Lately, When I express my genuine thoughts and concerns, it feels like a form of punishment.

This happens both at work, in meetings where input is supposedly valued, and in my personal life. My attempts to voice a concern or a different perspective are often dismissed as pessimism, exaggeration, or even egomania. It seems I am being penalized simply for having an opinion and for caring enough to be concerned.

Increasingly, I feel that I am being passively silenced—not with a direct command, but with subtle cues and reactions that make thinking feel like a forbidden act. I am being reduced to a sounding board, a wall for others to shout at, with no expectation of a reciprocal conversation. My role is not to contribute, but to absorb.

And then, people wonder. They wonder why I am burning out, why my energy and creativity have evaporated, why my motivation has dwindled to nothing. They don't see the cumulative weight of being silenced.
I notice that the situation is gradually affecting my body. I currently only sleep with a tight chest and painful breathing, and I wake up in the middle of the night with my heart racing.

So I got talked to at work again,today. Because I said some stuff about my neighbors dog as well as a black metal artist I enjoy listening to,so i guss I can't even have freedom of speech at my own job.....sad. Might be switching departments but that probably won't help....have to see what happens,the first time was even more dumb...it was over the fact I had a colonoscopy appointment and people are asking about it,I kept on saying surgery because I get confused and info mixed up sometimes. So when I mentioned the correct reason I was met with extreme immature reactions,we'll see how much longer I'm at the Front End before switching departments.

This is an example of not jumping to conclusions based on knee jerk reactions. Before coming up with an answer, other possible reasons must be examined.

I went to my chiropractor per usual yesterday, i ended up 'scaring' one of there staff members who saw my die ghost shirt that has a happy smiling skeleton on a skeleton horse. like the most non-scary shirt i own...yeah..so next time i'm going to wear a totally just crazy one and see if i get a different reaction....people are so weird.

So this news story is doing the rounds; shocking I know the BBC picked it up. I think its fake - I think it is manufactured to get a reaction. Either the family did this to get a reaction to draw attention to themselves or the BBC have done this with the aid of the family to appear more 'balanced'. Recently the BBC has been running scared due to Reform Party and its viewers; if the reform were to get in it would be possible for them to remove the lience fee from the books; and since most Reform voters feel the BBC is against them. The BBC is worried if was open to public the public would decided enough is enough so they have found a Minuscule amount of patriotism to appeal to the reform crowd. Of couse I have no evidence just a feeling but the BBC is no stranger to manufacturing headlines.

I am 6'2'', 175 pounds, working out (swimming, weights, Aikido, MMA), aged 53 (bday today) and my ugly fat female cousin told me that I gained weight which I shouldn't, as she persisted. My reaction towards this ugly fuck:

So, a former coworker is fishing for sympathy on social media, because April was " one of the worst months of his life." Why? Well, he had to have one of his cats put down...I get that, he had that cat for about 13 years, and while I don't care for cats much myself, he does and after having it so long that must have been rough. But he is just as heart broken, if not more so, because his PS5 broke the same month. I'd expect that reaction if he were a kid, or even a teenager, but this guy's in his late 30s. Wtf.
