diamondorloj replied to your post: Boring details about my lifeā¦ [[MOR] Today I...
I know the struggle of placing expectations on me that I wouldnāt push on anyone else, and then berating me for not doing it, and everything else I do is not good enough because Iām not succeeding these expectations. Itās not healthy, and itās unfair. Iām glad you sought help. Iām sure seeing your yard made up by someone will help you see it was the right decision.
You're right. It's *not* fair. And I don't treat other people that way. I shouldn't treat myself that way, either. I wish it were that easy, but I know you understand the struggle. I hope that this experience makes future decisions easier to make as well. :)

replied to your
post
:
ha ha the counselling center canāt find a place...
With the hours my therapist has, I always wondered if therapy was a thing only for unemployed people and students (or you know, people with shifts that vary all the time).
Fuckin, RIGHT?Ā And not office workers who are having their souls slowly extracted from their bodies every single day from 8:30 to 5.Ā Like god, bitch, we need this shit and you make sure we canāt get to it.
Thereās some fucked up paradox in it, like I have the health insurance from the job so I can get the therapy that the job has made me need more, but it can only happen during the hours of the job, ensuring I have to burn up allĀ of my leave?
This is why I get angry and say this shouldnāt have to happen to me.Ā This is fucked up, I shouldnāt have to take medication to be a good functioning office monkey when itās the office making me WORSE.Ā Ā āTake pills so you can do this part of your life that is non-essential and preventable.āĀ Ā
But Iām so worried that finding somewhere else to work wonāt pay for all my pre-existing crazy.
I hate all of this, I wish I could just stop.Ā It feels like this is just always how desperate and futile and treading water my life will be and it fills me with defeated dread.

