Sometimes what seems like jealousy ... is not. Jealousy is wanting to take something from someone - not even to keep it, but just to TAKE it. To hurt them. To menace. I'm struggling with feeling like I must be a vile person just because I notice things have changed, and that I'm bitter about it.

work it out. Until then ... just remember, if you think this is about you, you have a brain, presumably working fingers or mouth, either an online connection or physical space with me, and can just ... tell me what I did so we can fix this. Or don't.

If you don't want me as your friend, just be honest about it. If you need time and space, just be honest about it. If there's something I could do to change it ... just ... be honest about it. I'm tired. I can't deal with this anymore.

If you think this is about you and you want to figure it out, I'm up for talking. As is, I don't feel safe or comfortable reaching out to people because I'm tired of being lashed out at. I'm tired of trying to figure out ways to have productive conversations that fail every fucking time.

I've literally spoken to so many people to try and figure out how to have these productive conversations. My supports, my therapist, close friends of varying ages and backgrounds. There's just literally no point. If you value me as a friend, and I've done something wrong, just tell me and we can-

Feel free to not take my post personally. I'm allowed to be sad. I'm allowed to hurt, and I'm allowed to do so in broad daylight. If you're feeling called out, hurt, and angry, consider why you are feeling that way. This is about a lot of people, IRL and online. No one's special.

I'm tired. I don't want to be here anymore. I don't want to feel unwanted. I don't want to draw. I don't want to write. I don't want to exist. But a lack of existence doesn't necessarily mean taking my own life this time.

But it can't be healthy to just ... sit here and feel like this, or to subject myself to being made to feel like this. I'm not jealous. I don't want to take things from someone. I just want to feel wanted, and for people to bother to tell me I've wronged them. They would if they wanted me here.

The obsession and the paranoia only goes away when I drink. I don't want to drink my life away for people I can only guess don't want me around. I don't know what I'm gonna do. Where I'll go. If it's even worth it. Maybe I should just fade into the background again.

I regret leaving, but I'm to the point where I regret coming back even more. Could I ask what's wrong? Done it before. People tend to lash out for it. I have no idea if it's guilt on their end. Why lash out so hard when asked for reassurance? And god knows even talking about it isn't allowed.

I tried to kill myself a few months back and it was specifically because of this. The feeling of being unwanted, knowing I'm done something wrong but not a god damn person willing to say what it was. They clearly don't want me around if they're not willing to say anything.

This time last year I was filled with hope. That's long gone. I thought I could do it, that people finally actually liked me and wanted me around. Now it's person after person falling out of contact, refusing to engage directly with me. I feel inhuman. I'm beyond alienated.

If I've done something wrong and no one will tell me what it is, how can I improve? At that point, I just have to take it that they don't want me around. If they wanted me around, they'd want to help me change so I'm not insufferable to have around. I'm exhausted. It never changes. I can't change.

I ain't asking people to fix me. I'm asking for the chance to fix myself. Social situations are so hard and confusing. I feel like I constantly say the wrong things at the wrong times, that my involvement in a conversation is its death knell. I feel so isolated.

And for that, I feel the accusations of 'jealousy' coming on. It's been there before. I don't want to take from others. I just want to be included and to be treated the same. I don't want to feel shut out. I don't want to feel like everyone is holding their breath and waiting for me to leave.

I've tried really hard to improve. And I feel like people have problems with me, with things I've said or done, but don't bother to tell me. I feel like these are now just shit talking points. I can't improve if people don't tell me what I've done wrong. I can't read minds.

I do not want to take anything from anyone. I am happy that everyone else can be happy. I don't want to take it from them. But I want to feel welcome and wanted. I do not feel like that right now. And it's hardly just in one place. I feel like I'm halfway out the door everywhere I exist.

I don't feel wanted, I don't feel welcome. In some places, I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop. In others, I know it's dropped, just out of my sight line. I don't really feel like I have a community anymore. I feel left out and unwanted. And for feeling that, I feel I must be a vile person.

Me: has a lot of trouble remembering names / dates Me: wants to talk about something important to me Them: when did this happen? Who? Me: feels stupid and insignificant because I can't easily recall this information without significant time spent searching the web Me: 🙃 I should just shut up

Mitch McConnell hasn’t been seen or heard from in 25 days in the hospital. Yet he still has a job, still getting paid, and getting unlimited world class healthcare. The man who voted against a living wage, against universal healthcare, and against guaranteed paid leave, is now getting all three.

Furry Jesus entered the dealers den and drove out all who were buying and selling there. He overturned the tables of the 3D printers and the benches of those selling pokemon plush. “It is written,” he said to them, “‘My den will be called a den of dealers, but you are making it a den of resellers."

I don't understand being an educator and yet being so cruel.

How did birtherism morph into the "wellness-to-MAGA" pipeline? By tapping into one of America’s darkest obsessions: eugenics. From anti-vax purity culture to Donald Trump's obsession with "good genes," MAHA is just MAGA repackaged for the farmers' market crowd.

On Fri night, Brooklyn court staff forced a woman to give birth inside the courtroom. Per public defenders, she gave birth in handcuffs, unable to reposition herself, unable to pick up her infant. The men who’d shackled her looked on. The judge lauded the birth of a ‘beautiful baby’ on the record.

Whether it's Democrats nominating the son of a Black Kenyan to be president or Republicans being bankrolled by white South Africans nostalgic for apartheid, both parties have notable ties to Africa.

There are people who are brilliant and would’ve excelled in your little meritocratic fantasy world in ways you wouldn’t believe and would have innovated incredible things but it was kept from them. And people can live dignified, incredible lives outside your corporate / capitalist systems.

If you’re going to damn people to suffering and death because they didn’t get the “right degree” or couldn’t afford an education and have been failed by an exploitative capitalist system you’re engaging in a fascist mindset of determining in groups and out groups and you’re part of the problem.

People need to get with the program and realize that classism isn’t just disgusting it is fatal poison to solidarity and necessary organizing against fascism. Fucking knock that fucking shit off.
