Hello again Now Grinch would that be Dewey Decimal Classification, Library of Congress or by size of book? Dewey Decimal, naturally. Only way to live after all.

Hello again.
Sorry Grinch couldn't resist that... many moons ago I was a supply library assistant for Somerset County Libraries, I had to do a shelf sort during my interview.

Being told to be less happy and optimistic.

Hello again.
What?! Seriously Timegirl? You were told to be less happy. Which cynical, life-sapping individual told you that? Dreadful. We need both types of people the cynical, pragmatic and pessimistic as well as the idealistic, optimistic and happy.
I have two musical items that line from Elton John's Your Song: 'But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song, It's for people like you that keep it turned on.'
I'm also reminded of the Madness song 'How can I tell you.' which I think is about a father remembering funny things he's done with his kids and trying to give them some advice about living in the adult world.
You’re Gonna Have To Walk That Road You’re Gonna Bear Some Heavy Loads You’ll Make Mistakes And You’ll Come Close Youre Gonna Get Hurt By The One You Love Most You’re Gonna Have To Take Some Pain Accept The Loss To Live Again Forgive Yourself And You’ll Be Free There’s More To Love Than Just Loving You See...
There's more than one way to live a life and no one has the right to criticize you unless you are doing yourself or anyone else harm. All the best Timegirl and anyone else dealing with overly critical individuals who are just interested in stepping on people.

Aww thanks 😊 I am probably over reacting, I guess I just like to think positively about certain things and don’t like my parade rained on.

Being told to be less happy and optimistic. What a stupid thing to say to you, whoever said that needs get a life & look to you for inspiration, you are a beacon of light that shines on this forum, a person who reminds me there are still kind caring people in the world.

One major pet peeve I have with myself is I have a tendency to worry about everything. If something can potentially go wrong I will agonize over it. Like I have a long mental list of worries that I go through and sometimes have lengthy repetitive discussions with my parents looking for reassurance that these things won’t happen. My mom tries to reassure me but sometimes she says “How would I know? I can’t predict the future.” Which I know she’s trying her best but sometimes that makes me even more nervous and anxious about things going wrong. I think it is hereditary, my mom’s sister worries a lot too, and their mom (my nanny) worried all the time too. I often worry about everything from big things going wrong to mundane little things.
For example I have an on and off obsessive habit of asking my parents if certain foods will hurt my skin and give me acne because when I was younger I had really bad skin problems. My parents constantly reassure me that we don’t buy unhealthy food and not to worry. Precovid it was real problem for me when ever I ate out because I would agonize over if the food was too greasy and if it would effect my skin. I once almost had a panic attack on the way home from the beach because my mom insisted on us sharing a huge bucket of French fries instead of eating actual dinner and it made me so paranoid that my skin was going to be covered in acne by the morning that I actually started crying. I haven’t had this problem as much recently but I still worry a bit about my skin every day. Typing this out I am suddenly realizing how ridiculous I must sound but it is a problem for me.
More recently I have been worrying about my creative project and how it feels like it will never happen. I want it to work so much but there are a thousand things that would need to go exactly right for it to happen! As a related point, I often feel really self conscious about my creative ideas thinking that they are too weird or stupid or childish or will be horribly misinterpreted from what I was trying to say.
Another major worry that I have had my entire life is that I will never make anything of myself and never achieve anything remarkable creatively and be stuck in a mundane dead end job that I hate. I constantly have to combat feeling like a looser all time which I think my rejection sensitive Dysphoria contributes a lot to. Sometimes I say to myself that “I hate my brain” even though I don’t or think that no one likes me but my parents, even though I know I have friends.
Sorry if that was a lot. I know I must sound ridiculous and a bit too much.

You are a inventive person with great personality it just sometimes life has a way of overwhelming us. My advice take one idea at a time & give yourself time to switch off & have fun, Rome wasn't but in a day.

