@so_very_tired We can talk about stuff together like fuck bro, everyone's just with their ladies and I'm here scared to talk to even say hi to women. I did a course last year and got told off for trying to hit on a volunteer on a trip we did as part of the course, I wanted to mention that on chat but I got a lot on. On a positive note I'm motivated to get some money together for a car, maybe go preformance and yh save too but you only live once nows the time to get something preformance where I don't have my own family and I'd need something spacious and more sensible but yh you aren't doing bad mate, hopefully you get a paid role at Asda, I don't see why not like you've worked for free for ages like why not just hire you then you could get your provisional, get some money for lessons , get like a first car and build up driving experience then get a nicish car if thats what you want. We'd both find women too at the right time, I feel like this is the right time for me tbh, I'll find someone though and you will too.
Hey @ivy07, that sounds like such an intense experience on the bus, it makes sense after your previous experiences to have had difficult emotions and some anxiety in that situation, It must have been so scary when he went to the back of the bus and threw something, no one deserves to experience that on public transport. It's good to hear that you made it home and felt safe when you got back. I'm curious, how did you manage to control your anxiety in the situation and after you got home?
That sounds like a lovely dream to have been having, but must have been so upsetting when you couldn't control the dream and you couldn't search and stay with her. The part of the dream with your ex looking for leverage for court must have been so scary. I hope the shift at the pub went well today! How are you feeling with everything now?
Thanks for the nice words @Redemption. I don't see any reason why you can't get into a relationship so I am hopeful you will find someone soon. I already mentioned this once or twice on both the threads and the chats, but I have a meeting with Asda about the possibility of me getting paid work in March, I am hopeful to hear that I will actually be getting paid at the end of this internship or early and also be told in what I can improve on as I feel like while I'm doing well, I could be doing better. According to the college I am doing very well, but that could just be because some people on the course need more support than I do. Getting a car is a goal right now, but it's not a very important one until I get my provincial licence and then I can start revising for my highway code without my mum telling me I'm wasting my time. Apparently I can get my provisional without a passport and I'm looking into it now. Right now my main focus is trying to move out and gain independence from my family, still debating whether or not to get a shared flat or my own flat as I don't know what my wage will be if I start getting paid. I honestly doubt I will get a relationship anytime soon if at all because I struggle to trust people for reasons I'm not going to get into because this post is long enough. I feel like this is one of the main reasons I don't have any IRL friends and a romantic relationship, (tw mention of sa, I don't know how to put up spoilers. sorry) Also all the girls in my pervious course would joke I wanted to rape and murder them along with other horrible stuff they would joke about because they thought I was fucking stupid and couldn't tell they were saying these horrible things about me because I have autism and don't act normal most of the time. Fuck, I remember some girls were trying to hold in their laughter because I was behind them when me and my course went on a trip, probably were thinking I wanted to touch them up or assault them. Even though I walked out of the course around a year ago, it still sticks with me and one of the reasons I struggle to put my trust into people. I am hopeful to put my trust into someone soon so I can actually make friends and maybe get into a relationship, but that won't be happening for a while. I am going to stop rambling now. I hope you have a nice rest of your day @Redemption and thanks if you read my ramblings.
tw: mentions of rape, I can't put a spoiler over the mentions of it though because a staff member did this for me and I don't understand these new changes.
Things really haven't gone well today, tomorrow is going to so hard aswell.
@so_very_tired I put the post in a spoiler for you! It is tricky on this new format, but if you click a little backwards P and I looking thing which is to the side of your textbox, you can click it, click the apostrophes, and then click the Spoiler.
I hope the picture shows the bit I mean!
I am stupid, thanks.
@Animalloverb it sounds like things have been tough for a while lately, and I know it can be exhausting having to explain it all. But if you are comfortable, and you are able to share, we're here to listen.
@Callum Thank you for the support. To be honest my anxiety has overreacted so many times in these minor occasions that I'm like to myself I was fine every other time so just relax nothing is gonna happen. I told my mum about it a bit even though she didn't ask and then I immediately vented properly on here about it which definitely helps a lot
The trial shift went alright I think lol, I hope I get the job. Tbh I haven't worked in a long time or been in any sort of work environment properly for a long time because my university experience was a bit isolating being a parent and commuter, so I was a bit nervous and socially anxious but I know for sure after a few shifts I'll probably warm up to the new environment. Not to be a bummer but I don't really feel better, recently has been a constant drone of low mood. Trying to focus on some good things though, I started meditating again and I'm thinking about getting back into rollerskating now that it's not cold anymore and once this rain stops.
I want a mini cooper s atm
@Sabah
I appreciate it, but it's so hard to talk about, I mean some of it isn't but a lot is.
i just became a member for co-op and ordered from there for the first time. but im scared im not going to receive my items because im under 18 and apparently you have to be 18 to order from there even though it said that you can be a member from 16 sooo whats the logic in that?
ok i ended up receiving my items which im glad about.
Its actually so sad being alone on Valentine’s Day, I don't have many interactions apart from here.
there’s a fucking spider…
@eylah the absolute worst creatures on the planet. Are you able to fling it a mile away?
my best mates cat is on there rn. he’s laid on top of the spider 😂. but im shit scared to even move bc it’s petrifying!
@eylah that cat has more guts than both of us combined 😂. How on earth does it just sit on the spider, like the spider isn't a creature from the depths of nightmares.
spider is now under my coat.. bc i had to feed cat lol.. 😂
@eylah new plan, evacuate! That room now belongs the spider 😂
haha! im trying to squash it bc its fucking creeping me out. was running across floor earlier. 😂
@eylah how big is the spider? 🤣
big… it’s a big spider.. it’s taken over the room now.. bloody thing! better pay rent 😂
@eylah i guess it's the spiders room now 😂
My money went a bit low but its going back up now. I was just overthinking how it went low and everything
Its actually hitting hard about Valentine’s Day alone, seeing everyone's Instagram posts too, fuuuck 😢
Hey @Redemption, I can hear that today might be difficult for you when you see everyone else's posts. Is there something today that you can look forward to, or something nice you can do for yourself? Here to support you.
@Azziman thank you . Not sure what to do in terms of something to look forward to, its just the Instagram posts too of people saying happy Valentine’s and I dont have anyone
I got told off because I kept going on about the mini cooper s
@Redemption Hey Pal!
You can speak about it as much as you can here! It’s super exciting to have something you’re so happy to think about, and it sounds disheartening that people might be putting it down. Who is it that has been making those sorts of comments?
@Leyla hey, good to see you hehe. Just my uncle told me off for going about that motor, tbf I do have phases where I just have a certain car on my mind and can keep going on about it. Like it was cars like Kia Sportage at some point, even a toyota auris hybrid, I don't know why I was having dreams of owning boring hybrids or some family suv when I'm 20s single and no use for an suv. I guess I felt an suv is quite bold and a auris hybrid is probably relaxing and super reliable but Im still quite a young lad, do I really want to be driving an a dull family car or hybrid at 24. I'd drive a lexus ct as thats basically a premium auris hybrid but I have been thinking recently maybe just go preformance, we only live once and I dont think it will be too bad on running costs. The mini cooper s does look very nice, I’m having that phase where I just love it, I kinda got put off minis cos there's a stereotype of them being girls cars but if I like it screw what everyone else thinks. If I was fully basing things on what everyone else thinks id probably end up getting something stupid on finance that I probably can't afford. Sorry for the long ramble anyway leyla, I've not seen you in chats too much recently so hope youve been well.
