or back out last minute.

Oh, but if she wants to play games with someone for 3 hours every night, that always just happens to work out 🫩

Your time is not more important than mine just because you chose to have kids; I’m sorry.

ETA - for people wondering if it's social anxiety, our group talks on the phone at least a few times a week, and we do our events online, so she doesn't have to go anywhere. She and I are close enough that she would let me know if it was that or some sort of medical thing. It's just entitlement, I fear.

I hope this doesn’t sound crazy, but sometimes if I’m really depressed, everything just kinda tastes like cardboard. Sometimes, it even makes carbonated stuff taste flat.

It’s not a new thing so it’s not like I’m sick, and it usually comes back when I start doing better. I’m hoping someone will know what I mean
