A thread for venting about difficult stuff going on in your life.
Previous vent thread:
>>2344608Follow all the /ot/ board rules & don't reply to bait.
Don't come to this thread to make fun of anons' vents, to demean them, or to try and be funny with some shit snark reply. It's annoying. If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it at all.

Someone I know is losing her fucking mind over everything all the time atm and will interrupt me multiple times a day to be like I'M FUCKIGN CRYING AND SHAKING RIGHT NOW I CNANT DO THIS. And then she explains why and it's always over the mildest inconvenience imaginable where if she just learned the most basic coping methods she would be able to chill the fuck out and be normal. I want to grab her and shake her and tell her to get a fucking grip. I have shit going on too and even if I didn't I'm not your fucking therapist!! God it is DRAINING

>>2354247Thank you, I feel in the wrong for feeling this, but I don't know what else to feel right now. It's reassuring to have my feelings assured, even if they are unpleasant.
>>2354268That's a great idea, thank you for linking me to that thread and the words.
>>2354609I was in a fit of rage, and reading it again I realized I wrote the context too vaguely, probably because the context still makes me furious and even describing it makes me feel upset. Still, I resonated with your words, it does feel like it changed me, I can't go back to seeing things the same way. I appreciate your words, I am sorry for your friend too for all that's worth, even if it's close to nothing.

i wish i could be like those social reject girls that are just fine with being lonely and introverted. i'm hyperaware of every second in which i'm not with someone else and it drives me insane, i had NEVER felt like this. why can't i just be naturally okay with my alone time? why was i cursed with this?

Have a friend whom I love dearly but I can't invite her to hangout or even express affection towards her without her going on and on about how shitty and ugly and boring and horrible of a person she supposedly is and apologizing 20000000 times for trivial things. For example we hung out yesterday nothing crazy she just came over to my house we watched some movies and she went home. Before she came over she kept stalling and apologizing for having bad movies, not bringing good enough food (I didn't even mention or ask her to bring food), distracting and bothering me (told her multiple times I wasn't busy, that I was done with all my tasks and was bored and wanted her to come over bc I invited her first). After she went home she texted me to apologize for supposedly looking ugly (she looked pretty because she is pretty), smelling bad (she actually smelled really good I just didn't say anything because I didn't want to be weird), being too quiet, not bringing good movies (I really liked the movies and told her), using my bathroom and drinking my water ?? Like, I understand that kind of behavior to an extent, I'm always anxious and regretful before and after social interaction fearing that I will be or was too weird and made the other person uncomfortable, and I also apologized to her for being quiet and tired. But what she does is really over the top and I genuinely don't understand why she acts like that. She will never take compliments or me telling her that she's not ugly didn't smell etc etc. I guess it's some sort of attention seeking behavior but she also hates attention and is fairly reclusive. Like I said, I love her but this is getting a little bit exhausting and I don't know what to keep telling her, she always denies it when I tell her that I think she's pretty and interesting, constantly accusing me of lying or something similar. I wish I understood better whatwas going on in her brain besides extreme self-loathing. Sorry this is kind of nonsensical and too specific but I need to talk about it somewhere and she's one of my only friends and I can't exactly talk about it with her lol.

I am 28F. I have been single for the last 3 years. It has been really hard to cope the last little while due to not receiving likes, not many conversations or consistent ghosting by men.
If they do talk to me usually it is to just go to hotel or FWB or ONS ect. After being abused by my ex of 2.5 years,trauma( sexual, physical and mental) and having weird encounters with my ex it feels like I am spiraling.
My docter told me to start taking prozac again and I have a fear of men which is manifesting itself through my dreams due to insomnia.

>>2356690Are you drunk or just new? Just to let you know don't have to fill out the fields to post. I agree with the other anon, you gotta get out of
victim mode and go into the mindset of being a survivor. If you want a relationship you can't hope to find a good one in this kind of state. Shitty moids can tell when women are easy to take advantage of. You need to allow yourself to demand more from men. Even if you're down on yourself we all deserve to have the best. Also there's a thread on /g/ for break up and moving on advice specifically, you might find others who are in a similar situation.

