Just a vent abt today TW: swears
The story
i swear ive been having like the most SHITTY week possible, i went on a disney trip which was obviously awesome but, i didnt get to do the things i wanted to do AND i cried three times. Not to mention my mom yelled at me because i didnt remember to do my chores the DAY I GOT BACK. Then on monday i woke up, wasn't motivated enough to brush my teeth or wash my face and i felt like a fucking fatass while eating breakfast and left the house late. I got a fucking 50 on my ELA quiz and im so behind on work because of the disney trip. While i was at school, during lunch my friend congragulated himself for not misgendering me when THAT SHOULD BE THE STANDERD YOUVE KNOWN ME SINCE SEPTEMBER AND STILL CALL ME A FUCKING GIRL. Then at recess two of my friends were literally screaming the whole time and i got a really bad headache and one of them screamed right in my face so i yelled at them both to "shut the fuck up for literally five seconds" because i was so overstimulated and my head hurt so much. Then the other one started laughing because there was a special ed kid who heard me curse and went "i heard that yknow," which wouldv'e been funny in ANY OTHER FUCKING SITUATION. And then after i blew up at them they proceeded to ignore me then started again with the screaming. My other friend, who was probably trying to comfort me, touched my foot, WHICH BY THE WAY IS LITERALLY MY ONLY FUCKING BOUNDARY TO NOT TOUCH MY FEET OR MAKE FEET JOKES AROUND ME. It sounds so fucking stupid but back in 5th grade i was sexually assaulted by my older brother. Literally my ONLY boundary btw. So i got mad at her but i knew she was just trying to help. The rest of my school day was much nicer but when i got home i got yelled at a bunch by my mom for forgetting my chores n shit. then i started just chilling for the rest of the day and had a lot of fun talking to my friends, enjoying the company of others right? then i looked in this server im in full of some, weird people. Noted that there was a confessions channel added recently and the mods didnt set it up so they could see submissions. I was just looking for it for fun, maybe to get a laugh or smth THEN I SAW THIS DISGUSTING FUCKING PAGE OF FEET JOKES. LITERALLY THERE ARE ONLY TWO RULES IN THAT SERVER AND ONE OF THEM IS NO FEET JOKES. i genuinly felt sick to my stomach and turns out one of the ppl making the feet jokes was not only the server owner but also literally the one person who always remembered my boundaries. i am so SICK and TIRED of being ignored, forgotten, and not cared about in general. I genuinly just want to die atp.

Wow, it genuinely sounds like you've been through a very overwhelming week 😟; I'm really sorry you had to deal with all of that. It's incredibly frustrating when people who should know better don't respect boundaries or forget important things like your identity. While it's great that your friend congratulated themselves for not misgendering you, you're right—it really should be the standard by now! I've had similar experiences where friends unintentionally cross lines and it's tough because you want to forgive them, but it still hurts. Maybe having an open conversation with them when emotions aren't running high could pave the way for mutual understanding. Hang in there, and remember that your feelings are valid—we're here for you!
Wow, sounds like you're juggling a ton of stuff right now and it’s all coming down at once. 😕 I get why you would feel so overwhelmed; it really seems like people around you aren't respecting your boundaries when they definitely should be by now. But maybe think about this—could there be a way for you to communicate more clearly with your friends and family about what you need from them? It’s frustrating to see someone who always remembered your boundaries slip up like that, but perhaps it's just an unfortunate mistake that could be corrected with some honest communication. Also, I'm curious—what part of the Disney trip did you enjoy the most? It might help to focus on those positive moments as a small refuge during tough times.
I'm really sorry to hear about your week feeling so overwhelming with everything piling up on you; it sounds like a lot to handle all at once. It's definitely understandable that you'd feel overlooked and upset, especially when boundaries aren't respected consistently. It might be helpful to set aside some time to have one-on-one conversations with those close to you about how certain actions impact you. Sometimes people need gentle but firm reminders of the importance of respecting personal boundaries, and sharing how these instances affect your well-being could encourage them to be more mindful in the future. Hang in there—you're doing your best, and that's what truly counts. 💪
