Vent and then let it go...

[Guest_1055]

Not sure about anyone else but sometimes I just need to vent, including venting any frustrations, fears, hopes, worries, longings and anything else. Most of the time I don't want any advice or any responses. Just need a way to get it all out from within me.

So thought this thread could be for those sort of things. No one replys to you with words or anything. It's a place to let it all go. Just dump whatever it is you want to say and leave it here.

So yeah no replys please.

I always feel so insecure around my birthday because I have a strange subconscious idea that if it goes by without anyone noticing it means I am invisible and don't matter. I'm so sick of feeling insecure and anxious as it approaches and I want to love myself regardless and be able to enjoy it, even if its in a simple way.

Hello Banksy 92,

I'd get so disappointed when no-one who knew my birthday didn't remember, call, email or anything. Now, I make a point of doing something, getting myself something, somethimes a big something, but small is fine,too, so I have become the one who celebrates my birthday - even if no one else does. 😸

But I didn't get what I wanted this year! 😾 I was too concerned about what if, because I can't wear a mask,so didn't spend a big chunk of money on a hotel holiday, one with a bath & piano bar...it was possible there would

be lockdowns

But it turned out really nice, I got my 2nd vaccine dose, then going with my helper & getting cheesecake, & then to her place to play with the 7 puppies! 😻

The vent I came here for: Just ONCE I'd like to recieve everything I ordered from Coles Online! Every time! There has been something not sent or not the quantity I wanted. I am getting realy cranky about it. (& there is no cranky cat emoji - & that makes me cranky, too!)

Hi all. Shelll it has sad how society renders so many of us voiceless. I see u and feel the same. Just wanted to say that.

Not sure how to manage a friend never returning calls. It hurts, socks, and feels disrespectful. I ignore it and accept apologies but I'm not feeling safe with her right now.

Feeling insecure and alone, and wanting to hear a human voice. To feel loved and cared for. And I don't.

Thankyou Sleepy

Not sure when you birthday is Banksy. But may it be filled with some kind of "happy"

Hi Sleepy I know the feeling when a friend dosnt return your calls especially when you are worried about them and they don't seem to care at all about your feelings and realise what a caring friend they have.No wonder I am scared of making friends now.

I get so tired of being the one who calls.

I keep waiting, hoping, & finally thinking, so we weren't the friends I thought we were.

I wish we, here, could call each other.

Even businesses, I call & leave messages when the business offers to call back, & guess .what? I reckon it's up around 98% don't call back, ever, I think, if I didn't call them again, I think that's what would happen...I might even give them days to call back, & they don't.

This is as bad as phoning & being on hold for more than half an hour or three quarters, (I'm hanging on because I would have to wait all over again), hearing how important my call is to them! Nope, I don't think so!

I'd wonder, wha's wrong with me? I don't smell, well, not over the phone anyway. I know I speak quietly, & that's getting better, I think, & I do my best to speak clearly when I do have to leave a message, through my nerves. It's not easy, for someone who gets anxious, to suddenly have to give their name, phone number, & a brief message about why I've phoned, within 30 seconds or be cut off.

Now, when I make an offer, inviting someone to phone me, I don't bet on it happening. If I am concerned about someone, I will phone them. That's just how it is & I may as well accept it.

Can't stop feeling disappointed, though.

Oh, but being disappointmented means I expected something!

[Guest_1055]

Only just coping through today... That's better then not coping isn't it

[Maddeline]

Hi Shelll,

Some days just end up being that way dont they! But, if you ever need to talk to someone please reach out and talk to those around you. Sometimes it makes it easier when we talk to other people about why we are finding a day particularly hard.

l just want life to stop and stand still. So sick of trying and having to do this must do that pay for this come up with that ,call them , arrange that, go see them get your mind twisted into knots by them and then your done with them until the next time, lists of 10 mind bending things that for some reason just never end each wk and will have to be done , even when you think on Monday morning just for once there aren't any this wk , by Monday lunchtime or Tues morning , another list.

Why is life so like this in Australia, even if you life the quietest nothing life in the country, still , these things, they never end, and neither do the bills and expenses and things that have to be paid things that just must be done, why , why does it never end, even living like this.

l just want a still life , no more pressure or lists or calls or people to see that can ruin your day or life with a push of a button, no more needing so much money just to live for 1 mths and 11more following yr after yr after yr.

Why does it never end , even when l live like this.
