How Are You Feeling Right Now?

Today I am drinking!
I am not a heavy drinker at all, just some strong beer on friday, less what average person here drinks. I find it therapeutic. Drink beer, eat up some snacks and then shitpost on social media (on a fake account, of course), annoying or amusing random people with my existence to my favorite music. Ahh... The headaches worth it.
Today I got 2 litres of 8% beer. Not going to drink it in one gulp, probably will enjoy it a while. The weather is nice. Had a bike ride. But as always, whenever I seem to have a good day the featherless bipeds tend to ruin it. Not today though. Screw you, most of humanity! Forum users excluded, of course, I like you guys.

Not good, emotionally and physically. I think I have COVID.
I'm pretty certain I had a mild case of it about a fortnight ago. Very uncomfortable, but better now. The emotional drain was as bad as the strange physical symptoms. I hope you take good care, & also have someone to come and check how things are going @Pebble mouse . Drink lots of water

Get well soon.

The laboured breathing was a bit scary, but I feel a bit better already today. Thanks @seabird.
 
There is definetly some strange anger on the background of my emotions now. I despise people outside and I know exactly why - I am envious. Not of their boring lives of herded sheep, but of their abilities in providing for themselves. All my male relatives are blue collar hustlers who make big money and who have arms grow not from their bottoms. Same goes for other men too. Bustling, grinding, getting the dough... I dont' know how do to it all. I grew up without a father and with a mother that had me way too late in life. She just left me alone all day and then came home tired from working. I don't have the skills or socialization to be that bustler and grinder, I am what people call a loser. On all fronts...

I don't think you're a loser. You sound like an intelligent person to me with legitimate gripes. I think it takes time to figure out your place in life. People are always making career changes too. Thanks for sharing your story. *console

No, I don't think you're that at-all! ...especially when you consider all you've laid out here, as per / or reasons (as to) why: no male role-model growing up to model said behaviors after. And to reasonably be expected - to then, "Learn," - them from. . . these, 'skills.' So, it's okay! It's never to late to learn (if that's what you want to do: a job like that; if that is what you desire, just go sign up for one, or ask someone for some help, or a little guidance...) / My guess is that, a lot of those jobs you're talking about -- unless they're actual trades, where one does need some kind of training & or technical schooling & education: such as a carpenter, or an electrician (& even then, sometimes you can sign on & then become someone's apprentice in some situations, so it all just depends; on how you want to go about it~)* Long story longer! Don't compare yourself with others. Just focus on yourself. Because that's all that really matters. Let others think what they want. You can be & do whatever you want to be or do. It's all up to you. And that said, likewise, or consequently--you can also tell yourself consciously (which will have its way of seeping over in to the "un," or 'sub') that you cannot do these things. And you will likely be right on all fronts or accounts as well. If that/or those kinds of jobs are just simply not for you. Then try to find something with which your skills & talents match or pair up a little bit better for, or with. And in the absence of that - then ones in which are not so seemingly incredibly averse. Best regards!

Sorry I didn't finish my thought. My guess is, because I have never done them my-self. But those that involve manual labor. Well, a lot of it is just simply "mental toughness." And the inability, or unwillingness, 'to-quit.' Take care @corneredrat ~
