I wish that Temu would leave us the hell alone.

25 stinking pence they've put on the price of a small bag of Jakemans in Sainsbury's

Cheeky, hard faced, robbing bar stewards!

The world's gone round the flipping twist
Unless I'm mistaken that's a 25% increase

They've done that in time for everyone getting the bloody flu, I'm telling you

Well it's alright because I'll just take my business elsewhere
They're only 79p in Savers

I've switched my default browser to one that doesn't have AI searching for results, because I'm fed up with AI bullsh*ng me.

I hate the center I go to, especially (most of) the people. There's only one staff I like, and less than a handful of clients - I mainly go for the computer that allows me to see better and to do laundry, and even that is going to be going away soon since they're changing policies on doing laundry.

I already avoid going on busy days but sometimes I'll still be surprised and I can't stay long enough to do laundry or sit through the group meeting that is basically mandatory to use the facilities.

I hate it. I hate the people. I hate the lights. I hate everything except the computer and laundry room.

I hate when people tell me I'm "nosy" for just wanting to belong and being hyper-social. As a person who is not renowned for snitching or spreading gossip, I only want to know what's going on because it's a way to feel connected and a sense of belonging, which isn't unusual for a human. If a co-worker is absent and you work with them, the first question you might ask somebody else is where they are, because you care. Being met with a cold response like "don't worry about others, just focus on yourself, you're too nosy!" isn't really helpful - especially when everyone else most likely asked the same question as me and wasn't met with a rejecting response.

It'd be nice if the person told the bully to "not worry about others and to focus on himself" when he was going round taking pictures of me and snitching on me just to stir up trouble. At least I'm not capable of that and never will be. But it seems social rules don't apply to me. I'm just expected to be happy being kept in the dark about everything while everyone else knows the goings on of the workplace. It isn't fair. How do I get a stronger personality where I can be an NT without being scolded? Life is so boring and lonely when you're on the f*****g piss-arse spectrum.

^ I get the feeling that nosy is sometimes used for similar reasons as creep/creepy. Basically, when someone tries to be included when the group is seeking to exclude them, they'll be labelled nosy or creepy, when really they're just oblivious to the attempts at exclusion.

Well I can't do anything about that then lol. It's okay, I asked someone else where my favourite co-worker was and they said she's on annual leave. So at least she's not ill or anything.
I am close to the people at work and I do fit in enough to not be thought of as creepy is I so much as ask a question, but one person does like to have social power there. He's not a bully and I do like him, but it's just the way he is, especially with women. He's the old-fashioned type that still thinks women are inferior. At least it's not personal, though me having a weak personality doesn't help.

I feel sad. It’s complicated.

My girlfriend tried to comfort me. When she realized it didn’t work, she became a little emotionally overwhelmed. That made me even sadder. She is very sweet. She deserves a boyfriend who is emotionally stable, not someone like me who spends every day researching tech products but doesn’t understand emotions. I know we are not well matched, but I used to think she would be very happy being with me. She says she isn’t happy. If I insist on continuing, it seems selfish.

I still don’t have stable work. Socially, I’m very awkward. Sometimes I think about strange people I observed long ago—people who liked to rage and laugh explosively. I was afraid of them. I never understood why everyone indulged that kind of person. I feel sad, because I may never truly experience the warmth of a real group. I can only accept group behavior when there are clear rules and expectations, like in religious communities.

I am sad. There are many things I don’t understand and cannot solve. Staying here may only make my situation worse. My girlfriend and I are in a long-distance relationship, very far apart. She seems unwilling to leave her hometown. And in her region, the bride price is very heavy. My family’s conditions are slightly better than hers. My thought is that living together at my home would be more comfortable. I have no reason to move to her hometown. I think my family might not be able to afford the bride price.

I like her. That may be the only reason worth getting married for, but even that sounds selfish. In fact, I could choose not to like her. I feel sad. I do many things poorly. If I had income, I would feel a bit better.

I like being frugal. I feel that I find products with good cost-performance value, but my family doesn’t understand me. They think spending time and energy maintaining old things is acceptable. I feel somewhat sad.

It’s Spring Festival now. I have no friends to spend time with, and there’s nothing I particularly want to do. Žižek talks about the “desire for desire.” I have that. I don’t have desire; I want a bit of it. I want a kind of desire that is easy to satisfy—something that brings a brief moment of happiness once fulfilled. So far, the only thing I’ve found that works like that is masturbation. But even that has limits; after once, I have to stop for two or three days.

I feel a little sad.