>>2356344I've been there. I'll answer the first time but the second time I see the notification preview I ghost for hours until I think she's calmed down. You can't react immediately or that activates their attention dopamine so they'll keep doing it.

How do you avoid falling into bad habits under severe stress? there is nothing that bring me happiness right now, i wake up and scream and punch the pillow to get rid of the pain and stress of waking up and having to exist. I feel like utter shit and this coping mechanism i developed is pretty unhealthy.
No. 2356828
>>2356708Most of what you're saying is probably true. I am pretty reserved and quiet most of the time so that's probably it, but I'm never actually judging her unless she's doing her whole "I'm so horrible" thing. Even then I'm only a little judgy, mostly I feel bad for her. And yeah I've tried to talk about it in depth a couple of times but she just tells me that she doesn't really know why she acts like this and says she tends to get paranoid, and she has anxiety and is very self-loathing. Again, I completely understand these feelings, but it's so much lately that I can't help but feel like she has some other motives behind it like trying to push me out of her life or something? Idk, I'll try to talk about it again with her but it never really goes anywhere.
>>2356802I'm really sorry that happened to you, nona. Her being abused wouldn't exactly line up with what she's told me but she could be not telling the truth. The only thing about letting her know that it makes me uncomfortable is I feel it'll give her more of an excuse to reiterate how unlovable and horrible she is and how it's "proof" that I shouldn't be her friend because she just "makes me suffer". I'd have already said that if I wasn't worried about the backlash, but hopefully I can soon. Thank you both though

>>2356818You have to try and find something else that's similar but different.
For example, I tend to scratch and pick the skin of my hands, so now they're all fucked with lots of spots, but I noticed that I stop when I have things like pic related, it just play with the ring and move it between my fingers and I changed a bracelet like pic related by adding a bead that slides around so I don't scratch or pick the skin of my wrists.
Maybe you could try some sport that will let you punch of stuff, you don't even need to actually punch something, just punch the air to the rhythm of a song.

Just get a life outside that will make it impossible for you to post anything anywhere, that's what I do, I just come back here from time to time whenever I feel like checking on some cows and threads, so I don't really feel like this place controls me the way you feel it controls your life.

I stopped infighting on Lolcow when I added someone off the friend finder thread, got invited to her personal server in which she and her rat-physiognomy "daddy" streamed themselves doing drugs and having sex. Even worse, a bunch of the "daddy's" friends were in the server posting cum tributes to her, and at some point down the line they posted the server on degen 4chan boards to get more men jacking off to her. It made me anti-sex for life. Also, I have never seen a biological female that looks more like a tranny. The biggest kicker of all is that she still self-id'ed as a "misandrist".
Please understand the site's been invaded by degenerate, unironic weed-addled dd/lgfags.

A quote I've heard regarding men: "Even when they have nothing else, they will still have the audacity."
I work bedside in an allied healthcare field. Throughout my job and school clinical placements, I have repeatedly seen this quote illustrated.
Most of the patients on any given hospital floor are seniors. Most of them are cool and no problem to work with. For some reason, though, it's always the males who are 60+, obese, repulsive, and (literally) rotten who seem to think that they are irresistible to the young female staff. I'm talking boomers with necrotic toes who have have rectal tubes placed due to incessant anal leakage. They will often fixate on their "favorite" female staff members and try as hard as they can to convince those women to date them after they get discharged. I got asked out by an old-ass man who looks like a disheveled Santa Claus. He forces his nurse to wipe his ass even though he can do it himself. I declined. He started lamenting that none of the girls he asked out in the hospital will go out with him. lmao.
I want to be clear, by the way, that none of the men I'm talking about are cognitively altered. They all get cognitively assessed on a regular basis, and if they have any level of impairment from dementia/stroke/disability/psychosis/injury/etc., their charts get tagged very clearly. These guys aren't mentally impaired, they're just like this.

>>2357246No warning signs of any of this prior, and even after it became blatant you continued to watch their server in spite of it being so degen?
This is why I don't understand nonnas like you who milk camgirl lolcows and other gross degens. Content that doesn't interest me, I don't watch including porn. You inherently invite degens and moids to this website when you consume and post about their content-yes, even ironically-because porn consumers are inherently their audience and who is monitoring these accounts whether you deny it or not.
