Something’s not right

I don’t feel belonged

I don’t feel belonged

I just know that I don’t feel belonged in any social settings, like EVER.

Thats part of the reason why I chose to volunteer at my current fav role (kinda) on a fortnightly basis instead of weekly, but also why I don’t wanna look for any work because the coworkers side of things is the part that I care most about than the role itself, especially if the majority of the coworkers consist of the people around my age and are in the same generation as me. I get jealous when everyone else in my age group talk to each other but I’m the only one that isn’t part of any conversations with them.

Well today is the day I’m meant to go and volunteer there, but I’m not gonna go there anyway cause I’m already tired from heading out of home 4 days a week. Plus, also because of the other reason I mentioned above.

Actually, the other volunteer there that I was planning to work with for every shift now is actually not gonna be there today either from what she told me last fortnight. But yeah.

I know why I come off as unapproachable to many people, pretty much everyone. But at the same time, that’s not something that I can expect myself to change or that other people can expect me to change…because I’ve always been like this ever since I was in childcare… when

I just wish many people, especially the people in my generation (Gen

z) can accept that, but they don’t. They just all choose to avoid talking to me. I usually don’t talk to people first because that’s what I always do & im scared to do that.

Re: I don’t feel belonged

Hi @rav3n haha oh no hopefully not! So I hope my skin won’t get worse during my time there. Luckily though I have seen vlogs & stuff from other foreigners that have been to Korea only for a holiday trip & none of them seemed to have gotten any skin issues from being in Korea so maybe I’m overthinking xD

oh I’ll be sure to share some when I’m there!

yes, I managed to get a reaaaally good deal from this flight service - the service is called Aunt Betty (this company is owned by Flight Centre). Well I actually stumbled across Aunt Betty through the skyscanner website, which is the one my OT referred me to (skyscanner) & thanks to her, I was able to get the tickets from Aunt Betty online that were worth $877 via economy class!!!

@rav3n forgot to answer your last question, and I’m currently almost finished with uni this semester. I just need to do my second attempt at this math test only for the questions that I got wrong during my first attempt (it’s only a few questions I got wrong) but GODDDD I HOPE I CAN GET 100% FOR THIS ONE

because for pretty much most of the assessments in these units, you only get 2 attempts and you need to get 100% for every single assessment in order for you to pass the unit or else you’d have to redo the unit the following year..

@rav3n @tyme my mum talks way too damn much regarding what I need to do and what I can pack and blah blah blah blah like GOSSSSHHHHHHH SHATAAAAPPP!!

sorry, I know she means well cause she’s my mother but yea it is annoying at the same time hearing her talking so much about this and that etc.

You're not wrong there @Blackcloud !

That's my mum too. I learn to show respect but sitting there...but I noticeably tune in and out.

Hence I don't live with my mother 🙂

Gawd, I know I still love her - but at an arm's length.

I don't think they can help themselves hahahaha

@tyme

exactly, like the way my mum tells me things even though I already know what to do with those that she’s telling me make it seem like she thinks I don’t know about it already or whatever, at least that’s the impression that it’s giving me and it’s sooooo fricken annoying to hear her telling me this and that like more than once. Even the things that I already know WELL on what I need to do.

Re: I don’t feel belonged

Can you reframe that to just say, "She cares"? @Blackcloud

In response to: Re: I don’t feel belonged

Re: I don’t feel belonged

@tyme i mean, yeah she cares. But I hate how she cares ‘too much’ about it as if, according to her, “I don’t know everything”
