I've been in the same meeting for 2 hours and we've accomplished absolutely nothing. We've discussed the same three points in circles, someone keeps going on tangents about their weekend, and the person who called the meeting hasn't even shown up yet. This is why I hate corporate culture. Just make a decision already!

My boss just sent me a 3-page email at 11 PM on Friday asking me to 'just quickly review' a project that's due Monday. Quick review? It's 200 pages of technical documentation! And of course, it's marked as 'urgent' with no context. Why do managers think weekends are just extensions of the work week? I'm so done with this 'always available' culture.

Another 'team building' event that's actually mandatory overtime. We're supposed to be 'bonding' while doing unpaid work on a Saturday. I don't want to bond, I want to go home and not think about work for 48 hours. Is that too much to ask?

My professor assigned a 20-page research paper due in 3 days. THREE DAYS. For a paper that requires 15 academic sources and original research. I haven't slept in 48 hours, I'm running on coffee and pure spite, and I'm pretty sure my brain has stopped functioning. This is not education, this is torture.

I just found out my coworker who does half the work I do makes 30% more than me. Same position, same experience level, but apparently being friends with the manager gets you further than actual competence. I'm so angry I could scream. This is why people job hop constantly.

My anxiety has been through the roof lately and everyone keeps telling me to 'just relax' or 'think positive.' Thanks, I'm cured! If it was that easy, don't you think I would have done that already? Mental health isn't something you can just turn off like a switch.

Hi. I'm a 15 year old who constantly fails at anything she does. I'm crying right now because I'm just so emotional and I can't do anything to just make things better. I don't know why I'm like this. Always crying, always being such a dumb bitch. I'm a burden to my family, and a nuisance to my classmates. I wish I was better for the people I love. Maybe, it's better if I'm just not here anymore. Everything's so pointless. Why did I hesitate ending my life 3 years ago? I should've tried harder to escape. Gosh, am I really that bad? Am I really that useless? I'm not at the top of my class. I'm not pretty. I'm just here. I don't wanna be here anymore. I didn't fight hard enough for the good grades. I didn't fight hard enough for the people I love. I'm sorry. To my family, friends, everyone. I'm not good enough, and I never will be. I'm sorry that I am who I am. I hope I find the opportunity to leave and never bother anyone else ever again. I hope the pills work this time. Thank you

ive been stalked by an unknown man for more than a year now. i have gathered evidence but not enough to report it. i know i seem him when im out the house. it does drive me insane sometimes behind who's doing this. yet i have no clue on who it could be but its a man. dressed in simple plain clothes due to not seeing him visibly close just from a few distance in his vehicle. im fed up honestly just needed to vent this i wanna know but also not excited to see whats next near future on this guy.

Why do automatic doors wait until you're 2 feet away to open? I'm walking at a normal pace, not sprinting, but the door acts like it's surprised to see me. Then it closes right as I'm walking through. It's 2024, can we get doors that actually work properly?

Social media algorithms keep showing me the same three types of content: people flexing their wealth, relationship drama, and 'motivational' quotes that are actually just toxic positivity. I miss when the internet was fun and not a constant comparison trap.

teacher abused me and my parents didnt want to say anything to anyone my grades have drop i feel everyday i cry

People who say 'I could care less' when they mean 'I couldn't care less.' If you COULD care less, that means you DO care! The phrase literally means the opposite of what you're trying to say! This drives me absolutely insane. Learn basic grammar!

I've been trying to get a doctor's appointment for 3 weeks. The earliest available is in 2 months. Two months! I'm not dying, but I'm also not okay. The healthcare system is completely broken. What am I supposed to do, just suffer until then?

