I want some nice weather, not all this horrible hot stuff

Safe to say I have real bad summer depression 

Me too, I hate being shouted at for it too, we're all supposed to be happy shiney people when the sun shines and the weather's hot. This weather is really making me ache terribly. I don't know where the forecasters are getting their data from, but its way hotter than they said it was going to be. They say they're more accurate, but it still feel a bit think of a number and double it.

Ugh tell me about it! Why can’t people just respect that not everyone likes summer? I wouldn’t mind if I had a swimming pool to jump into but I don’t haha! And the nearest public one is like an hours drive away, plus it’s even more busy with screaming kids during the holidays. In fact everywhere just has screaming kids in summer holidays lol! I used to love summer holidays when I was a kid and teen but now I’m the complete opposite since I left school haha! I’m meant to be going on holiday with my dad in September so hopefully that will lift my spirits! Haven’t had a proper holiday since before corona! I mean I had London and jersey island since lockdown but still ha

For all you know she might have a mental illness. You assume she had no issues of her own.

She might have a fear of being ignored, or some other problem. Maybe the voices told her to say something. Or she was on drugs.

Best thing is to smile and wave and forget about it.

Don't always assume it is you.

For all the woman knew I might actually have been deaf or have severly impaired hearing. I wish people would remember to pack thier brains and their manners when they go on holiday.

I get terribly worked up about this sort of mindlessness. I can't understand how everyone is not paying attention to everything and everyone all the time and thinking everything through. I guess that's a bit of a theory of mind issue that I have.

I've found the stoical advice of Marcus Aurelius (Emperor of Rome) very helpful. I'll paraphrase:

"When you are offended by the poor conduct of others, immediately ask yourself, 'Is it possible that people like these could not exist in the world?' It is not possible. These people exist. You will meet them. Expect to meet them, and then when you do, they won't get to you so much."

I find this image is a good summary:

Did you give that rude woman what for or did you just carry on ignoring her? If you don’t mind me asking, you don’t have to answer that. I don’t watch tv (except for spingebob on paramount) and only time I use the internet is when I need help with a hard game or something. I just got triggered because thanks to this bully former manager of mine, everyone I see is just oh so perfect compared to me now and I just feel and look like an ugly thrump of a woman now so if I ever do go outside I always wear a hat to cover my face and I wear long baggy clothing too. I was always criticised for how I looked and what I wore at work and got very badly manipulated so that has shattered me big time and this was a few years ago and it still stings today. Also I suffer with heat strokes and the hot weather doesn’t help at all! Honestly the inside of a volcano is probably cooler if you ask me!

I don't watch adverts, I don't read adverts, or the sorts of magazines or TV shows where people are competing about their stuff. I tend view a lot of stuff as cargo and I think we carry a lot of mental cargo too with all our feelings of inadaquacy over the things we don't have. Luckily living here we don't have huge bllboards or anything, no shops telling us how to look and what clothes to buy, if we could afford them. It's a nuisance when I actually want to buy something, but not being advertised at and made to feel inadaquate all the time is great.

Omg that is so very rude of that woman! If you didn’t hear her that’s ok and I’m so sorry you had to experience that. You could have had earbuds in or anything. Sorry you couldn’t have as longer walk with Fearn, it’s understandable in this heat and I also get unwell with the heat. And don’t get me started on the roads works that never get done! Ugh I tend to be cooped up for a long time now and I’m sad to say that I’ve got used to it since corona. I mean I freak out if I look out the window or see an ad with someone else now as I freak out about how I look and everything and how I don’t have a nice car etc. 

also I’m not able to have my windows open because I’m either welcoming bugs in of a day or having to smell burning fires of a night thanks to some new neighbours opposite the road who like to burn things at their leisure. I am looking forward to my holiday in Bermuda next month but now I think even though the kids will be back in school well the newborns and nursery kids won’t be in school so yeah I might not have a peaceful holiday after all. Typical 

Try internet shopping, get the supermarket to deliver everything to your door.

I got shouted at this afternoon whilst I was out with Fearn, apparently this woman said hello to me and I didn't hear her, but she managed to tell me how rude she thought I was in a loud enough voice and said again that I was rude for "being in my own little world" and not hearing her. I left at that point, Fearn only had half a walk, because I couldn't cope with any more ignorance from strangers and I was struggling to stay on my feet as I felt unwell from the heat.

If I could stand being cooped up at home, I think I'd become agoraphobic, I'm having to censor where I go so much, because it's school holidays and everywhere is busy, even more so because the council and highways dept have decided to cone off loads of roads for no apparent reason. That and I have to keep reminding myself that there are hardly any shops to go to anymore, I just hope I don't have to venture into Bangor before september and that my toothpaste lasts that long!
