My sister said she was going to come over for dinner but now she isn’t.

I had an idea that I thought would be really cool but I can't make it work so I have to think of a plan b.

Realizing star fragments in Animal Crossing don't stay on the beach indefinitely; I had literally just loitered the day before "catching them" for a good half hour :U ... aaaand thought I could collect them the next day... there were so many D:

This constant beeping noise at work made me angry today.

A donor at Goodwill was yelling at me even though I didn’t do anything wrong.

The ceiling lamps burnt out in both my bedroom and my home office, both lamps use LED strips instead of light bulbs and they're glued onto the base of the lamps, so the strips can't be replaced without breaking them in the process. I ended up ordering regular ceiling lamps to replace them, but they won't arrive until tomorrow, so it looks like I'll have to use table lamps and battery-powered lanterns for lighting in both rooms for today.

Got ghosted on a first date. People cry foul when they don't get what they want but they can't be honest or do right. Then they get hostile when they're called on their BS, what can anyone do with that?

I'm so sorry that happened to you! I never understood standing someone up unless there was an emergency situation or something like that. I just don't get the whole point of going through all this effort to chat and make date plans just to say "Nevermind!" and get someone's hopes up  I really hope your next date goes a lot better with whoever may be next!

I'm just slightly annoyed perplexed that the entire concept of romance seems to be a huge trigger for me  Why does it even trigger me, anyways, when I'm not even doing any dating? I'm just ready to be done with it  I've already worked through one big trigger and I would love to fully work through this current one.

Perhaps it triggers you because you sense how unhealthy it can become for those of us who are after it, you don't like what you see it doing to us. Romance, is in a sorry state right now, I gotta tell ya.

It doesn't trigger me, but then none of our experiences are exactly the same, what triggers one person is not true for another. I'm single, been that way since school. I have no plans on dating, but that does not mean I hope others be the same, for some people, romance can be very rewarding and healthy. It just depends on if it happens at the right time and with the right people. I've come to recognize love to be a beautiful thing, and it's really our one chance at happiness in this world. Not all friendships have to be about "being lovers", but it can bring happiness as long as there's clear respect for boundaries in that relationship.

Romance can be anything as it doesn’t require dates or having a soulmate. I always love to immerse myself in something I love. Example looking at the European architectures and listening to jazz music.

Things to keep me feeling happy instead of grieving. Sure it’s considers as a bonus if you end up finding someone who shares the same interests with you.. but it’s not always the requirement. Focusing on what you love feels much more free.

Hate to be another ping . What kind of trigger  ? Like, does seeing a romantic couple make you feel like you’re expected to do the same? Or is it still bringing you bad emotions from previous experience?

I tried to de escalate some tension between me and a coworker, but she proceeded to keep it up rather than just let it go despite my efforts. I just redirected my attention to someone else. Read the dam mood, dude!!