I asked for 'no pickles' on my burger and they gave me EXTRA pickles. Like, not just regular pickles, but an entire pickle garden on my burger. I specifically said NO pickles! How do you mess that up? It's the easiest instruction in the world!

my boyfriend who doent rlly counmt as a boyfriend cheats on me but tells me and i just let it happen because i have no self respect and want to feel loved!!! also my parnets have restricted my whole life because for fuck knows like i lied to them twice big deal sorry like at;east i admitted the lie my mums telling ,me i need to focus on work yet took my phone so i cant even update y wprk availibility of check my emails or messages and all the things i need to even keep my job so thats just great alli have is my shitbox laptoip whoich barley does anyting so yay me

Had a really frustrating old client today. He’s known for being difficult, and even though we’ve explained the process multiple times, it’s the same argument every time he comes back. It honestly feels like he just wants to argue for the sake of it. You can tell he doesn’t like how things are run, but since we’re the ones handling it, he has no choice but to comply. One of my coworkers finally gave up, and I ended up having to explain everything again. I am under the weather today, and I’ll admit I lost my patience too. We got into an argument. I mean ARGUMENT. Both got frustrated, and so he went back to my coworker, and I stepped outside just to breathe. Working in government is tough. You really want to help, but some people are just impossible to please. Even when you try your best, they still think you’re not helping. I know I could’ve handled it more gracefully, but today was just one of those days. And now I still can’t seem to rest even if I want to.

Everyone has been out celebrating Christmas and New Year and I'm stuck with a cokehead boyfriend who cancels plans last second so he can snort and goon all night. Seriously considering ending the relationship as the only time I can talk to him about how this is damaging the relationship is when he's on coke - or he gets shitty and has a tantrum. Feel like I just want to hang myself and be done with everything. I've had a shit life of near constant abuse and at 44 years old, I just can't do it anymore. Everywhere is constant disappointment.

FUCK IT!!! Fuck my anxiety!!! Fuck putting up with it all!! Fuck staying in a city where I feel I no longer belong!! My hand is hovering over the 'reset button' and I'm incredibly close to just packing my fucking bags, relocating within Australia and restarting my life.

If I have to have another meeting about scheduling a meeting I'm going to lose my #$$% mind!

I want to kill myself because people keep hating me and they keep bullying everywhere and they keep making me suicidal because they are always targeting me and no one else. That's not fair. I don't understand why. I don't like people because they bully me and treat me poorly and it makes me suicidal. They don't care about me and they target me more than my sisters and it makes me suicidal then. Everyone hates me. Even my own mom does. It makes me want to kill myself. Everyone wants me to die and they make me suicidal when they diagnose me and blame a mental illness that makes me want to kill them and kill myself. I want to blow their head off. I hate people and I want to slaughter them like animals because they bother me. I want to kill them all. I want to beat them up for hating my behavior and for complaining about my behavior. I want to kill people for being sexual with me and I want to kill people for thinking I am cute and beautiful. I want to kill them for bothering me.

I love my partner, and I know they love me too. But loving someone doesn’t automatically make the relationship healthy. Sometimes their behavior feels toxic. They can be rude or dismissive, and when that happens, what hurts most is that my feelings come second to theirs. Instead of reflecting on how they affect me, they focus on justifying their actions. We disagree on many personal things—how I dress, how I do my makeup, and who I spend time with, especially friends of the opposite gender. These things matter to me. I don’t want to give up what makes me happy just to keep them comfortable. When I stand my ground, they see it as disrespect, even though it’s simply me choosing myself. I understand feeling uncomfortable, but that doesn’t give them the right to control me or be angry at me for living my life. This is my body, my choices, and my headspace. Ive been upset any cryiung alot lately and they dont seem to care. its become a "norm" for me to cry. They js got used to it ig.

I feel like I don't fit anywhere. Is this a joke?!

i cant find a reason good enough to leave my relationship. its not awful just not brill. and i really think they could do better too. ideas?

my head hurts so bad i can't do this job anymore wanna quit so bad but i need the money 5

how I wish I can enjoy may whole life without minding those people around me.

I got broken up with 5 mo ths ago and I'm still dealing with the after math. So what caused the breakup was intimacy which is weird since I didn't think that could happen before this, anyway. So what happened was *,his words* " we got too freaky" and basically he was a Christian and basically broke down into all this spiritual gargin and stuff. It even went as far as him telling his friends and his friends dad was there and he said " she's the devil! She's straying you away from God!" I don't know if I'm valid for still caring 5 months later but I do. I just hurt so bad when it happened and had no one to go to about it. What was worse is the whole time I wanted to help him but I knew I never could cause I've never determined with this kinda thing before and I also felt like I used him a little and was totally in the wrong. I do t know if I'll ever get over this. I loved him, and still do. I just feel so bad for pushing for something he couldn't give me. I felt like I forced him.

