I got really anxious today about something that happened this morning at my house and I was afraid that I was going to get in trouble, which I did.

Well I've been stood up now by not one but two guys. And when I get upset, my friend tells me I'm too unforgiving and pessimistic, lol. And no, I can't break up with this friend as she's pretty one of the few I'm still able to talk to regularly.

I hate my life.

I'm assuming the date didn't offer a good excuse, an apology, and an immediate rescheduling?

If I may pry, how much had you two talked prior to setting up the date?

The first guy turned out to be really screwy, twice setting up plans, not showing up and then blaming me. The second guy did have a slightly better excuse and we have agreed to try again Monday. These are both from speed dating so yeah, we hadn't talked much before hand. But they reached out to me afterward. Let's just say his whole dating this is no walk in the park. :wink:

I couldn't ever do speed dating. Just meeting someone in person is intimidating for me (serious introvert). If things go sideways again, you may want to consider online dating...it has the advantage of allowing for reams of written exchanges before anyone even has to call or meet. I was able to push away a few guys who seemed questionable (or downright stalkerish) through online vetting.

I do hope things go better for you the next time!

Yesterday, my college graduation festivities weren't horrible! My racist aunt wasn't there which made everything a lo easier to deal with; my boyfriend made me smile like crazy and him being there made my family members that I'm not so fond of easier to tolerate. I'm very lucky to have him.

I had a rough day today because a doctor's appointment I had Thursday got bumped up but, good news is: my new specialist is actually helpful and they're going to get to the bottom of what's wrong with me! I have to wait a bit of time but, the good news is, I only have to wait 6 months till I can drive again; two weeks ago I had a seizure that I was hospitalized for and well, I was freaked that I wouldn't be able to drive for a year and a half based on what the rude emergency room peeps yelled at me.

But again, things are looking up in that regard despite dealing with my mom's super rudeness for most of my day; just when I think I'm a-okay with her, she treats me like a piece of garbage again and reminds me: NOPE, YOU AREN'T LOVED!

My abuelos and boyfriend love me, so do my couple besties and that's more than enough. I'm taking anti-depressants officially and while I wish I could drink socially like I normally do, I'm a-okay with skipping the liquor for now.

Sending good vibes all around <3
