Saw a TikTok about some woman asking why men have to disturb the peace of a Saturday or Sunday morning by mowing their lawn or using a leaf blower, and you would’ve thought she went on a bigoted rant by the comment section. Like damn she was just talking about how it would be nice to enjoy a peaceful morning and random commenters took it as a personal attack. Shit you not I truly believe some suburbanites would go to war over their lawn the way they treat it like a fortress to a castle.

Is this not extremely silly when you type it all out? Time is a circle and I feel like I’m a peasant under feudalism watching kings, nobles and knights protect their land like it’s under some type of threat

    The thought of being a bother to other people makes me feel sick and panicky. I cope with this by reassuring myself that I’m doing my best and they probably aren’t that bothered anyway.

    I’d someone actually told me I’m bothering them I’d consider jumping into traffic. Just put my head in the mower blades and fucking end it.

    At least my electric mower is quiet. Much better.

      I’m the exact same way. Almost went mute as a kid because I was so extremely socially anxious, the fear of doing or saying something wrong was absolutely paralyzing.
