Other peoples issues are distracting. Isn't that why people watch soap operas? I figure if I get a flat tire or something, I'm going to go on a killing spree and laugh my head off at my arraignment.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I get that thing where I have loads of shame around how much I suck too. I don't have any good advice for how to unload that shame. But I do know that it's best not to wallow in it, and to try and counter it with feelings of love and gratitude.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hahahah! I wish.
Don't worry, I often wish I could be Meara, what with the dancing and funniness and the traveling and the killer smile.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Tom is currently going through something similar and I honestly can't see why he thinks he's a failure. It's baffling and frustrating. And makes me want to snuggle him for hours until he can let it go.
ION, our old house continues to haunt us and fuck up our lives. Fuck you, old house.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I may be in need of an alibi, if this day continues like it has. Multiple students are pissing me off on different projects at the same time. I keep thinking of that Woody Woodpecker episode of "If only Woody had gone straight to the police, non of this would have ever happened". Please, students, listen to me! I have knowledge. Experience. Why must you over complicate things?
::sigh::

Because books.
I'm objectively sucking right now
I think this might depend on who's objectivity we're talking about.
I also get that fear of "if we talk about it, then everyone will agree and it will be Official That I Suck," but it really rarely happens that way.
Either way, I'm sorry you're going through it.
I think I'm going to keep my "who's" mistake up there, just for you, Tep.

It is a totally understandable fear, which is why the evil Depression Monsters like to beat people with it. I'm sorry you're going through it, and THE DEPRESSION MONSTERS ARE LYING LYING FUCKHEADS.
Hugs, sympathy, and ~ma to anyone who needs or wants.
Me, I'm telling myself I can get through today, and then January will be OVER. Things will be better (for me, at least) when it's not January.
