#Christmas parties suck

[kthulhu42]

went to a work Christmas party where I didn't know anyone except the person who invited me, who was talking to her boss so I just kinda hid on a couch in the corner

And there was a TIF sitting nearby who asked about my shirt - I said "It's from a TV show from the 70s, super dated now but I loved it as a kid so my partner bought me the vintage shirt"

And this fucking person IMMEDIATELY unlocks their phone and starts searching up any "drama" or "problematic" aspects (it's a show from the 70s, there are. So. many) and begins to LIST them to me in this "how COULD you support this" voice

And I'm just chilling like "well this is fun, got into an unintentional purity spiral of judgement from this fucking dweeb" and my friend comes over and immediately clocks the situation and drags me out of there before I start some shit on this idiot child

And like, how do you fucking live on this earth while being like this. How do you move through your day-to-day without collapsing. Like you had *no idea* that this shirt or this show existed, and you went and looked it up *just* so you could give me shit? Do you have *any* friends? Is this why you were sitting alone in the corner at your OWN work Christmas party? Because you have approximately zero social skills? Because you think a great way to connect with total strangers is to give them a lecture?

#Christmas parties suck #Purity spiral #Cancel culture #This idiot didn't start on the big dude wearing a rap artist shirt because that could be scary #That guy might not react well to criticism #So let's bug the total stranger lady sitting alone to make ourselves feel like we Did A Thing

Happy New Year to me, I have Covid :)))))

#NAUR!!!!! NAURRRRR!!!!! #Shima speaks #My roommate brought it home from his family’s Christmas party 😭 #And it sucks bc we planned a huge New Year’s Eve party. AND our first DND session which we can’t have now. #Listen I wouldn’t be as upset but I was literally sick like TWO weeks ago #With the worst stomach bug known to man #And now I’ve got the rona. AGHHH #I literally got Covid last year on December 23rd. For Christmas #And this year I got it at New Year’s. I DON’T LIKE THIS TREND #Here’s to hoping my symptoms are very mild and I won’t be dying from fever tomorrow ;)))) #Godddd this SUCKS. This sucks so bad

Sound Sensitivity

#here is some unrelated artwork i'll be posting occasionally for now on #this might seem confusing to you (and I'm not talking specifically about the drawing) #i don't usually bring up anything about my personal problems but this one really is a thing #all i have to tell you. person reading the tags. is that sound sensitivity really fucking sucks. #and if someone reading this has sound sensitivity well i do hope the people around you are understanding of your condition #and that you find efficient ways to diminish the impact it has on you #whether if it's by using noise cancelling headphones. by leaving the loud environment or by learning to focus on something else #/// #this christmas i'm receiving a noise cancelling headphone from my bsf #im very happy and so thankfull for them #this gift is appreciated by my younger self #who. during birthday parties. couldnt stand anywhere close to ballons #who cried at the sounds of fireworks #who cried in class numerous times because it was too much #who was accused of faking it and blamed for ruining everyone's fun time #i remember being very confused and scared #my art #eye strain #artists on tumblr

having mommy issues be like I hate that you know me I hate that we’re related I hate that you birthed me I hate that you don’t know how to love me properly I hate that you can’t see how much you hurt me I hate that I’m expected to love you

#cy says stuff #I moved out when I was 17 for a reason #but I do still go back to visit when schools out sometimes and I regret it every single time #every time we talk I’m like damn is it time to call it quits because this is not it #I literally feel like I’m constantly on the brink of being disowned or kicked out of the house when I’m there #but it’s also for things like. bringing a single bottle of wine to a Christmas party that I did not even drink #or like. moving in with my partner of 4 years. because we are going to the 2nd most expensive city in Canada and girl I cannot pay the rent #or being upset when she reads my diary ?? or reads my credit card statements without permission and also just like behind my back?? #like do you think I’m not going to find out when you bring up information you only would’ve known if you had read those things #I can put two and two together… #also I’m literally almost done my university degree. i am fully an adult. these should not be issues ! #ahhhhh!!! #anyways I will speak to my therapist about this lol #also y’all my friends are always like oh I love my mom and it just seems to be a socially accepted thing that you should love your mom #but what if your mom sucks what then #I genuinely cannot relate to them I’m like literally what does that feel like #the first time I felt loved was when I was 15 lol there is 0 love in my family #anyways ! #it’s okay I am out of it and I have been out of it #just #always on the brink of cutting her off forever lol #some ppl just never change as much as you want them to and that is tough to accept. #it is also harder because society is telling my that I need to stay loyal to my family cause they’re blood #but if this were anyone else I would’ve blocked them so long ago 😭

Drifters White Christmas erasure (and I’m a Christmas music hater)

no no, you're right. unfortunately i can't listen to it in any other context other than it's inclusion in home alone (1990) because i'm under oath that the only song i can listen to with full consent in the month of december is wham!'s last christmas.

#sci speaks #my spotify is locked on wham!'s last christmas for an entire month. #i can be subjected to other songs in the shopping malls if it's in my periphera but i cannot consent to listening to any other songs. #WHY is drifters white christmas never playing in the malls. #it's always michael buble and i HATE michael buble. #sorry michael buble. #also that horrible sia song. i hate sia too. sorry sia. #actually i'm not sorry sia. you suck sia. #christmas music haters are the most valid people ever. me too anon. i hate christmas music so much. #i went to a christmas party the other day and the singing started and i wanted to die so much. #the worst part of it was they started singing wham!'s last christmas and i was like finally. some good music. #and the backing track CUT OFF and they sang mariah carey instead and it felt like i was being personally victimised.

