I've finally figured out why I'm drawn to tragic romances and 'star-crossed lovers'.

Graduation at the local university today
Reminds me that I ain't got no future
No past
No present
Nothing current
Toying with the prospect/idea/ concept of,
applying for one or more internships over the summer. Local community college
But already had five internships
Of them three were accounting (my AA major)
But bone tired
Lazy
Unpaid internship
And previous internships did not
necessarily aid my job search
So what makes me fancy the sixth (fourth accounting) will benefit my dumbfuck worthless corpse?
Whatever
Nothing to do
Not even social plans
No hobbies
Just walking, reading, internet
No precious lil "friends"
Dysfunctional
Incompetent
Academically stupid
Dissociated
Brain fart
Not all there
Beyond repair
Too far gone
Wounded
Victimized
Hopeless
Helpless
Misunderstood
Bitter
Hateful
Angry

I acquired a largish tabllet sized bluetooth keyboard today that works with my phone. Could be interestiing. Hopefully it will be easier for me to deal wiith than the onscreen keyboard on my smartphone. It feels ridiculous, makes me think of the movie Brazil. Tiny little screen, miniature keyboard. Apparently doesn't do auto-correct, so I may make quite a few typos for a little while.
the current counselor told me
"you are ok the way you are and people should not hrrt your feelings".
wtf
you are only "ok" at a certain time, for a certain purpose, according to a certain judge.
nobody has told me that above statement (marked with smilies) before. and i am 35 years old.
so if i have to hire someone for 75 bucks an hour to tell me the above statement, then i must not be "ok". and precious lil "people" should've exterminated me a long time ago.
"should", "can" and "will" are all different things.
or was that an imperative statement? a command? as in,
you should not let precious lil "people" hrrt your feelings.
what is that statement, linguistically? semantics. declarative or imperative statement.
"homelessness should not hrrt your feelings" does not mean "you should not be homeless". "homelessness should not hrrt your feelings" means that, you should not be so emotionally fragile as to feel hrrt, because you are homeless.
besides, the counselor can't peer pressure anyone. HIPAA.
everything you say is confidential unless you violate the mandated reporter law
.
the current counselor legally does not have a right to write laws, do fieldwork (go places with clients), provide speech therapy, prescribe medication, write laws. she has no
time machine
. all she ever does is sit there talking.
"actions speak louder than words".
but whatever.
besides, plenty of people make fun of Trump (and previous presidents) with a lot of different methods. there is nothing he can do about it. one cartoon featured Trump lying in a coffin, with Obama and Clinton's families standing by, smiling and laughing.
if the Commander in Chief of the military can't do anything about people making fun of him, then i also can't do anything about someone making fun of me.
because i am just a public nuisance panhandling civilian. indeed i am a nobody.
and what is "okay".
i am only "ok" to the current counselor. she told me that if a client came in and broke her furniture that would not be "ok".
but i am not "ok", according to almost all previous bosses. those precious lil "people" had the nerve to fire me. second, third day.
f**k those ass holes.
firing me "hrrt your feelings".
so what?
if nobody ever hrrt my feelings, then nobody would've fired me. and i wouldn't have to work either.
if nobody ever hrrt anyone's feelings, nobody would/could ever get fired, flunk a class, get divorced, or get evicted. or anything like that.
thus removing the
fear
based motivation.
for motivation, all you have left is,
goodwill and
greed. which do not go that far, maybe. just maybe.
saying "people should not hrrt your feelings" sounds like it implies, that like, i got a moral prerogative, to veto any action or statement, from anyone, just b/c it hrrt my feelings.
wrong.
nope. no. negative.
i do not have that entitlement. nobody does. not even Trump.
the other thing i do not get is, everything helps, has no effect, or hrrts. you can't guarantee you get just the first two.
it's actually kind of belittling, that the counselor told me that. it's like, wtf?
i am 35 years old. got a BA and AA in different subjects. gender identity disorder, autism, clinical depression. six out of ten personality disorders.
thus i got plenty of failure and social rejection
i am not just 4 years old.
sometimes i wonder if that's why so many precious lil "people" act so entitled.
a former "friend" had the nerve to tell me that she would tell me when i did something she did not like and she expected me to stop.
but she was not willing to do the same for me. not even when i asked her to stop jaywalking. (illegal). ("people do it all the time.")
she truly really had an ego so humungous she believed that she had a moral right to veto any action or statement from anyone just b/c she did not like it.
what if she did not "like" it when i continued living, then what?
nobody has rights, besides her.
nobody has emotions.
a former meditation "instructor" had the nerve to tell me "we would rather not have you doing yoga. it's distracting".
that lil ass hole claimed way too much authority. s**t
everything is either grounding, neither or distracting. you can't guarantee just the first two.
"we" just means two or more precious lil "people". the royal "we" means just one.
so, in (then 27 years), more than two precious lil "people" found it "distracting" when i continued living. so what? maybe they should've exterminated me. pest control.
how about,
we would rather not have you micromanaging customers. it's distracting.
b/c he had the nerve to tell me that over 7 (seven) years (yes, years) ago. and i still hold a grudge against him.
he acted like he was so compassionate, polite, nice, kind, wise. whatever.
wrong.
he showed the size of his massive entitled ego.
if he were to have said "i am so bad at meditating, that i fail to meditate when you are wrongfully doing unskillful yoga. as a personal favor to me, could you please stop?". then i would've been happy to stop doing yoga.
and i tried to explain to at least three different (psychological) counselors. and none of them got it. the first time. and i explained and explained.
sometimes usually it is just not worth the effort to interact with precious lil "people".
even the well meaning ones.
just b/c he found it "distracting" does not mean anyone else found it "distracting".
"would rather not have"?
seriously.
not everyone talks that way all the time. but a lot of precious lil "people" do, a lot of the time.
and i am just so tired of
splitting fine hairs
having to justify my existence
and compete and argue
over every slightest thing.
and to add insult to injury, he had the nerve to tell me that he
cared
about me. "care". "to attend to". it is not necessarily good. "care" does not specify outcome, intention, legality, morality.
but, whatever. semantics aside, he did not "care" about me.
at last, not as much as he claimed credit for.
tired of obsessing about the past.
but with no precious lil "friends", hobbies, or jobs, it's kind of tempting to obsess about the past.
preoccupation
disturbance
it's like if there is a plate of lasagna in the same room, i find it hard to not eat it. tempting.
same thing.
and precious lil "people" did not even apologize to me.
he/they ought to have gotten on their knees and begged for forgiveness

