Lurker

I recently had to close my store for an hour, because I was the only one working and couldn't breath due to one customers bad hygiene. People treat me like I'm overly sensitive or making up my discomfort, but to me it feels like being suffocated.

Also I can totally smell roaches, they smell worse than any other thing in existence. Never smelled an ant though. Did not know that was possible.

This is probably the next Jojo installment.

Find a game store! Every city should have one or two places where people gather to play board games and card games. I've met some really great people just jumping into random magic the gathering matches. Only of my best friends was just some dude I met at the card shop, he was looking for a group to play dnd with and we've been meeting up once a week ever since.

Apps like meet up (if it's still a thing?) may be really useful as well.

It's super helpful to people like me who have been suffering their entire lives. It's great to feel heard and validated, but the real value is being able to learn about myself. I've never been a morning person and have trouble sleeping at night. It's really nice to hear something other than "you're just not trying" or "try counting sheep". It's a lot better than just thinking I'm flawed. I wish someone would have told my parents this when they used to scream at me for sleeping in too late or not being asleep when they wanted me to be.

It was the same way with my adhd. My parents and teachers kept telling me I was just lazy, or didn't care when I felt like I was working my butt off. Being 'worse' then everyone else ate me alive and I'm still suffering for it. It was the same with my brothers autism. It was the same with my chronic depression. I wish I was born in this age of self reflection and mental health awareness, and for the sake of all the kids like me I really hope we keep pushing forward.

I'm sure your comment was sarcastic, but I'm hijacking it to dump 20 years of built up trama,, and to let the world know how thankful I am that we're starting to accept these labels as more than just flaws. They're really, really helpful.

Edit to say, I just read the other comments and realize you weren't being sarcastic. I hope my post helped point out some of the reasons things like this are becoming so important to people.

I haven't cried even once today, so I think you should add me.

I don't think about reddit unless I see these posts. Good for me!

Logitech is the king of the budget device. I've had the same wireless mouse for almost 10 years give or take. Best 10 bucks I ever spent.

We're they wearing socks? With socks on its not gay at all.

Bought a fancy pizza the other day. They put zero thought into the distribution, instead opting for giant discs of goat cheese and spoonfuls of sauce spread about. Some bites were great, most were missing crucial ingredients for a pizza. Like sauce and cheese.

Well we couldn't give them guns AND beer.

I misread this like three times. Very funny. 10/10 supportive dad joke.

I think we all have a favorite "bad" mmo that still pulled us in . For me it was Atlantica online, which has recently come back for some reason. I remember spending hours wandering around their seemingly massive world. I'm actually going to re-download ot today just to give myself that nostalgia. While it was never a popular game, it ran on my old junky PC and was free. To me, altalntica online is just as essential to my status as an mmo junky as games like wow or dungeons and dragons online.
