  • I'm going to bed b/c I'm clearly at my limit. Apparently "that's true" means yes? I told them to me that's neither a yes or no. They said they didn't know what to say, & so I gave them suggestions, and then they accused me "accusatory inversion" (I don't know what that is... "l'inversion accusatoire") and when I wanted to call to explain, they refused and said they didn't want to talk to me again. A whole avalanche of past experiences fell on me & I had a little cry. So bed.

  • I'm having a feeling AND a moment. Now I understand what all the girlies mean when they say dating is chopped. At this point, I don't even know where to turn for a fulfilling relationship. Or to try to find one. I've searched here, there, everywhere and I'm just coming to the conclusion that it's not just not possible in this country. And I don't see myself leaving France any time soon. So I don't know. Feeling very hopeless tonight after some recent events.

  • I just had a memory of a sun dial my father made and gave to me. I didn't really know him. He moved across the country after my parents divorced, when I was 7 or so. I wonder where it is now. I think my mom threw it away along with all of my belongings at a moment when we weren't speaking. I feel like I lost everything before France in a fire and not much is left of that time. It really messes with your head to have no trace of who you were before 27.

  • So I finally got around to writing, editing and "publishing" my post about how this ango went. I posted an image of this ango's commitment and I thought it was important to show how it went (which wasn't perfect by any means)! So here it is in what I'm calling an "anti-motivational post."

    A roughly nine minute read featuring my finger paintings. 🤪

  • My lights didn't turn on to wake me up! And home assistant's last trace is sometime in November so I have no idea why! (By the way, if any other home assistant users are reading this and know why I don't have traces that are, like, in this month, let me know!) But I guess I needed the sleep and the only repercussion is that I missed the gym this morning. At least I feel rested!

    Anyway, uh.... Good morning!

  • One of the unfortunate things about people always treating you weird because of being a foreigner is that you get a little paranoid about it. You start wondering did they do or say this thing because you're a foreigner and they're being weird or xenophobic or am I attributing their actions to that when in reality they're just a garden variety asshole. You get so in your head about it when you get these constant microagressions and I think that's the real insidious part of it all.

    @aaron Okay. It seemed in overall decent shape before the accident, so let's hope it can bounce back! Thanks for the explanation!

    @derickp One of the two interrupts because he gets excited, and while it's a little annoying at times, it's much more tolerable because he's not trying to completely derail into something else. He just tends to ask questions or make guesses about what you're going to say when you would have just said it. The other interrupts in a way that I find a lot worse. To be purposefully contrarian or in complete disregard to what you say. It feels like a control thing. It's hard to handle both together

    @stevegis_ssg Yeah, on top of that, I can't really interrupt back. I can only listen or talk. I can't do both. So I feel like where a lot of people would interrupt back to be able to finish what they're saying, my brain just doesn't cooperate. Unless I interrupt kind of late, which I realize people find brutal. Or sometimes they just keep going. I've not really found a way to wrestle back control when this happens so I just feel kind of helpless.

    @donthatedontkill That's so frustrating, especially when you were trying to be heard about that very thing. Some people suck at listening. OK, most people suck at listening. Makes you want to scream into the void sometimes ???? Hope the not great feelings pass quickly and something better takes their place!