i'm so upset
there's this pink haired QT who works at a CVS in the neighborhood where i like to hang out
but i haven't seen her the last few times i went in there (it's been a week)
i really wanted to see and talk to her again. ![]()

and having a snuggie was awesome.
thus exaggerating the value of a snuggie.
same with counseling. the counselor told me that she has never seen me "angry" before but if i do get "angry", then "we will deal with it."
wtf?
35 years old.
the first counselor i saw was when i was sixteen.
there are only five emotions: happy, sad, angry, surprised, scared.
one in five emotions is angry.
she acted like i knew how to deal with anger zero percent. and she acted like she knew how to deal with anger one hundred percent.
but it is more like i am at five percent and she is at ten percent.
anger is an emotion.
not a catastrophe.
not even an event.
any more than happiness is an event
seriously i am uncomfortable with all emotions, not just anger
for the counselor to tell me what she told me sounded a bit condescending
but yes i know she meant well and all that stupid BS ![]()

I actually agree with you.
Too many treat anger like it is an invalid emotion - but we all get angry!
Being told not to get angry or anger is inappropriate is enough to make me angry.
WTF? is exactly what I think.
I like being happy and don't feel comfortable being sad or scared either.
I am probably neutral about anger - it is just there when I feel it.
You can look up some techniques regarding DBT and see if it would fit with you - it is just another behavioural therapy.
You are fine and I quite like your sense of humour
