i am very fucking inefficient if it helps?

Whenever I read about Obsidian it's always about how they got screwed by their publishers, and it's always a different publisher.

Lesson of this summer: I suck at being a functional human being.

[Robot Parade Leader]

I currently live with my parents.

My mom is having some problems. I feel bad for her situation.

Honestly, the worst part is that her complaining gets stuck in my head and it plays over and over again, because I somehow feel like I could solve this problem, even though I know I can't. It's an obsessive thinking kind of thing. The irony is, if I could just focus on what I had to do, then I wouldn't have to listen to her complain about it. I don't even know, but these obsessive thoughts are killing me. I can replay the argument she makes in my head a million times, prove it's false and it doesn't matter.

So for some reason it seems to be I get angry quicker and more intensely. Maybe people are just doing more things to piss me off in rapid succession. And since I have no idea how to handle intense anger, given that I've never really dealt with it, it's not pretty. I usually can recognise if I'm actually losing control and get myself away before I do anything more than raise my voice (shouting at someone is typically the thing that clues me in), but last friday...that didn't happen. Wound up punching someone in the face right before I gained enough control to then start walking away. Yeeeah.

Also been having these odd sad moments now and then when I'm alone. Like I've been about to cry but my brain just shuts down all emotion as soon as it detects that. I've even gone to cry once or twice when alone, face made the cry face and everything, only for it all to stop. Just, stop. Face goes back to null, and I just stop feeling anything at all. Why can't my brain also do that with anger? Would save the awkwardness of having to apologise for punching someone in the face when they were being a dick.

I miss when my only emotional states were "interested", "bored" and "wishing to avoid something that causes boredom". Only ones you really seem to need in life.

A big problem is I suck at recognising my own emotions. Dunno if you could call it alexithymia, but I typically either have to be clued in to my internal emotional state by my actions, or by others pointing it out to me. Like, I can't *know* what I'm feeling internally, can't put words to it or identify it or often even notice it. People have commented I seem stressed a lot more lately, so it could be I'm just running off a higher "baseline" lately.

Given I'm done with work and going back to university soon, hopefully the month off of "adult responsibility" will be enough to fix that.

My Summer lesson is I am so unbelievably bad at time-management it's a wonder I get dressed in the morning. Sometimes I don't, I just wear what I did previously.

[Frumple]

... the real trick is to have a set of at-home clothes that you immediately swap in to once you get back from wherever you go, and then two sets of away-from-home clothes you alternate between. Can stretch a limited wardrobe further, insofar as cleaning them goes. Still maintain a fair amount of appearance-related whatever while pushing the distance between necessary clothes washing, further. Less spent on clothes maintenance = more food.

My step-grandmother keeps trying to tantalize my mother with the idea that I'm a whore, and my grandmother bought and is pushing my cousin's girlfriend's book but wouldn't deign to look at mine.

Whatever.

[Sirus]

...Wat. Okay, its true that we only see what you want to share here, but I have an extremely hard time picturing you in any whore-like manner O_o;

The hell did that idea come from?!

Seconded. Wat.

My face cannot make up its mind on what expression to make at that.
