Goal: view things as the lack of an obligation and maybe added safety rather than loss of an opportunity or duty unfulfilled

Less depressingly things have been going well. Had a great night out with the guys at work because 1 is leaving, then my coworkers had a birthday lunch with me and stuck cake in and it made me really happy
Stopped myself from a major over share, hopefully I can keep that trend up. I've done pretty well for quite a bit (IRL). It's just so hard to not overshare when someone sees you for real and cares, but I'm having healthy boundaries instead.
10 minutes in to 31 years old and panic
Oh my god
Did my fear make me miss something important?

My age is about to be a rough one for me :(
I think it's time to start looking at therapy again :/ One of my coworkers has major insecurity issues and he's resorted to gaslighting me over shit in a group hobby even though he's both wrong and wasn't there (and he started it while throwing a temper tantrum and literally throwing paper at me while yelling at me for all the shit he's projecting on me, mature). He got people joining in who were also not there (and were not there for the tantrum either). Gaslighting is super triggering for me and cool coworker can't get them to stop egging us on to fight each other. Either they finally listen and drop it or I'm going to start saying brutally true things to him which will make it worse. Maybe therapy is option 3.
I still think a reasonable neurotypical person would be fairly upset about it, but like, I have to do something that lets me keep being an okay human being but also not feel like fucking shit.
Idk if I can afford therapy for more than a little while, though. Hopefully I find someone good and it helps.
How the fuck do people successfully deescalate social situations? Like other that by just walking away so the other person can cool down. My work folks' board game group got really intense really fast today and the usual social butterfly wasn't there to fix it. I left before the game was even picked.
being a woman is just constantly hating your immediate present self and then looking back and hating your past self for not appreciating your beauty and opportunities at that time and it just goes on like. forever
I don't know if you're all aware but Wendy's has defeated Arby's, possibly forever. There is a Wendy's tabletop system now (think D&D). All 97 pages are free. Reading them is highly entertaining

What's a better way to spend a Sunday night than finding out your nostalgia has to die forever because the creators are awful at being human? I feel like shit and it will pass but I better pull myself together tomorrow morning because I have a very time sensitive task to do at work and no one who'd care enough to get it done on time.
Is there a socially appropriate way to respond to a compulsive liar?
Friend lies over the most trivial shit, quadruples down when questioned. I get pissed off over being gaslit. No one else seems to find it worth it to argue. They won't go to therapy or anything and seem cool with lying about things with no point forever. Is it important if it rained? No. Do I want to be gaslit about it for zero reason and with no goal? Also no. At least if there was a POINT to it it'd be less frustrating.

Ive literally never seen a model wearing a cgm or pump,, especially for a company thats so big??? Im cry?????
They did a whole campaign with disabled and chronically ill models! (Source)
REPRESENTATION MATTERS!
In all of my fourteen years as a diabetic, I have never once seen myself represented in advertising. I’ve never seen those with crutches, colostomies, or wheelchairs, either, despite how many people live with those conditions.
I got so excited seeing this advertising campaign! Inclusive media is a huge step forward!!
Okay, but this is fucking huge and I hope to see more.
This is great!

