Things that make me uncomfortable
After S. Lindsay
The smell of foul liquor blatantly leaving one’s mouth./
Being called 'sir'/
Gray haired men with their phallus shaped spandex./
The word 'gastronomy'./
Compliments. How can one receive praise AND keep their composure?/
The fact that elevators fail to establish a 'first come, first served' policy./
Public restrooms with no stalls. You know, the ones that pretend to be an intimate quarter where peaceful relief is a top priority… until a stranger lay their hand on the lever and interrupt your flow, disturbing any sense of so-called privacy, all because investing 50 bucks in an OCCUPIED deadbolt would have been oh so ridiculous?/
Having to communicate and share feelings. Your feelings, their feelings, my feelings… feelings make me uncomfortable.

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

Humorous inspiration with a list that makes sooo much total sense to me that now I want to compose my own.
Congratulations on your top story.
I can honestly say that none of these things make me feel uncomfortable interestingly enough, but I could make a list of other things likely.
Your stat is challenging your story is so beautiful you write like this you will be a great writer I wish and yes one more thing please open my vocal id and a story come later

All on my plate, too!
🤣🤣 This is so great - I’m with ya!! I’m reading this on a plane and giggling so hard I could barely get up for the seat mate to get out!
Congrats on your Top Story! I am going to share it in our Facebook group Queer Vocal Voices!
I'm with you on these...they all give me feelings.
Yes! Especially the elevator thing. I've walked away and taken the stairs because of pushy people. Congrats on the TS.
Funny! Elevators first-come first-served policy! They need to have a meeting about that and get it sorted.
Those things make me uncomfortable too lol 😱
