What a terrible Thanksgiving this has been


Kyoshi Frost Wolf

Like clockwork. I was actually looking forward to Thanksgiving. Going to my mom's or something, having a nice meal, hanging out with family. nah, didn't fucking happen. I went to my grandma's, on my dad's side of the family, whom I hate almost everyone in, had some Turkey, some mashed potatoes, with no gravy or anything extra really because there wasn't any. Then I went on a walk around town. trying to be positive you know. Just looking at the simple joys. Then I go home and I ended up passing out because I didn't sleep well last night and there wasn't anything going on so I drifted off to sleep for a bit. Woke up around 9pm.

 

Then I find out that my mom and a bunch of family on her side went to Indianapolis for Thanksgiving. I wasn't asked, at all. She thought that 'I wouldn't want to go' so she didn't even consider asking me. Lovely. So that is a bit mood crippling on its own. Then I found out my brother, one of the only people I can connect with in my family, him and his girlfriend went somewhere today, a few places actually. Was I ever considered? Nope. Not even once. I was never told. Never was asked. Sure, I spent around $50 or so on my brother in the past month despite my limited funds, because I want to be a good person despite me being entirely worthless. I guess that isn't even deserving of going somewhere with him.

 

And that is it. That was my Thanksgiving. Wasn't even really a Thanksgiving at all. Completely ignored by most of my family, having no friends to hang out with and now I literally feel nothing. I don't want to play any games, I don't want to do anything. Can't bring myself to fucking care. Tomorrow is Black Friday and Cyber Monday will also be upon us, but I don't have any extra funds, so who cares.

 

This is currently one of the worst nights I have had in a very, very long time. I guess learning that you are entirely insignificant to your family will do that.

Not much can really be said here. When the people you care about diss you, only time and an apology from them can cure it.

Until then...  I send my condolences.

I'm really sorry to hear that Kyoshi. That's really heartbreaking to be alone on such a holiday. I hope that when you're a little older, you have a family of your own, and then you make your own and new Thanksgiving traditions. It may be a dark time now, but at the end of every tunnel is a light.

 

Take care buddy. Know that everyone at MLP Forums is thankful for you.

It takes two to tango, similarly its partially your responsibility if you want a relationship with them. If. You are not obligated to help them, you are not obligated to spend time with them, etc. Paying for them if they wouldn't do so for you is not good. Look up stuff like this http://www.wikihow.com/Persuade-People-with-Subconscious-TechniquesBecause part of your focus seems obligation and expectation related, so either it was how you were raised, or how someone persuaded you. Also not to be rude or w/e, but when people use the term beta male, that is a stereotype and all, but its based on truth. Like the above link says try not to use sentences with 'um' and such. It shows more confidence. (here is a study about confidence http://www.livescience.com/8392-superstitions-bring-real-luck-study-reveals.html https://www.nap.edu/read/2303/chapter/13 )

 

Also if you are stuck being the helper you may end up a doormat, its good to let them know you aren't just a helping robot through incidental operant conditioning. Also be aware of the conditioning others give you and you give them. It requires attention though so would be more difficult the more tired you are, but to reinforce the consistency of it its ok to ponder about it when tired too, shouldn't stop it early when it comes to mind.

 

Also if you are the type to vocalize inconsistently, too much, or not enough consider that you may need to work on your expressiveness, and thats tied to confidence also anyways.

 

Break a leg.

Yes, because I am supposed to work on all of this shit so my family will fucking ask me if I want to go somewhere with them. Thanks.

As a fellow depressive, I can attest to the fact that sometimes people leave you alone because they think you want to be left alone, and that talking to you or asking if you want to do something will only upset you.  You should speak up and make sure they know that want to do something with them next time.
