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

TheCatWoman

I want snow, lots of snow, I want icicles dangling from the eaves, I want to be so cold at night the air rings like the after note of a bell, I want to see the stars in all their glory, I want to have blankets on my bed, lots of them, even if it's cold enough a duvet. I want to wear jumpers and thick socks, I want warming winter soups and stews. I want the energy thats so intense I have to run up and down stairs a few times to get rid of some, I want the deep sleep that comes with not being overheated.

I know for may of you this will be anathema, but I can't cope with all this hot, the letheragy, the sleeplessness, the sweating, wondering if Fearn will overheat when we go out for a walk, the smell of BBQ's that make me feel sick.

I miss the sound of wind and rain, not storms but normal wind and rain.

    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.

    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."

    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.