How the media and general population stereotype ADHD as something that only misbehaving little boys have who can’t sit still. I have always known that I have learning disabilities (I was in special Ed classes most of my school years) but I nor anyone else had never figured out that I have adhd because of that stereotype. I only finally figured it out myself this past year because I saw an adhd education comic about the difference between adhd storytelling and neurotypical storytelling. I recognized the way adhd storytelling as something I have done my entire life. This prompted me to do a lot more research and as it turns out I have all the symptoms that the media and general public don’t talk about like time blindness, hyper fixation, creative thinking and rejection sensitive Dysphoria. Everything makes so much more sense about myself after realizing that I have adhd! I think another reason why no one ever considered that I have adhd is I am generally (not always) a very shy quiet person and the stereotype of someone with adhd is that they are very loud and won’t stop talking. I learned that there are different types of adhd and there are many very quiet and shy people with adhd. Even though there are a lot of struggles for me with my adhd I am still glad I finally figured out why I am the way I am.
I really hope that the way adhd is perceived by the media and the general public changes to show that it isn’t as simple as just something misbehaving like boys do that can’t sit still it’s far more complex than that with many advantages and disadvantages.
I am not just saying this, but the Doctor (despite being an alien), particularly 12 but also all the incarnations is one of the only good layered portrayals of someone who has ADHD/neurodiverse that actually goes into adhd thought process, RSD, time blindness, and hyper fixation.
Sidenote: I have also wondered if I might be autistic as well as having adhd because I have heard that when people have both it can be harder to tell since symptoms can overlap and cancel each other out.

Dickheads moaning at Snake In Eagle Shadow scene where the cat & snake fight being trimmed, erm it was filmed for real = animal cruelty so no way would BBFC allow that scene uncut.
I usually against censorship but this makes sense as I'm against cruelty to animals, all the fight scenes are uncut & the 88 Films blu ray has a fantastic loking & sounding print.

That all horror as a genre is bad and should be destroyed.
I got a bit annoyed with my aunt recently. She sells dvds on online that people give away on the curb and some of them happened to be horror movies. She said that rather than sell or give the horror dvds to a charity shop would throw them out in the trash because why should people spread more horror than what’s already out there plus it could convince someone to commit a crime if they watched it 🙄 Then she asked me to agree with her. I love my aunt dearly I do, but she is a conservative Christian, which I am not, and often asks me to agree with her on things that I would instinctively oppose. I politely told her I disagree with her because someone might enjoy the movies and she said they might but they shouldn’t and then today she threw them away in my trash. I almost was tempted to fish them out after she left to prove a point that there still might be value in them but my mom told me not to because I can watch anything streaming. I don’t know it just really annoys me about being told horror has no value at all as a genre! I don’t like all types of horror, like I don’t like anything to do with torture, but I do still feel like the horror genre has a lot of intelligence, creativity and value in it. I mean just look at classic literature Frankenstein and Dracula. There is a lot you can say about society in the genre. Plus I think some of the monsters from horror movies are very sympathetic and fascinating to watch. More often than not I usually emphasize with the werewolves, vampires, Frankenstein’s monster, and Gill man more than am scared of them. Also without the horror genre we would not have some of the best episodes of Doctor Who.It may also be because my Pop-pop (grandfather) was a massive sci-fi and horror nerd who never wasn’t watching something with monsters or aliens in it that I have a soft spot for the genre. I just too really don’t like any genre being devalued as being worthless.

I just too really don’t like any genre being devalued as being worthless. Totally agree with you timegirl .. I have been a H/C horror movie buff/fanatic/enthusiast/regular watcher since the mid 80's (sci fi as well equally)- all the sub genres etc I equally enjoy. A movie is just that, a movie. If you can't differentiate real life vs fantasy then there are deeper problems there. Plus the irony of the violence/wars around the world since "forever" are mostly due to religion. That is fact, not hating.. :-)

Getting extremely embarrassed of my own creative ideas, opinions, and things I interested in so much that I start blushing uncontrollably and sometimes talking to myself😳
Does anyone else do this?
A pet peeve I have with myself is wanting something to happen so badly on things I am working on and towards that I constantly day dream about it and worrying that it will never happen because of things out of my control.

A pet peeve I have with myself today is reading something that shouldn’t upset me, but it still makes me cry. But I feel bad for crying because I feel like no one would understand why it upset me and think I was over reacting.