It’s sad that toxic game culture is so prevalent cuz like. As someone who has ended up in random matches with kids before, I can attest to how fucking easy it is to reverse and un-teach shitty attitudes in kids.
Example: I downloaded Friday the 13th because it’s free on psn. I dunno how to play, so I just enter quick play and I’m matched with 3-4 kids on mic. Immediately on mic they’re shitty and disparaging to each other. They laugh at each others deaths, they actively work against team mates and self sabotage, they call each other “fags”, etc. From the sounds of the voices they cannot be older than 13-14.
I put on my mic and just decide I ain’t havin it. I am nice. I thank them for barricading doors or leaving me items. When they break free from Jason’s grasp I say “good job!” or I try to help them. One kid survived for most of the match by himself. When he dies, I tell him he did a fantastic job.
The mood shift is practically INSTANT. These kids almost immediately stop being dick heads. They start encouraging each other and being kind. After the match all of them try to friend request me. Which should tell you a couple of things:
A) kids want to be kind, and they want to have a nice time playing games. But encounters with adults like me or so rare that they’ve trained themselves to instantly put on a toxic, shitty, defensive veneer when encountering any new person online. It’s literally just THAT EASY to not groom a horrible gaming community, it’s just that NO ONE does it.
B) the speed of which they all tried to friend me was cute, but paints for me such a sad picture? Like these kids are SO desperate to find people to play with who aren’t crappy jerks. They played with me for 10 minutes TOPS and all instantly tried to reach out to me.
tl;dr: The kids are alright. Adults are shit heads.
I cant agree with this post more
I witnessed something similar with my younger brother (this was when he was In fifth grade so bear with me here) and his friends. The teacher assigned for them to build a somewhat accurate spanish mission in Minecraft because their school had gotten some iPads and she needed to assign them something other than a PowerPoint.
Now here’s the thing. Most of these boys, my brother included, have ADD/ADHD. About a week into the project all they had in their shared world was chaos. Somebody filled the place with tnt and lit it up. Holes everywhere. Whenever one would attempt to try and build something (mostly wood huts and not the actual project) it would be destroyed within minutes as the boys began to insult each other heavily and complain that the design was ugly.
I brought my own ipad with me and decided to sit with the boys while they continued their reign of terror. I joined the world and built a hallway out of brick at the very center of this war zone. Immediately one of them tried to destroy it under the impression that “it looks bad”.
“Well, what should I make it out of?”
“Diamond.”
The ten year old mind is a mystery to me…
Anyway, then I showed him some pictures similar to these:
I reasoned that it would be easier to sway this kid toward another pretty block than trying to get him to stick to the materials of the time, so I asked him if he would like to help me replace my brick design with quartz (eh, it’s white).
Bam! One of the ten year old anarchists is dutifully building me a glittering gem hallway for our insanely rich monks.
The other three are off somewhere still yelling at each other and setting off explosives, but we have something built. Much to my surprise the kid asked if he could build the church next because he “wanted to build the most important part”.
Here’s where I learned something important. I don’t have ADD or ADHD but as I said before my brother does. When he gets fixated on something, he’s really gets into it. Once a few minutes had passed and this kid already had four walls up I decided to grid up the entire mission. One gets the church, one gets the farm, etc.
After playing the game with them for an hour, I had a pretty good idea of where each kid should go.
Church kid, I found, was very particular about materials and shape(hence his hangup over the brick). I gave him free reign over the outer walls of the mission and showed him the reference pictures to get him started.
My brother liked the farms most (he was building dirt domes over the cows don’t ask me how I made this connection it just worked, okay), so he was in charge of building pens for the animals.
Another kid was, at first glance, very loud and bossy when it came to decorating (constantly said we were making chairs wrong). Turns out he likes interior design, like putting benches and beds in the little rooms, so his bossiness was just frustration with my brother’s artistic sense I guess.
Another was very good with placing trees and plants around the exterior (I guessed this because he covered the place in a ridiculous amount of trees and I asked him if he would like to know where they are supposed to go). He got to make a vineyard for us and organized how the crops should go.
So how did it turn out?
Actually very nice!!
So what did we learn? Kids actually like to play games and be praised for their creativity and intuition. If I had just told them to stop messing around rather than direct their attention to areas within their interests, they never would have gotten anything done.
After an hour of gaming they:
Mirrored my language; “thank you!”, “which part are you working on?”, “I like this block.”
Realized each other’s strengths; “hey [kid name] can you help me with the roof?” “How do you make the big trees [kid name]?”
Were able to articulate exactly what they did or didn’t like without using force; “that looks good!”, “how about we put it there?”, “I don’t like that block, how about this one?”
On the plus side, since we moved the game file to my device for safekeeping, I now have a cute little souvenir of the time I played Minecraft with four ten year olds.
This is a really long post, but it’s super important. In games like Fortnite where you’ll find lots of kids, it’s important (if you can) to steer them away from toxicity. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve run into kids who talk like toxic adults and the act of just being nice to them completely turns them around.
This isn’t limited to games, by far. When younger kids are exposed to snide, aggressive older people in any capacity their instinctive response is to adapt that behavior to seem cool and adult and avoid being a target. Maybe you’re not even an asshole and you just play around with your friends by ironically insulting them, but kids don’t really know the difference. They don’t have that context. And they can continue to develop thinking this is just the way you’re supposed to act and that any sensitivity or vulnerability is something to be laughed at. I experienced this as a 13 year old on 90′s webforums and I didn’t break out of a non-stop snarky rude mode until like 22.