āhi, Iām not from the USā ask set
given how Americanized this site is, itās important to celebrate all our countries and nationalities - with all their quirks and vices and ridiculousness, and all that might seem strange to outsiders.
For the record, Iāve included previously answered questions.
1. favourite place in your country?
Is it weird if I say my bed?
2. do you prefer spending your holidays in your country or travel abroad?
This is a toss-up. If I could chooseĀ without any consequences it would definitely be abroad. However, holidaying for me has always meant relaxing, preferably near the beach and an occasional stroll around town and maybe, depending on the company, a cultural outing, but Iāve been diagnosed with melanoma in the past and therefore such vacationing is out of the question. So, in actuality, it more often means Iām staying in my country and Iāll go somewhere (or visit friends/family) for a long weekend or something. Itās unfortunate, but Iām pretty sure my two cats are happy with the arrangement.
3. does your country have access to sea?
4. favourite dish specific for your country?
5. favourite song in your native language?
Hmm. I actually donāt listen much to the radio and especially not to songs in my native language specifically. The only one that really comes to mind right now is an older one that I heard a lot in my teens and itās actually a sequel to another song by the same band. Part one is about when a good relationship starts to get rocky, all the dangers threatening their relationship, but that he (the singer) will keep the course because he knows their final destination. Itās pretty hopeful, I guess. Part two is when everything is ending, how theyāre always fighting and love has turned to hate. Both songs have a maritime theme, and in the beginning heās the strong one, the captain whoāll get them through it and in the second itās like their ship has two captains and theyāre steering in opposite directions.
6. most hated song in your native language?
7. three words from your native language that you like the most?
Gezellig - has no direct English translation but basically means something along the lines of cozy, intimate, warm, fun, snug, homey and can be applied to situations (like having a great time with family/friends), an atmosphere or even the interior of a house or something.
Katuitdeboomkijker - has no direct English translation but literally translated means āsomeone who stares a cat out of the treeā and basically means that you tend be a bit reserved and will observe everyone/a situation first before engaging. Often used to describe a personās behavior in social settings.
Mierenneuker - literally translated it means āant fuckerā and is basically the same as a nitpicker or hairsplitter.
8. do you get confused with other nationalities? if so, which ones and by whom?
9. which of your neighbouring countries would you like to visit most/know best?
Iāve already been to all my neighboring countries several times. My least favorite was probably Belgium (no offense, Belgians) although my friends and I did have a blast there when we went there on a week-long school excursion in high school (I think as freshmen or maybe sophomores). I havenāt explored much of Germany yet, so maybe that would be it? I also like the UK and would definitely want to explore more of it (and yes, Iām using UK rather than England because that way thereās more to explore!).
10. most enjoyable swear word in your native language?
Oh my. Hmm. I think Iām going to have to go with ākutā, because of the k-sound which just sounds really good when expressing it in dismay/anger. Itās basically a vulgar word for a womanās private parts and can be used in a similar manner as the English āfuckā. It is not considered as being on the same level of offensiveness as the English cunt. I also like āteringā because you can really draw out the e. Thatās the word for consumption (tuberculosis), by the way, but I only use it as an exclamation (there are variations where people basically wish it on you or, from the olden days, accuse you of suffering from it).
I probably should have prefaced this answer with the fact that in my culture, we tend to use diseases (often dreaded ones from the past) and sex organs in our swearing and profanity (also, often food for insults, like calling someone a pancake for being a dumbass).
11. favourite native writer/poet?
12. what do you think about English translations of your favourite native prose/poem?
Eek! I feel like this answer might disappoint folks, but Iām not a big fan of prose/poems and honestly, couldnāt name one. In my experience, translated written works always seem to lose something in translation though.
13. does your country (or family) have any specific superstitions or traditions that might seem strange to outsiders?
14. do you enjoy your countryās cinema and/or TV?
15. a saying, joke, or hermetic meme that only people from your country will get?
This is a tough one. I think Iām gonna go with a saying, ādoe maar gewoon, dan doe je al gek genoegā, which basically means āact normal, thatās weird enoughā because we donāt like crazy or over the top things.
16. which stereotype about your country you hate the most and which one you somewhat agree with?
17. are you interested in your countryās history?
I feel like this is a trick question and am now wondering if this questionnaire was created by an American or non-American. Why? Because, in comparison, Americans are very patriotic and nationalistic. My country and many in Europe are far less so, not in the least due to having seen the devastation such extremes can bring (WWII). This is not in any way meant as an accusation, itās just an observation and I think, for the context, an important distinction that should be made.
Anyway, to answer the question, Iām not obsessed with my countryās history but am informed. History has never been my favorite subject (dropped it in high school as a freshman) but I do like to learn the origin of certain things in my country/culture.
18. do you speak with a dialect of your native language?
19. do you like your countryās flag and/or emblem? what about the national anthem?
20. which sport is The Sport in your country?
Looking at the Olympics, probably ice skating. But soccer (football for the Americans) comes as a pretty close second and itās definitely one the whole country goes wild for when the national team is in the EC/WC (think: orange madness). Donāt get me wrong, we also like the Olympics but itās not on the same level. Yet.
21. if you could send two things from your country into space, what would they be?
In order to destroy them? Or to make contact with the aliens?
22. what makes you proud about your country? what makes you ashamed?
Like Iāve said in another answer, we donāt really do the whole national pride thing to the same extent as some countries, but I like how weāre so small and yet are pretty good at certain things (water management, infrastructure, sports, agriculture, healthcare, science). My identity is not really tied to my country or vice versa, so I canāt say Iām really ashamed of something my country as a whole has done or does, but we used to be known for being very tolerant and the past decade or so you see more and more intolerance and thatās just a shame.
23. which alcoholic beverage is the favoured one in your country?
Good question. I think maybe beer or wine? A quick google search gave me no definitive answer either.
24. what other nation is joked about most often in your country?
Belgium! Thereās a long standing tradition of us calling the Belgians dumb and, apparently, they do the same thing about us! However, lately, the US is a very hot topic as well.
So, Iād say historically/traditionally the former but in every day conversation and such itās the latter.
25. would you like to come from another place, be born in another country?
I used to feel that way, but now that Iām older I think Iām far more appreciative of my country and culture.
26. does your nationality get portrayed in Hollywood/American media? what do you think about the portrayal?
Yes, sometimes. Theyāre all cliches and many of the stereotypes are very dated. Also, for some reason certain movies/shows like to use the language probably because they feel itās āspecialā since, relatively speaking, so few people speak it worldwide but then they apparently canāt be bothered to actually hire a voice coach who speaks the language and it ends up being incomprehensible for native speakers as they pronounce the wordsĀ often in a mix of German and some kind of Eastern European language or something. Very strange. I mean, why even bother?
27. favourite national celebrity?
Iām not really into celebrities, so Iāll pick the king&queen.
28. does your country have a lot of lakes, mountains, rivers? do you have favourites?
Nope, flat as a pancake as we like to say.
29. does your region/city have a beef with another place in your country?
Not really, anymore. We just have a long standing tradition of mocking the Belgians for their lack of intelligence and accusing Germans of stealing our grandparentsā bikes.
30. do you have people of different nationalities in your family?

How do you guys get so many of those in one ask???
Okay.
šDescribe your aesthetic in emojis.Ā Forgive me because Iām older than this concept and Iām bad at hip lingo. I *think* this means to list emojis that describe me. If Iām wrong... sorry! (Also, Iām on a computer like an ancient one, so Iām c&p these things...)š©āš»ššš¼āThat took forever and I donāt know that itās a very good representation of me, but there it is!š- would you rather live in a sea with mermaids or a forest with fairies?I guess the forest, as long as itās not a forest in the deep south. ;) Itās freaking hot, even in the shade!Ā Ā
šÆ- describe your favorite smellI love things that are earthy, maybe woodsy, and a touch masculineš- what is your favorite holiday?Iām not actually all that into holidays. I live alone, I donāt have kids... most holidays pass me by with very little fanfare. But, if I had to choose, perhaps Christmas just because I love the tree and I like seeing my folks.
š¼- what is your favorite memory?This is embarrassing, but I might have to come back to this at a later date. Iām having trouble withĀ āfavoriteā. I have lots of good memories but Iām not the kind that has a mental āhappy placeā I go to.
š- have you ever been in love?Yeah. Or, as much as I think you can be without the other person reciprocating. I think (hope?) itās a different feeling experience when itās mutual.Thanks babe!