The real reason Home Alones 3+ never involved Kevin was that in Home Alone 2, as opposed to the first one, this time he left his name and hometown with the evidence for the police, and as we see with Mr. Dunkin being able to find him and have a bunch of toys delivered to the hotel room literally overnight, he had to have asked the police about it, and they basically immediately knew who Kevin was

Which means, they definitely ended up having to talk to his parents, because Kevin was an eyewitness to Marv and Harry's crimes, and also was literally threatened with and almost murdered

So he at the very least would have been questioned by the police, if not required to be in court, and his patents would have to be involved, which means his family is finding out what happened

The response to this is that on any subsequent trips, they are handcuffing Kevin to Peter, Kate, or both, and no one makes any moves without knowing where he is at all times, so he simply Does Not get the opportunity again

#guess who rewatched Home Alone 2 again #tis my favorite Christmas movie i cannot help it #first time i saw it was in 6th grade #at a Christmas party it was at the brick part and i literally just stood there enraptured by it/having a category 10 Autism Moment #home alone fanfic sucks ass btw‚ i read a bunch and there were only like #2 good ones so #anyways there a home alone fandom here? #home alone #home alone 2 #kevin mcallister #<< well theres tags for it at least

me as a kid: haha birthdays are so silly, i wouldn't want a party i would hate to have to cleanup afterwards!!

me as an adult: if i stepped into any room full of people who thought my existence was inherently worth celebrating i would immediately curl up and cry hysterically about it

#me: aha christmas n new years r coming up but i got this i am okay #*remembers my birthday is also coming up somewhat* oh ): #my friends irl do not care about me and i doubt one of them is going to even last until my birthday #i.. i don't even know enough ppl to try hosting a party and inviting myself. this yr has been hell. and I've done well at handling it #but like. 😐 #it's still been a pretty bad year overall... idk. family oriented times of the yr are ROUGH!! especially the first yr u spend alone #this has been my first year alone in like seven or eight years and it sucks!!!!! #and I'm stuck this way bc im too rent burdened to actually go out as often as i need to and Meet People 😐 #i could go on multiple long wants bc there's Layers but akakfkalal i just want a long hug ｡⁠:ﾟ⁠(⁠;⁠´⁠∩⁠`⁠;⁠)ﾟ⁠:⁠｡ #rly don't want to work today and just want to curl up in bed n play my game

[thepentangle]

I so don't want to go to the NYE party but I also don't want to let down my friend who's organising 😔

#i thought taking time off would make me feel better but I've just been crying every night since christmas i feel like im gonna have some #kind of breakdown at this party... #this sucks so much cause i really wanted to go last year but she cancelled cause she got covid

[dylanconrique]

just had a hysterical breakdown at the thought of chenford showing up at a christmas party with lucy cradling their newborn daughter while going around and giving everyone hugs, and tim trailing behind her with a locked and loaded dipar bag. 😭😭😭💗💗

#*and this is icarly! #the rookie #tim bradford #lucy chen #chenford #otp: you know me so well #i haven't slept and it's 5am so you can imagine how mentally unstable i am rn #in my chenford pregnancy (that i honestly gave up on when i accidentally deleted my old account) #their daughter is born on dec. 9th lucy's dod #and the thought of them showing up at a christmas party with their newborn baby in hand is making me so 🥺😭🤧💗 #the grinch's heart grew 3 sizes today #(lol retail has sucked the life out of any remaining holiday spirit i had left in me i hat christmas)

[fortheb0ys]

i'm in the trenches (early stages of a cold + first day of period) only a miracle (ibuprofen) can save me now

#text post #had to cancel my works christmas party because i don't want to give anyone my cold #this sucks boohoo i already had thought of an outfit and everything #and the food is usually bougie and good

[aerisfelidae]

"Well having a birthday so close to Christmas means that you get DOUBLE the presents!!" Have any of u actually talked to a person with a December birthday because I promise u that's not usually how it goes

#might as well just not have a birthday tbh #like you get one present if youre lucky #or if you get two then the second is like a pack of smarties or smth #i dont even get a birthday party #its just a Christmas party where they stick a candle in the dessert and sing happy birthday and then go back to Christmas #and like im old enough now that its like whatever but it really sucked to not really have an 18th #or a 21st #just sad tbh #jesus owes me financial compensation tbh #December #birthday #december birthday #aeris.txt

[thornsnvultures]

I miss when I looked forward to November and December. Now all I feel is anxious and stressed. Christmas is canceled I'm not doing all that this year. Just put me in a coma until January.

#i have 5 family birthdays over the next two months #one of those is my kid who wants to throw a big party with all his friends and it's like #we can barely make ren ft #* rent #i want him to have a good christmas and a good birthday #and it sucks knowing that i can't give him the things he wants #i wish it was still october #it went by too fast #sorry for complaining #dnrb

[yohankang]

i was like 'wow it's christmas and it's surprisingly calm' bc every year without a fail we have a huge family fight.... i spoke too soon

#i mean it sucks for me but at the same time. it's so fucking funny #if i had a nickel for every time my parents were throwing divorce papers at each other on christmas day i would have 5 nickels which- #like i'm fine i really am i will throw a party when they finally divorce but it's annoying hearing them shout at each other #meanwhile me and my brothers are like 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️🧍 #i just want to watch my dramas in peace #k.txt
