The non-fandom secrets thread!

[(Anonymous)]

I'll start:

Sometimes I feel like people use vague "mental illness" umbrellas as an excuse to not have to deal with life. Which is a horrible thing to say, I know, and I know there are people for whom that is not true -- but I also can't shake this feeling about a great many people who piss and moan about the awful state they're in, but they can't possibly do any reasonable thing whatsoever to fix it because THEY HAVE ANXIETY!

To me, those people are behaving in a manner only mildly better than ones who complain about not having enough food but they refuse to go to a food bank (or, if recently laid off, take unemployment) because "they have too much pride for that." At least Janie Screaming Anxiety over there has a reason that may or may not be rooted, in some degree, to something medically real.

I'm in my early twenties and have never had sex. Every time I saw some kind of porn or erotic picture with a penis in it I was pretty turned off, because I found it extremely unattractive. Until I saw one picture of a trans woman who still had a penis. The difference was that it wasn't ENORMOUS.

So, my secret is, I don't dislike penises, I just don't like really big ones. Which I guess is the opposite of the opinion everyone is supposed to have. And it seems to be almost a requirement that any porn that shows dicks at all will only have huge ones.

I hate how Brits and Irish pronounce "Los Angeles" where "Angeles" rhymes with "sleaze."

I could see if English wasn't their first language or they weren't familiar with how the city is actually pronounced but let's be honest, Los Angeles is one of the most famous cities in the world. Every other American movie or show is set there with people pronouncing the name correctly. Where did the "sleaze" pronunciation come from? And why are they continuing it?

I've been rewearing dirty socks for nearly two weeks because first I was too lazy to do laundry and then the load I had time to do accidentally didn't have socks in it.

This is related to that whole roommate thread yesterday, isn't it?

Re: The non-fandom secrets thread!

[(Anonymous)]

OP, if you want to revive the roommate wank thread from yesterday just say so, but it's even more obnoxious to ~pretend~ you're talking IN GENERAL NOT ABOUT ANYONE SPECIFIC except you're really obviously talking about that one person

I feel like I'm a bad person and no matter how many good things I do I will always be a bad person.

There's an interesting conversation about this general topic going on right now in sports, actually, centered around a rookie named Royce White who has (I believe) an anxiety disorder and was for a good long while embroiled with a contract dispute with the Houston Rockets who drafted him about precisely how his disorder should be regarded. What's interesting is that his contention is that the majority of people have some kind of mental unhealthiness going on, and that society basically refuses to acknowledge this, and that the right and proper thing to do would be to take account of it and try to build a society that's workable for these people. It's an interesting topic - and I think it generally is a good idea to talk about, on a societal level, how these things are influenced and how we tend to address, or not address, them. And I think, to go to your point, that it's not just an individual person helping or not helping themselves, there's also things that we as a society can and should and need to address, and part of that is adjusting our view of mental illness. And regarding it as more real. And maybe getting rid of this weird Protestant thing where getting sick is Bad and everything is one's own fault and all that sort of a thing.

Anyway, here's an interview with Royce White. Interesting stuff: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/8890734/chuck-klosterman-royce-white

I feel too young to be doing anything, even after I've done it. I felt too young to be getting a baby brother when I was fourteen, I felt too young to leave high school, too young to fill in college applications, and I feel too young to have a job even though I have a good one right now. It doesn't affect my productivity or efficiency, it's just a feeling that I get. Maybe it has something to do with my height (rocking at barely 1.55m!), or how I was afraid of growing up as a teenager, but I don't know how to change the way I currently feel.

I have been extremely depressed lately. I don't think I am -actively- suicidal. I think about it but I don't think I would go through with it. But if someone put a gun to my head and said they were going to shoot me I would be relieved.

And the thing is, I don't have too bad of a life. I am unemployed by my mother has let me move back in with her until I can find a job. I'd like to talk about it with someone but I feel as if I would just be whining or looking for attention.

I have a ton of hang ups with buses and bus etiquette.

For example, I hate it when people get on the bus and just that second someone leaves and they go and sit, when others may have been standing for a long time! It's so unfair.

Another thing that makes me angry is when you give your seat to an elderly or someone who needed it more, and the next time a sit empties people who clearly saw you sit instead.

I know it's irrational to hate people so much for this, and I never say anything because they are not really in the wrong, if they are lucky to have a sit empty before them it's none of their business if others have been standing longer or if someone gave their sit to someone else :/

I'm trying really hard and I don't think I'll ever get a job that makes use of my zoology degree. I hardly ever make it to the interview stage and I feel so worthless when people ask me how the job hunting is going when I'm in my third year since graduation(I work in a call center right now)

I was angling for something in pest management or quarantine but I can't even get a farm hand position

Re: The non-fandom secrets thread!

