  • oh yes everything was okay by the end of the night, it just didn’t help alleviate my excitability in the slightest. I’m still looking for opportunities to practice being late but i can’t. don’t want to be late to grocery pickup and mess up the workers, don’t want to be late to the vet and get cancelled don’t want to be late to a date and make them feel bad, etc.

    yes that’s a nice way of putting it. It isn’t a panic attack but I get extremely agitated, short tempered, crazed with distress and afraid to my bones. It’s very rare because i just plan to never be late but when it does happen I show up in tears and have made anyone accompanying me miserable.

    I stress so much about being late for things that I usually plan to be 15 minutes early to things and just wait. i’ll start to flip out if things go south and i’m merely going to be on time. I talked to my therapist about this and she tells me to practice being late. sounds hard but okay i do what she tells me right?

    So next poker night i decide to be 15 minutes late (other people routinely are this late so this should be fine!)

    Wellll because i’m the only punctual and reliable one the host had counted on me to let people in to her condo (I had keys cuz i’m so reliable!) while she handled the big food order. She didnt bother telling me this because I had never once been late. She ended up being pretty grumpy about it which felt unfair but girl did this have the opposite effect my therapist intended 😂

    It has been about 8 months since then and i’m still trying to build up the courage to be late to something. Don’t beat your children folks.









  • american cops have some of the worst crime clearance rates on earth despite having the largest budgets.

    vs some civilized countries:

    they put up these impressive numbers while sucking down most of the budget in every town, while abusing minorities and the homeless and anyone else they can. You ever have to deal with cops for insurance when you get robbed? They are making sure you aren’t scamming the insurance company, who they actually work for. They don’t give a fuck about helping you.

    Wonder why those leftists aren’t happy with the state of things 🤔

    Wonder why anyone could be pleased with it tbh.