I'm tired of needing to be like people to be liked. Nobody likes me and nobody wants to tell me why. I cry, every night. I buy cool clothes, try to find hobbys and try to keep up with people but everybody seems to forget me and flag me as annoying when i try. why can't I be like them? Why do I want to have friends? why can't I just be good with being alone forever??

Relationships are doomed nowadays partners dont want to cheat on their social media thirstrap girlfriends with their spouse.

What the hell is the purpose of life at this point? Genuinely, nothing makes sense. There's too much bad stuff in this world. Thank you, math class for making me think of ending my life instead of being interested in math.

They forgot our anniversary. I know it's just a date, but it feels like they forgot about us. Am I being too sensitive?

Long distance is harder than I thought. Missing them hurts, and the uncertainty of when we'll see each other again is crushing.

My life sucks and i don't have any reason to live

What do you do when your friend finds a dud

well there is this girl she's really pretty and has tons of followers . I do agree that she is pretty and all but she is selfish and kind of a dumb but not really dumb . We are a group of 6 people for posting . So, we decide to go together in the same time so we dont be scolded for being late but she goes earlier than said time and makes us look bad . Also she goes for a walk and tea and coffee in the middle of our posting . And because of her , we all got scolding .And when we confronted her she acts as if she is not at fault and always ends up saying she didnot do anything .

Not everyone celebrate Christmas and New Year's with others. As I celebrate Christmas and New Year by myself.

Do you know people that always look busy but never accomplish anything? Then you feel guilty cause you're trying to relax and they are over there sweeping the floor that isn't dirty

I am currently in an 7 year relationship with my boyfriend. My current issue is his family. I dont dislike them, I love them and enjoy their company. I have always done my best to get along with them and be respectful. My boyfriend had to move out recently since they had to move to houston, leaving my boyfriend here in dallas with me. He has been doing so good independently. He does live with his sister, which is also an issue in my opinion. Problem number 1- His sister always pays rent very late, He always has to cover for her, Often having to take out from his savings. She doesn't do her part at home such as cleaning up after herself or paying for her own groceries. They agreed before moving in tg that she would do her part, even claiming that it would be easy. Yet when shes suppose to be working i always catch her at home, skipping work. She could easily be paying rent as she has no other bills, But is letting all the responsibility fall under her brother. part 2 coming

People at the self-checkout were being rude and making fun of others—completely unacceptable behavior.

i failed a subject, im afraid to let my mother and my auntiie who supports my education know it. im sacred of what will happen to me. what will happen to my life after this. tomorrow i will try to talk to my professor i hope i can find him tomorrow. im really ashamed of what i did, gaslighting wont work anymore i really feel so depressed cos what do you mean he already calculated our grades a day after we finished taking our final exam???? sometimes our scores are miscalculated i did everthing that i can to survive and now youre telling me that i need to repeat a year to study that same subject again??? i dont knoww where did i do wrong i got sick before we took the finals thats why i wasnt able to review and hee even asked us to pass our books to him before exam

I've been isolated and stuck at home for years. I'm not even able to escape. I hate only having online friends. I can feel my mental state slipping day by day - my therapists my only main source of comfort. I still hate knowing that even they can't help. My family can't help. Eventually I can leave, but "eventually" is awful too. I can't disclose personal info but honestly I'm thinking of contacting runaway services/homeless shelters. I feel like I'm becoming more delusional too. just typing here is exhausting.

Autocorrect keeps changing my words to something completely different. I'm fighting with my phone more than I'm actually typing.

Cancel culture has me second-guessing every joke, every comment, every thought. I'm walking on eggshells and I don't even know what I'm afraid of anymore.

God damn ideas coming from cross-functional teams make no f'ng sense! No basis, no study on what's feasible, just do it as a good corporate slave you are!

Family gathering where everyone asks the same invasive questions: 'When are you getting married?' 'Why don't you have kids yet?' 'Are you still doing that job?' Yes, I'm still single, childless, and working the same job. My life choices are not up for debate at Thanksgiving dinner. Can we just eat in peace?