Arguments like this piss me off. Because yes, people should never use a diagnosis as an excuse to do nothing, instead should focus on using it as like a stepping stone to figuring out how to get better. But then I think a lot of people look at an explanation and automatically think excuse. I have anxiety and depression, among other issues, and part of taking care of myself is knowing my limits within those boundaries. So yeah, there are things that I know I can't do because of those disorders, no matter how reasonable those things may seem to outsiders. Things that I am mentally unable to handle. And sometimes I vent about it on my journal or wherever. And it pisses me off when people come in and try to tell me I'm using my disability as an excuse to be lazy, because fuck you. But I know there are people out there who do that, it's just that I take the whole thing way too personally.

I've been convinced that my younger brother has ADD for at least the past ten years, but my parents always denied that it was possible. A few months ago, I finally convinced them to at least get him tested. Turns out I was right. But that's not the secret.

The secret is that he got his driver's license recently, and I can't help feeling like he couldn't have done it if not for the medication he's on now. I feel responsible for his success. Which is a totally dick thing to say about someone else's achievement.

b!s: I can't drive, and probably never will because of my anxiety issues, so my odd self-satisfaction over this isn't just solipsistic, it's hypocritical too.

Whenever I have an itch in my vagina or butt, I smell my fingers after.

I had an itch down there just now, and my fingers smelled really nice! Amazing laundry detergent goes a long way for the underwear.

Also, sometimes, if my fingers really stink after, I lick them to get rid of the smell, if I'm not near a sink or hand sanitizer.

Protip: You have no fucking right to decide how people deal with their shit. Something "reasonable" to you might not be reasonable to somebody working through a disorder, so you can take your judgement and shove it up your ass.

Good day.

I get angrier at people being dicks about my partner's identity than I do at people being dicks about my own.

More people will stand up for me than they will for him, and that just makes me angrier.

I hate wearing pants while reading F!S so much I've stopped checking it away from home. Once when I really needed to keep up on a thread I checked it from a public restroom so I could take my pants down.

Re: The non-fandom secrets thread!

I have a FtM friend who I've known since we were kids. After a few missteps I tried to read up on it so that I could be a better friend. I believe that it's his body and his identity is real and he should be able to do whatever he feels like he needs to to be happy. But secretly, whenever I read some transphobic rant about how gender isn't real and we should all be happy with our bodies and not let the patriarchy tell us we need surgery and drugs to be ourselves--- it kind of resonates with me. I feel really guilty about this. I wish I was better/smarter about these things.

Funnily enough, I've been worrying for the last couple of years that I'm using my vague mental illness as an excuse for not having to deal with life. And yet it's so damn hard that I can't imagine just dealing with it. But I've had this vague mental illness for so long that I could so easily have just convinced myself that this is an acceptable way of going about life and REALLY I'm just lazy. But then I would say that because I'm depressed and hate myself.

Re: The non-fandom secrets thread!

I made a promise I couldn't keep to someone I couldn't protect, burnt myself out trying to keep it, made a mistake because of that, hurt her, and hurt myself. I can't imagine ever forgiving myself, or ever being able to believe I'm a good person again. And I don't want to. I don't deserve forgiveness and I'm sure as hell not a good person.

It's been years now since I got away from them but there is still part of me that misses the people who were exploiting me.

I imagine what it would be like if we were still in the same fandoms, the sorts of collabs and stuff we'd be making now, fantasize about going back under my new identity and befriending them again...

I never will, but I also don't think I'll ever completely stop missing them.

I work at a private school and each class has a TV installed in it. For some reason, I get really pissed when teachers turn on the TV to teach kids nursery rhymes. Idk what the fuck is wrong with me. I'm like a nursery-rhyme-purist or something. 'They should be sung to kids, not played on a television!'

Re: The non-fandom secrets thread!

I think lips are REALLY GROSS.

like, I'm not normally thinking about it, I don't look at someone's face and go "ew omg they have lips that's disgusting" but whenever I see pictures that place a ton of focus on someone having these huge shiny sticky-looking lips because it's ~so sexy~ I just get so grossed out, I don't get why this body part is so appealing to everyone else in the world!

I really hate the words witch and wench when they're obviously being used as a coy substitute for the word bitch. I hate them way more than the words bitch or cunt. It seems so smirky and two-faced. Just fucking admit that you hate her, there's no high ground here!
