What ruined your day?

Yesterday when I got my hair cut I learned I was balding at the back of my head. I'm twenty-eight. I want to fucking die now.

If it comes down to it, shave it all off and grow a beard. That look is FIRE

I just had a bunch of tabs open on my browser (Google Chrome), then the browser randomly crashed. I tried to click the "restore tabs" option when I started Chrome up again, but it didn't go through.

The same thing happened to me again last night. Sigh...

Haven't slept a wink last night because I was too damn stressed and panicking. Fuck genetics.

Having gone through the same thing at a similar age, it's really not that bad. Please don't go around saying you want to die over something like that. A lot of men go through it.

No shame in losing hair, it’s a totally normal thing that happens to many men. Just own it, and don’t do something silly like constantly wear a hat to disguise it.

Buddy, one of my closest friends is losing hair and is still doing really well. It's no real issue to go bald, lots of men go through with it. Please don't have such negative feelings about it.

My hairline is slowly migrating north, and two of my brothers are probably going to be in the same boat. It happens. *shrug* In my case, I keep my hair buzzed short anyway, so losing it won't be much of a difference. I can definitely see how it would suck for someone who cares about their hair, though.

Sorry to hear that man

The past month has been exhausting, annoying and depressing.

Work has been so incredibly busy that it caused emotional damage to this one co-worker. She has cried a three times since Christmas Eve and it's very concerning. The amount of stupid customers I deal with weekly makes me question humanity.

My computer has been having trouble sending signal to the monitor again. I've had enough and wanted to use the computer that my brother gave me. The problem, though, is that my brother wanted the computer back to "check on something". That was around two months ago nd he hasn't given it back. I told him that I needed the computer and he said that he'll give to me whenever I go back to his place. Sounds good to me.....and then he got coronavirus. Now I can't go to his place right now to get the computer or even hang out with him. The one time I needed to go to his place and he has COVID. So, I got no working computer and my brother has coronavirus. I swear, fate is just playing with my patience right now. I can't even write this on my phone because I have huge sausage finger that makes it difficult to type on my phone. I have to go to my library just to use their computer to writer this long ass post.

My mom decided to get a German Shepard that she named Axel. I thought this was a bad idea because we already had three cats and I had a feeling something bad was going to happen, and I was right. One of my cats, Romeo, was so scarred of Axel that after he arrived at our house, Romeo got out of the house three times with the intention of running away. On the second attempt in late November, he somehow lost his collar that had my mom's phone number on it so that anyone who found him would report him to my mom. How that collar came off him is unknown and it's so confusing to me that it's pretty frustrating. With no collar, I had to make sure that Romeo doesn't go out again....and he did. He managed to pull down one of the window by himself when there was no screen and got out. This time, he made sure that my mom wouldn't find him again. A couple of days after he ran away, my mom found him by one of the neighbor's house. She and the neighbor tried to catch him, but with no luck. Then, my mom got a trap and put food in, but that, unfortunately, didn't work. This is most likely because when my mom brought Axel to the house, Romeo no longer saw my mom as his owner, but instead as a crazy old lady with a monstrous dog companion. Not only was Romeo scarred of Axel, but he didn't want anything to do with my mom or us at all. At this point, I've lost all hope on Romeo ever coming back and my mom is more upset than I am, but I blame her for this. We already had three cats. We didn't need anymore. Adding a fourth pet was unnecessary, having it be a dog was bad enough, but the dog being a German Shepard is even worse. I don't blame Axel because he didn't do anything wrong, nor do I blame Romeo because it wasn't his fault that he is scarred of a dog four times bigger than he is, I blame my mom for staring the fire. I knew something like this was going to happen, which is why I wasn't excited when she said that we were getting a German Shepard. So, a cat that we had for a year and a half has runaway, our home is no longer peaceful and our lives have become so much more chaotic because my mom has become an overemotional baggage who hasn't moved on from the deaths of our dog, Chewie, our cat, Brandy, and my brother's dog, Loki, all three that died last year, and though that bringing a new dog in our lives will make us happier, when it actually did the opposite. I swear, ever since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, my mom hasn't been the same, and after the death of our previous pets, she REALLY hasn't been the same.

So, yeah, the past month has not been kind to me or my family.

Thought I was on a new path but am still the same broken person. Incapable of being loved. Self loathing. Just not doing well. Have to keep marching forward, right?

[LSD Jellyfish]

Pretty much. The only way you really lose in life is if you give up entirely.

I'm rooting for you man. For what it's worth, once you hit rock bottom the only way to go is up.

Many people are their own harshest critic. Get a second opinion from someone you respect.

Same thing also happened to me at 28. Decided to embrace it and just wear my hair short.

Damn dude, sorry that happened to you. In times like that its important to have a personal circle, or at least some kind of outlet. Hope you can at least that, and I hope things get better for you next year.

I try not to be so dramatic to say that something "ruined my day," but I'm disappointed to see a very long-tenured member here was chased off because of a misunderstanding not terribly long ago. It's a disappointing thing to see misinterpretation; it's really one of the greatest enemies to our mental and spiritual wellbeing.

Edit: I'm too used to Discord, being able to rapid fire posts instead of getting all my thoughts in on one - but many a relationship in my own life has been ruined by such misunderstandings. It's easy to see something or hear something from someone and have an instant reaction. We as people need to slow down, breathe, and not jump to the first thing we think. We're given the ability to do so for a reason. It can be a difficult thing to do though. Even growing older and realizing all this, I still find I'm enslaved to gut feelings.

Being able to forgive and forget is something, sadly, that is difficult to do
