33 comments

1. Feeling a pimple brewing

2. Rudeness from anyone

3. Being ignored..

4. A sentence from a doctor

5. Unexpected joint pain 😩

6. Being gender stereotyped.

7. Breaking my goddamn nail I’ve been growing out for a month. I’ll get over it, but god fucking dammit.

8. A sick child of mine.

9. Dropping a bottle of wine in the street unloading groceries 😢

10. A year ago I would have had a hundred answers: spilled coffee, traffic, annoying/rude people. But I am so happy and proud to say that after a year of intense weekly therapy, I don’t think any single thing can ruin my day.(besides, obviously…life altering events). I’ve learned to bounce back when inconveniences happen and can compartmentalize issues throughout the day.

11. Anxiety

12. Might sound shallow but not feeling pretty.

13. A man opening his mouth to say anything.

14. Eating/drinking sounds, a neighbour doing loud renovations (I have misophonia)

    Being catcalled

15. Seeing my ex drive past but not having time to give him the finger

16. Cold sore is an instant day ruiner.

17. Recieving attitude for no reason

18. My mom is an expert at ruining my day with one sentence.

    Honorable mention, ptsd memory unrepressing itself. That usually ruins a week.

19. The cold sore tingle.

20. Being interrupted when I’m enjoying my breakfast

21. The Kanye West stuff. Everything about that is profoundly disturbing to me on many levels

22. Not getting a good night sleep

23. Coming out of the shower and realizing there’s no clean underwear 🩲.

24. Vodafone’s customer services, today at least.

25. A random stranger who’s asking me to smile. Fuck off mate.

26. Anyone raising their voice at me

27. Starting my period. All I want to do is lay in bed with a heating pad.

28. Getting your period

29. When my headphones get yanked off my head/out of my ears. There are a couple ways to do that, both are equally rage-inducing.

    Stepping in cat vomit when in my socks.

30. This just happened right now, realizing I have to wait another week for the Love is Blind Finale 😅😅

31. Waking up to 11% after plugging my phone the whole night.

32. Getting a chap on the side of my mouth. NO I’m not frowning.

    I just ate a sandwich or sucked some big dick.

33. Good thing I practice stoicism. What ruins my day could be one of the worst experiences one can imagine. So not breaking a nail, or getting rudeness, or being ignored. Just the message that a family member has died would ruin my day.

    You can shower me with rain, and Ill be grateful that I can feel the rain my skin while others cant.

    You can make me miss my bus, and I’ll be grateful that I can relax at the stop.

    You can break up with me, and Ill be grateful for the great time we had and I’ll move on. There isn’t much anymore that upsets me or bothers me. You become what you set your attention to. You can either curse that your day is shit, or be grateful for what you can expiernce. You can curse at the gods that your Netflix is buffering, or be grateful that you have netflix, a tv and a fridge with food. Its all about how you think about it. I don’t want to sound too philo and dilo, but think about it. It is all subjective. One can go to a party and think it was the best, while the other person think it was the worst. Who’s reality is right or wrong? It all depends on you, and how you set your mind to it.

    So I hope everyone reading this and saying a broken nail can ruin your day, will look at it with a different mindset. Heck, even pewdiepie has made 3 video’s about stoicism. This guy is a multi-millionaire, but trained in a dirty garage.
