Exercising right after I wake up in the morning. F**K THAT.
Outdoor FestivalsGross porta potties, no water to wash hands, the smell of weed, the smell of p**s, people smelling of BO and alcohol, pushing each other out of the way to get to the front, people OD-ing, heat strokes, people with no awareness of their surroundings, minimal seating areas, no shade, drunk adults who bring their kids while they get wasted and over priced food lol.
Camping.Spent one night in a tent and knew I belong indoors with AC and a fridge.
Caine. The high is fun but short, and my first thought was “you know what would be fun? More caine.” Noped right out of that party and never did it again.
Dancing in a club. It looked like a good time, then I discovered I have absolutely no idea what to do with my arms and legs on the dance floor, and I look and feel ridiculous. Not fun.
For me, it was dating apps. I tried one out and instantly felt it wasn’t for me. The endless swiping and shallow interactions left me feeling more lonely than connected. Plus majority of people there only want one thing.
Sweet potato fries. Everyone always tells me how great they are, but if you want fries, get fries. You can’t beat the classic.
Running as exercise.
Meditation . I cannot sit still for the life of me.
Haunted houses. Having people jump out of the day and scream in my face while I walk through cheesy scenes of violence was not even a little fun for me.
Marriage. I knew before I did it that I shouldn’t be doing it with this guy. I did it anyway. Big mistake. Huge. I figured out that it’s a lot easier to say I do, than it is to say I don’t want to do this anymore.
This world. It was so bad I cried the moment I entered it.
Telemarketing. I walked out after two hours. I felt like the lowest of low life.
Corporate job… it’s not for me. Except it’s now been 20yrs soulless years and I have zero will to live.
I put on roller blades, stood up, sat down and took them off. Was going to break my damn neck.
Shrooms. The first bit was pretty good, but then while I was laying in bed my Kurt Cobain poster fell on top of me. I was freaking out as to why Kurt Cobain came of out of heaven to specifically attack me. Nonetheless, I k*lled him a second time.
Wine. Still have no idea how people can drink it.
Trying to change people who treat you like s**t.
PolyamoryIt caused me a lot of emotional damage.
Cigarettes. Didn’t care for the dirty ashtray taste that lingered in my mouth.
Weed. I don’t understand how people enjoy it. Just gave me panic attacks. Never again.
I was shocked at how much I hate weighted blankets. People say so many good things about them! I put it over me, boom, instant claustrophobia. I don’t even have claustrophobia. Except with weighted blankets.
Being a teacher. I love the teaching part. I hate being a teacher.
Crumbl cookies. Expensive, way too sugary, and just meh. never again.
That stinky fermented norwegian fish thing. I thought maybe it just smelled bad and tasted ok but yeah it’s awful all around.

Relationships.I’ve been in one relationship my entire life and it was horrible. I hated everything about it.
