The spite, hate, rage, apathy and mild irritation thread...

[snipelfritz]

I like how they go to the effort to create an entire bill in protest, but they can't come up with their own legislation to solve health care issues. I also like how conservatives go crazy about illegal immigrants and poor people getting free care at public hospitals, but hate the only proposed solution that doesn't conflict with the Hippocratic Oath. I also like how I can say "I like" about something when I'm really being sarcastic and I don't like it at all.

I hate it when my mom starts asking me about things I don't want to talk about, and I make it very obvious that I don't want to talk about things because there is nothing to talk about(which is really why I don't want to talk about it). Then I say, "I really don't want to talk about it." To which she responds, "Why don't you want to talk about it?" Any time I talk to her she just hears what she wants to hear anyway and reads way too much into things that don't need it, yet she is completely oblivious when I'm trying to say something to her. Gah, I hate living with my parents. Every time I talk to them I feel like I'm taking some kind of exam. Even things like "What did you do today?' is a question I have to answer very carefully.

yeah parental conversations are lame. but my parents smoke weed once in a while so it's cool. regardless, my mom feels the need to tell me disturbing things that she hears. she thinks that if she has to live with it, everyone else should. but they could care less what i do. smoke,drink, etc which is pretty cool. now i just need to quit my job so i can start smoking again

Wait, wait.

People live in South Dakota? Or even North?!

SERIOUSLY. NO MOAR SNOW.

My back hurts from all the goddamn shoveling, and my brain hurts from lack of school.

Although I don't see you're mom as the great communicator here due to the bolded text in the quote,...I have to say that communication is the crux of any meaningful long term relationship. If and when you get married or form a committed partnership be prepared to talk about things you don't want to talk about. Be prepared to have to say things that might hurt the other person or incriminate yourself (best way to avoid that is to not cross boundaries).

It's not fun and can be downright exhausting at time; but communication is the only way to problem solve and I found the best way to form a meaningful relationship (not that that's what you are looking for at your age [21, yes?]). If you don't communicate with your partner or your partner doesn't communicate with you,...be prepared for resentment, deception, lies and a short relationship.

Sorry for the unsolicited advice,...but you should use these opportunities to brush up on your communications skills,...they will come in handy down the road. The best part of my relationship with my wife is we never go to bed angry with one another and we communicate through our problems, come up with reasonable solutions and grow and become better because of it. We know where we stand and what our boundaries are. Never in the past have I ever had a woman that was open with me. The sex is pretty awesome too. [/ego rant]

this weather sucks dick

I sincerely hope that I suddenly die before becoming a difficult old person. Living with old people sucks. Well, the ones that suck anyway.

[snipelfritz]

My theory, it's not that old people are difficult and boring. It's that difficult and boring people are the only ones who live that long. I'm not incredibly fond of old people either, but the one thing that annoys the shit out of me about them is when they make the same joke over and over again yet laugh at it hysterically every single time.

I was just kinda venting, but I put it out there. No need to apologize. And I understand and do try to do a lot of the things you mentioned It was really just this specific instance. I recently took a leave from college and moved back home(yes I'm 21 you stalker) after having some, erm, issues, and I basically wanted to start everything over with a clean slate. Six months later, my mom starts asking me if I have talked to my old friends at all even people from high school. They haven't really contacted me at all or responded much when I've contacted them which is kind of depressing, but I don't want to outright say that. There really isn't any reason for the "falling out," some of us had already just kind of grown apart even before I left. I also don't mean to blame it on them and act like they forgot me while I'm still trying to stay in the loop; I could make it happen if I really wanted to. Like I said, I just made the decision to restart my life in pretty much every way and I simply suck at maintaining long-distance friendships.

My mother also has a way of digging up issues that I've thought about way too much and had caused me considerable anxiety months after they were at all relevant. I finally get over these things and then she brings them up out of nowhere. This was connected to a number of those issues. Last week she also brought up issues about school(another big source of anxiety) that I felt we had discussed numerous times over six months ago acting like she didn't have a clue. She starts going through all of these obvious concerns like they are something I haven't thought about before.

I'd be more open with them if I thought they would really listen and wouldn't simply respond by making ridiculous assumptions and lecturing me. When that happens, I tune them out. Lately, I've tried to make it obvious I'm not listening, but they never seem to get the hint. Gah, I need something to finish off this purge-fest. Maybe I'll smack the drums(I accidentally typed "drugs" at first, Freudian slip?) a bit.

I hope you've all enjoyed a healthy dose of my problems. Thank the lord for the anonymity of the Internet. I know what to talk about at my next counseling appointment now.

my grandma and grandpa are the most awesome old people ever

they are also closer to me than any other member of my whole family...

i'm gonna be so fucked when they die

[unownunown]

i think boring old people were usually boring young people

my great grandma just turned 100 and she's probably one of the most interesting people i've ever met. i love that woman and i truly believe she's going to outlive the entire family.

[dubkitty]

all people are difficult.

[Achtane]

Well, I have no problem with them doing old people stuff like repeating jokes and such , but my aunt tells me she's dying everrryyyyyy sinnnnggllleee dayyyyy, multiple times a day. Yeah, I know your vision sucks, but it's been that way for the past 15 years. It ain't changing. There's no need to tell me how bad your eyes are that often. I hear it 12 times a day on average, I bet. You don't need to walk into my room at 3 in the morning and flip the fucking light switch just to tell me that your eyes are bad and you "can't get your breath". IT'S NOT YOUR BREATHING, CLEAR YOUR THROAT. THAT'S WHAT IT IS. I KNOW THAT'S WHAT IT IS BECAUSE I'VE BEEN THROUGH THIS 20 THOUSAND TIMES NOW. Same with "I'm not gonna make it", among other things. It's always about how rough she has it. And don't whine about how you can't do anything when you aren't willing to do anything. I'm not talking about huge tasks, either. You could listen to some music or something, even listen to the TV, "but my eyes...". I don't think you need vision to hear things, but okay. Maybe sitting around all day, drowning in your own misery and spreading it around is the only way you can feel comfortable.

Seems like after so long you'd FUCKIN' GET OVER IT, but I guess not.

You can't be all doom and gloom 24/7, but apparently you can give it your best shot! Being around her is draining most of the time...it sucks to put it that way, but...that's how it is.

I think this post makes me look like a bad guy. I only expressed the negative qualities. Of which there are many.

Communication is a two way street and it's impossible to talk to bad listeners,...which is way I made the mum not being a great communicator comment. Even so there is always something positive you can glean from a negative experience, which is what I was trying to communicate.

Speaking of nearly deads,...I can't stand the thought of being preserved and put in a box after I die, or cremated. I don't know anything about funerals but if my family can do it for free,...I'd support that. I don't feel a great connection between my spirit and my body,...I'd be happy if someone just dug a hole and threw my dead body into it and placed a little marker with my name or maybe plant a tree.

My wife wants to be mummified in honey,...that sounds like an expensive chore I don't want to do, like going to the laundromat.
