    I wish I could help a friend but I can’t due to being blocked from the place it’s happening at. :(

    So Wrong Planet? I hate that site too, if that's the one you're talking about. I used to be on there & to be honest it was a bit ridiculous.

    I am indeed talking about that site. I wish it was purged from the web.

    Did the pandemic cut off any chance for me to ever be in a romantic relationship?

    No, but I'd wager if anything cuts off your chances, it's being publicly sad and desperate. We have to...no, you have to get the lies you're telling yourself, out of your head.

    I think you're quite interesting, and I see no reason someone wouldn't like you, but try improving your odds by presenting a more confident version of yourself and trying to go meet people. Bet it'll help

    No...the only one doing that is you. You can change that...if I can, you can. :)

    My debit card and other things got pickpocketed and l kept it together and canceled card without going into a complete meltdown. This is good, this shows progress.
    Aspychata
    Aspychata
    But it's a little tough. Because we are a high end tourist area, these pickpockets are high end too. Omg. Personal shoutout to all the great forum members for helping me stay grounded. I could cry at how supportive you all are. :)

    That's so annoying, they should be put over a knee and spanked vigorously with a birch branch. Stealing and waisting peoples time like that.

    They should have their thieving hands severed, like in medieval times before things like human rights were a thing. Ok, maybe that is too dramatic.

    I fear I may have gotten dropped from college even though the course I take doesn’t start until March.

    That's understandable. Just call or stop by and confirm if you are worried. It's okay to check up. As a paralegal, all l did was check and recheck things, seriously.

    And it shows that you are really liking the mental stimulation, good for you. You are challenging yourself, and l think you like this. What's not to love? You aren't letting YOUR mother dictate the terms of your life anymore. Lighting virtual firecrackers for you. And l just let go of the breath l was holding. Because you have walked thru another door of maturity. Very impressed.

    Many universities don't load the online course module content until the first day of the class.

    If you're registered in the registration portal, you're likely good to go, but as others noted, if you're concerned, feel free to check with the registrar and/or IT if that would bring you comfort.

    Why do even the people who don’t want me to have a relationship don’t want me to kill myself?
    L
    Luca
    No one should want anyone to kill themselves. That’s a horrible thing to say to someone and I’m glad no one has said that to you.

    These people don't deserve you. Throw meatballs at them. Okay, just don't listen to your detractors. I have tons of detractors. Apparently our lives are more important then their lives.
    Markness
    I always get pushed to the wayside.
    L
    Luca
    I feel like this a lot irl too, and sometimes even on here I worry that I'm becoming obsolete or something because I feel that I'm sometimes not helpful.
    I don't push you to the wayside. I always enjoy our conversations and I will always try to get back to you in a timely manner.
    Metalhead
    Metalhead
    Yeah, you are somebody I wished lived closer to me. Just think of all the metal we could consume together. I could introduce you to my local metalhead friends, as well.

    Metalheads are some of the best people tbh

    My brother in metal, have you heard anything worth listening to over the last couple of months?

    I recently discovered the band Tombs. I like what I’ve heard from them so far.

    A little kid screamed so loud at the library it hurt my ears and has affected my auditory processing.

    @Owliet The mother actually disciplined that kid as well as his brother. She just had a hard time catching them both.

    @tree I think so. My ears felt stuffy and couldn’t pick up on what some people were saying at first.

    Sounds astonishing.
    What age was this kid?
    Markness

    @tree Maybe two or three years old.

    I wish I could prove my detractors wrong about me.

    If you ignore them, then they have no power over you. But l understand, it takes awhile to get that concept. I too, have had to learn not to react to what the trolls say and do to me because l am not like them.

    This is said out of kindness, not criticism. We don't need criticism, we just need to think differently and overcome our obstacles the best we can. :)

    Since you mention wishing, I wish you could leave the idea of
    *proving people wrong* behind. Focusing on what you believe
    others think of you doesn't seem to be having any good effect.

    I keep forgetting that I have metabolic syndrome.

    My blood pressure tends to be high so my blood sugar probably is, too. I do indeed take a statin daily.

    What foods are unrefined?
    tree
    tree
    An apple is "unrefined." Apple juice, on the other hand, lacks the fiber of a whole apple. And can send your blood sugar up,
    then to crash down. This is one example of an 'unrefined' vs 'refined' food.

    Things that are low glycemic, that help with my blood sugar. Yellow corn is good. Any legume, eg. beans, have carbs bound to the protein, so it is released slowly. For my hash browns, I use Idaho Spuds (COSTCO). They are freeze dried shredded potato and for whatever reason it does not raise my blood sugar much. Sushi rice, especially aged between making it and using it works well.

    Why do some people here still don’t want me to be in a loving relationship?

    You cant win while you do that. It's like trying to walk down a path but every 2 steps you stop to try to stomp on your own feet, and then wonder why you end up falling into a ditch. A real attempt doesnt include that part. So, stop doing that part. JUST do the good steps. Without the stomping.

    Also why in the world are you getting so bothered by something that happened last March? It's freaking January of the following year now.

    I think a lot of the people that you were upset with in March are also no longer here @Markness

    I think I’ll go watch M3GAN at the cinema, even if I have to go alone.

    It looks like someone neglected to upload the "Three Laws..."
    (She reminds me of the Olsen twins.)

    That was something I wondered about before watching.

    I didn’t have to pay for my ticket because an old friend happened to be working at the cinema.

    You could try writing them down.

    I found recurring themes in my dreams, from writing them out.
    Stuff that was on my conscious mind turned into visual displays while
    I was sleeping.

    The thought of suicide keeps reverberating in my brain.

    "Ah, I think she meant that a different way but it came out wrong? Whatever the case is, just try to breathe. I know things are hard for you, and I want you to know UberScout's going through a lot, too. It might last awhile, but it stops at some point. The good news is you can help that along, and it's not hard, I promise.

    Besides, I think you'll feel better after a nap."

    Markness. I understand your existential loneliness, having gone through that. I hope you will like yourself and be confident in who you are and start giving nice women a choice of partners. Of course, you need to assess what you can bring to a relationship and work on that, too. It is never too late for you, but that will happen if you delay working on your positives

    You asked me why I said you want to be a murderer.

    Has it escaped your notice that "suicide" involves killing a person?
