Mine? As miserable as ever. My little bro wanted to go to a little comic con thing, is just not my vibe, felt surrounded by people in weird costumes is just... Thankfully I was there for like half an hour.

I had a job interview Friday and no one was there to interview me. Apparently HR dropped the ball. It’s 110 outside and I’m homeless and living out of a car atm. We had thunderstorms which meant rolling up the windows. I only have a few bucks left and therefore cannot run the AC because of gas. Once the storms were over it was back to 110 but with nearly 100% humidity and even more sweating. I’m currently stealing WiFi to write this out and I’m hungry AF. So yea, bummer about your 30 minutes.

There are mutual aid communities on lemmy where you might be able to find someone willing to send you some cash through an app. Good luck.

Yeah it was a weird experience.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes that sounds like nothing compared to the hellish experience of being forced to go to comic con.

I think you're making fun of me but trust me it was not ok

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (1 children)

"Making fun" isn't quite right, but they were definitely being sarcastic. I think people throughout this thread are encouraging you to be less self-absorbed so that you can 1. Enjoy things around you without feeling like you're being judged for it, and 2. Develop empathy for those you interact with.

I know it seems trite, but it's important to realize that social interactions are way more fun if you pay attention to other people and are curious about them.

It really sounds trite. I just don't think I'll ever change. I'm aware enough that I'm not emphatic. That's just isn't me and I almost never enjoy things, even the things I do for myself.
