[l] I 26M was invited to a high school reunion event where my bully who assaulted me would be and I'm triggered

So basically I got invited to a high school reunion with some old friends, the catch is my old high school bully is a mutual and was invited as well. This person sucker punched me, broke my nose, knocked me out cold and took a video and sent it around. I never properly healed or processed that whole thing it was very traumatic and so I'm really triggered lately. I just need some kindness and understanding, I have nobody to confide in about this and it's eating me up. What happened to me was horrible and unfair, and I am not weak because of it.

I won't be attending obviously and I told one of our mutuals why and they were understanding, I'm just really struggling because the invitation brought back to that dark place and lately I've been super anxious and back and forth between fight or flight amongst other bad feelings...I don't really have anyone to talk to about this.

My Continous Friday Night Conflict 🔁

It's a constant battle between ⬇️

A) Should I force myself out of the house so I am not wasting away my social potential and stuck in solitude as I frequently dread being alone....

B) Should I just stay at home and not bother because I don't even have anyone to go out with and seeing everyone else in their groups will just make me feel even more like shit and I might not be able to enjoy the moment....although I have enjoyed myself going out alone on rare occasion.

I just hate being alone af, but I also hate the tremendous effort and resources it takes to find community and a social life in your 20's...does anyone know how I feel? 💔

Can you guys put me on?

So TheWeeknd was always one of those artists where I only liked a few songs since it had a specific sound that I enjoyed but couldn't ever get into most his catalogue, I was hoping you guys can change my mind and listen ec some songs that have the same vibes as some of my favs - Acquaintance, Niagara Falls, Call Out My Name

Would appreciate it 🙏

GUYS I got 2 compliments today at the gym like what

I NEVER thought I would be someone people would like at and admire or want to look like, so it's just kind of a mind fuck. Like I guess all the hard work is paying off and it feels good 😎🔥 embracing this version of myself heavy

Washington State - Landlord is illegally recording tenants, what can I do about this?

So my control freak landlord decided to set up a camera in the kitchen area inside the home to spy on tenants and micromanage everyone. Obviously this feels super invasive and after some research I found out what he's doing is illegal in Washington state since nobody has consented to being filmed with audio and video. Washington is a two party consent state for being recorded in private areas. I'm going to ask him to take it down asap tomorrow, but if he refuses I just want to know how to take things to the next level if I need to? Can I just straight up file a police report? What's the best course of action? I have everything documented.

Also there is no surveillance clause within the lease.

Music is everything to me

It fills my void and helps me feel less hollow. It helps me when I'm lonely or in a bad mood, i love it so much it's the main thing I have connected with people over. Sometimes I'll find a new song I really fw and just replay it over and over and over.
