Fucking... bleh.
Morning started rough, partner late for work, snapped at me for saying "freaking out about it will just waste more time" to try to help keep them calm.

Why do I keep making this mistake? I say it because it would help ME to hear it, but it's always just bullshit to them. I tried to back out of the looming argument, but that was just my point being unable to stand scrutiny?... guh.

I'd wanted to get stuff done today. Chores half done, art sketched but I dunno.... not liking it at all as it stands.

Kinda want to built the gunpla that a friend sent me for christmas. But work and chores need doing. Conflicted. Mental state, not great.

Wondering why I bother to try to help, every time I do just seems to make things worse.

@Draekos I am familiar with these feelings. Mentally modelling other people's internal states (even if you know them really well), and how they will react to specific things, is Hard, and so is not getting defensive when they trigger your Being Attacked feelings. :-/

(...speaking for myself, anyway.)

@Draekos Much same. Didn't get squat done after frustrating morning surprises.

@jaycie I hate how the first like, hour of the day sets the tempo for the rest of it
