So like what
Just everything is going on and I'm over here like
What

I get you, friend.
What is going on. Just what.

@bubblegum

For instance:
-I'm dating a wonderful and amazing girl named Mia but my anxiety and doubt is making me second-guess the entire thing despite constant reassurements from her. I also feel like I'm being annoying.
-It's finals week…I have a social studies project where we design a country, for one. One member of my group is making the others annoyed and they're not exactly filtering themselves and I don't know how to tell them kindly to stop. I also have a physics final and science and a paper roller coaster project…this one sexist guy in my group won't. shut. up. And I have a math final which I lost my textbook to study for.
-I hate and fear my parents with the hate and fear of a thousand cosmoses. They are always either screaming at me or ignoring me and there's no in between. I don't exactly enjoy it.
-I feel like I'm eating too much junk and basically not feeling acceptable enough. Like, I don't get cold easily so I wore overalls today (it was kinda cold) and when we had a fire drill outside a lot of people were talking about me and how I should also shave my legs and I'm like stooooooooooooooooooop
-I have, like, zero food for lunch. My dad barely puts anything in and I don't have school lunch money to buy anything else, so I basically rely on my friends for food or snacks throughout the school day.
-I basically feel like I'm letting everyone down
-I have this constant, constant urge to do everything - like, have experience in everything. I want to do search-and-rescue while also being a theatre performer, I want to be a paramedic who also costume designs and songwrites, I want to be a teacher who does Indy racing.

Despite all this, I'm getting along just fine, actually.

You're a freaking superhero

I feel you Loops.. maybe not in all the same ways, but I get the pressure in so many different ways..

@bubblegum

Thank you honestly
I don't really feel that special at school or at home because you know, no one tells me that ever, except Mia, she tells me I'm amazing a lot but I don't really feel like one so thank you

@bubblegum

I have thalassaphobia lol but thanks for the metaphor relsey!

group

Omg. Me too

@bubblegum

wait seriously oh my god

group

The only time I get in water is when it's clear or I can touch the bottom easily

@Relsey-TheElder

I mean you could be doing fly in a very shallow small pool… is that how thalassaphobia works, sorry I'm not trying to be insensitive just trying to be informed

@bubblegum

no it's a fear of deep water, so basically if it could potentially cover my face or a majority of my body I say no. it also just makes me anxious whenever i'm near even tiny bodies of water like pools

@bubblegum

which is also why I'm a little anxious to go to my friend's end of year party which has a pool, she keeps saying she'll push me in or something but mia's going so it'll probably be fine

group

Yeah, anything above the chest is a no-no

@Relsey-TheElder

@Relsey-TheElder

In that case….. NEW METAPHOR….
You know some times in life you hit really big walls with perfectly smooth surface and some times you just have to pick up a sharp pointy object like sarcasm and climb to the top of the wall using nothing but the sharpness of your wit… And I'd say you're excelling
