Confessions/UO/Irrational Irritations/We Get Its
We haven't done one of these in a while, and I have a good confession that I need to get off my chest.
H was supposed to go away this weekend. Now he's not, so we get to spend the whole weekend together. I feel like I should be excited, but I'm actually disappointed that I don't get the alone time that I was REALLY looking forward to. I feel like this makes me a bad wife.
II: I feel like we aren't supposed to bring other board nonsense over, but I was really annoyed at CC for being skeptical/mean to @QueenofGlitz. We get it, you got catfished. But coming up with extreme conspiracy theories for how she's probably a fake is annoying. You're going to get new posters - this is an internet message board for christ's sake. Not every one of them is out to get you.
UO: I still hate the "everyone has to acknowledge everyone" in the daily posts. By the time I get into them, there are two pages, I have no desire to address everyone, but if I do, I'm an asshole.
Related confession: I feel like every time we talk about it, and people are like "Certain posters who only talk about themselves" they're talking about me.
Now you go.

Re: Confessions/UO/Irrational Irritations/We Get Its
I have to make it known since I'm over on CC fairly often.....those ones who jumped all over @queenofglitz are not the regulars. They are stupid witches who decided they were too cool and left TK 5 months ago. Yet they have no lives and continue to stalk CC so it was basically their whole crew who was burned by MagicInk catfish, and it was them who jump on new posters.
I agree with @swazzle that I don't expect everyone to always respond to everyone but at least try to squeeze in a few people here and there when they have major stuff going on, just to acknowledge that you read people's (general you- not OP specific).
UO: I find small dogs hideous. My friend keeps posting her new some-kind-of-toto terrier on FB and the thing is so ugly to me.
@GoldenPenguin Totally ok to be bummed not to have alone time! I actually had a discussion about this last night with BF, since we've been considering finding a place together... but I have lived with a BF in the past, and he's only ever lived with male roommates (and never alone, where I've lived alone most my adult years). So I was explaining the need for "me" time and how sometimes you just want the other person to GTFO.
I don't know what category this would be... but I am mega (quietly) judgmental about people who get really serious with someone and look like they are moving too fast. Usually it's the same offenders/types of people... those who have either been desperate for a long time (like posting on facebook constantly about wanting a gf/bf and how there is no one around, blah blah) or those who jump from one super serious relationship to another. They will start dating someone and soon post make-out photos and these long-winded confessions of how much they love this other person they met last week. PDA grosses me out anyway, but constant Facebook PDA is worse.
I bring this up today because I've seen a lot of it recently.
And also because I worry that people judge me and BF for not dating very long yet being pretty serious, although neither of us fit into the above categories. We don't post make out pics though, that's yucky.
Confession: I am so afraid of not being able to have a healthy child someday, it makes me so so sad
Confession: I hate feeling so sad and waiting. I am trying so hard to be postive and hopeful and I keep coming up on road blocks.
Confession: My job is really not great and not awful. I just want to stay until I have a baby the stress of a new job right now is not what I need.
I also confess when ever someone mentions people only talk about themselves it's me they are referring to. lol, may be need to just call out who those people are? I know I guilty of it sometimes.
irrational irritation: I got called to cover a shift this morning. Everyone knows I don't have enough time in my life to even take care of myself, and that I basically work three jobs and have school, so what makes them think I'm not gonna be busy on my day off?
Confession: I am sad I can't go to the April g2g and want to see you people irl so bad!!
Confession : I read almost every single word that every person types every day, haha. Sometimes I miss things that people will respond to later on in the thread and I get pissed that I have to go back and look. So now I just read everything. And it takes forever.
Confession: I've totally forgotten how exciting it is to have a new nephew or niece because I already have so god damn many of them. I think my excitement level will ramp back up once my little sister starts having babies, just because we're so close, but sometimes I forget it's a huge freakin deal when your siblings have kids!
@jenna8984 - Why do you even post over there? I genuinely want to know how they have maintained any appeal to you. They're so ridiculous sometimes! And you've expressed your dislike more than once.
@untouchablets I think the oversharing/AWing is what actually bothers me, moreso than a couple getting serious quickly. I'm genuinely happy for IRL friends that leave the details off of fb.
@eilis1228 Joint facebook accounts are the worst. Gross.
I have another confession... I love when BSC posters come here and post something insane and then try to fight off the regs. I read Etiquette solely for that kind of drama.
@GoldenPenguin - Yea. Most of the time I want to be like:
But it's his address/house too, and he doesn't tend to trust people. So I don't push it. Technically he is worrying about himself, haha.
