Thread Topic: I got free stuff by crying in a corner at Homecoming
-
Homecoming was held at a skating rink this year. I suck at skating + super anxious so I just sat alone and watched football on some tv while my friends skated.
Okay so like an hour and fifteen minutes in, I finally got the courage to skate so I went over to get my skates. I stood aside and planned out exactly how I was going to do it. Keep in mind it was unbelievably loud and people were everywhere so my anxiety level was already reaching the red zone.
I guess the lady was half deaf plus it was loud af so she couldn't hear me and I stuttered so bad that eventually it all had built up and I had to walk away before I started crying
I quickly found a corner to seclude myself in and kind of started tearing up, and even though I kept wiping my face I couldn't get it to dry
My girlfriend and my friend came over to see if I was okay, and this is where I ruined evereything
my friend asked me "Do you want to go outside?" and idk why this triggered it, maybe because I wanted to talk and couldn't or because I feel I always ruin these things but that's when I burst into tears and kind of started sobbing. All of my anxiety and self-loathing exploded. Idk how long I was like that, but when I opened my eyes my friend had left and my girlfriend was trying to pat my shoulder or something idk she's weird
I calmed down a bit and stopped crying but I do remember that all I wanted was to be at home, kind of wanted to die, you can understand
The lady I tried to order from came back and explained that she's half deaf and I explained I have really bad anxiety and then she bought me a bottle of water
Then she came back and gave me a free pass
I guess she felt guilty
after that, my girlfriend and I went outside and waited for her dad to take us home
I tried to get her to go skate again while I went outside and calmed down, but she's really stubborn and very sweet so she ignored my suggestion
Anyway, that's how I got free stuff by having crippling anxiety and an uber-meltdown at homecoming last night.
how are you guys -
ahh man I know how you feel. My anxiety isn't that bad, but I do relate to those overwhelming feelings of anxiety/self hatred/wanting to be home, etc.
I'm really glad the lady was nice to you, though. I don't know many people that are willing to talk to strangers, especially not teenagers that they don't have to talk to apart from giving them skating shoes.. I'm also glad your girlfriend stayed with you! She sounds v nice.
I'm extremely exhausted. I had been getting ready to go to my cousin's birthday party, but.. My mom decided to snatch the shower, and we can't have more than one shower in the house going on at the time. So I'm kind of just sitting here, waiting around. -
The lady was so kind, I feel so bad because I feel that I may have seemed rude or upset with her. I wish I could have thoroughly explained it wasn't her fault. My girlfriend is probably one of the overall best people I know, even though she's annoyingly stubborn, she's so patient and idk where I'd be without her or ytf she stays with me
How old is your cousin? That sucks, does she take long showers? -
I feel like she didn't mind, considering she personally went over to talk to you. And if you ever go back, and she's there, maybe you could try telling her you're sorry if it's still eating at you?
I'm really glad you have a good partner. And I can think of where you'd be.. Perhaps my bed? ;) jkjk
That's a brilliant question. I have no idea. I just know she's younger than me. Yeeeah -
I definitely will apologize to her one of these days.
ohmygod dark
Do you like her? Or is she annoying? Did you guys get her a present? -
When you do, I'd like to hear about it. I'm sure she'll be grateful.
sorry sorry, I'm rlly bad sometimes
She's okay from what I remember. She's the side of the family we don't get to talk to much. Nope, we're going to buy one rn actually. My family is the highest level of lazy you can get. -
Lmao, I guess that's how it goes with distant family. I hope you have fun
