you know how it's been found that lack of exposure of young children to dirt, trees, nature in general, apparently leads to an increase in allergies? (not that this is the only source mind you)
and what are allergies? they're the body reacting to innocuous things as if they're invasive agents; the immune system basically making up enemies because it didn't have any real enemies when it was leaning the ropes
well
i read this ridiculous thing in another post
Tumblr media
and it brought to mind someone once saying "someone didn't get stuffed in a locker/trash can in school" and i realized that these are the same thing
when people don't learn enough about interpersonal relationships when they're young - either first hand (direct experience) or second hand (observation, exposure, being taught or reading about how real people get along), they end up reacting in pretty bizarre ways to what should be normal -
they basically have allergies to normal relationships

I was scrolling through TikTok and the newest trend was people making cooking tutorials for dishes full of stuff they were allergic to and the goal was to finish it before going into anaphylactic shock.

Pick the one you enjoy the most! Even if it isn't what ends up happening usually. (Socializing can be hard sometimes.)
This poll brought to you by a convo I had with my sister.

Tomorrow is probably going to be rough. A phone call for the social skills class, possibly an allergy test, maybe some more rough stuff at school with the film study unit, etc. It's going to potentially be very rough. And bloodwork in a week or two. It's all stressful to think about. So I may actually make some more vent posts because of this. Because I have a lot of stuff going on, it feels like.

Tiktok has bred a lot of people with main character syndrome.

sometimes i'm like "eurgh it sucks being back in [environment] because it's not like it used to be and i hardly know anyone and everyone i do know knows each other better than they know me so i'm always lurking on the edge of other people's conversations and never really part of anything"
and then i remember it was exactly like that when i was 21 too and i don't know why i ever expected anything different anyway

I went to a friend's birthday party at their apartment and lasted like 30 minutes before I skedaddled on out. I only knew the birthday person there, but I'm a friendly guy and find it easy to chat with people, but like, 15 minutes in and I'm sitting in the corner with the cat cause the poly group is off in one area and the cishet couple won't even make eye contact with me. I tried chatting with a few people, but it felt like I was having to pull teeth to get a conversation going.
It's not the first time I tried to go out with that person and their friend group and was completely ignored. I'm trying to not get into my head thinking whether I'm too much of a weirdo or if there's something off putting about me. But like ??? It felt so uncomfortable and anxiety inducing to feel invisible like that??
I feel so dumb and lame, but I could really use some kind words if anyone has a moment to spare 😩

The allergy test went okay, but it was a bit stressful and stuff. Still, I got through it. And I'm just happy about that. Same major allergies from 2011. Cats and Dust. Cats and Dust are my worst allergies. Dust is worse than cats, but they're both bad.
Now that the allergy tests done, I just have to wait to do the phone call for the social skills class in a bit. I'm sure the call will be okay (the kid I'm calling seems nice), but my nerves and anxiety still act up whenever we get down to the waiting to do it. But I know I'll get by.

every time i try to do something scary on purpose for my social anxiety the universe decides to add in unexpected situations 😔
#i was supposed to go pick up a package and then i was like. ok wait. ive gotten good at buying something while pickiing a package up. what#if i also buy stamps#bc you have to ask the cashier for those (same as with the package)#and it was just at my cornerstore so it's a safe nonscary environment#well. as not-scary as any store can be.#but. there were a lot of ppl there. which! i thought would be fine bc the line was still relatively short but. what happened was that they#opened another register.#and i was queuing for the reguster that had stamps and handles packages#and i would have loved to stay at the queue. but. only one person went to the queue of the new register. so there were 2 ppl in line before#me. one already had their stuff on the conveyor belt and the other was about to put their stuff there too#and the person who went to the other register only had like 2 things to buy. so. it was me. in line behind 2 people. versus an almost#empty register. so. i had to switch to the free register before the cashier had the time to b like 'there's a free register here!'#bc i don't have a script for hearing that and saying 'no' !!!#so i just. switched over and bought my snacks. leaving the store with no package and no stamps.#bc if i hadnt i would have had to say something i dont have a social script for and probably stumbled on my words and gone red and dizzy#which. not ideal.#and this sucks ass bc all i really needed was one (1) success in a social situation#bc this week has been kicking my ass social anxiety wise#usually when i go and get coffee from a coffeeshop they dont ask me shit and just make my order to regular milk which. ok. i dont have an#allergy or anything. i just think plant alternatives taste better in coffee#but this week. i got asked 'do you want that in regular milk?' and i was not expecting that#so i was like 'yes please 😊' and drank my grossly milky coffee dreaming about what i could have had#and that happened TWICE#after the first time i did think about it and decide i could have said 'do you have oat milk or something' and then the barista#could have either said yes or no and both of those would b easy to answer#but instead of asking if they have oat milk i just said yes. again.#can you guys imagine some people speak without being scared#some people even go to the store without feeling even an ounce of fear. imagine#leevi talks

I used to use one of those third part reddit apps to look at certain subreddits. Mostly it was the food and cooking ones.
I need constant ideas for recipes to reverse engineer around my food allergies.
I have zero idea of how many ppl will actually leave reddit but it is a shame. I had already deleted Facebook and Twitter.
Once again Tumblr survived the purge against all odds.
What is Tumblr even? Some underdog protagonist in a YA novel?
