    My wife of seven years divorced me for my (former) best friend after having an affair with him for a few months. And the entire social circle supported their actions so I was left alone and without any friends.

    So, one of the shittiest years of my life.

    However, I then found a whole crowd of neurodivergent people, and I am able to unmask fully and be accepted and loved for who I am for the first time in my life.

    So, one of the best years of my life too.

    I am very emotionally confused this year.

        “That’s between you guys.” - general response

        So people wanted to avoid drama, but by taking that stance they sided by default.

        And yeah, I’m in a much better place. Thanks for your kind words. I still struggle with the trauma of the whole thing, and probably will for a while, but I have much better people in my life and I’m reading philosophy and theory on love and self-love. It’s helping for future relationships.

        No, no, like the career field of business as a whole sucks. I’m in a finance, doing budgeting bullshit, and…I want to do something else. But I still have at least 3 years left, so…I’m plotting on a career transition shortly thereafter.

    The Year when people learn the word “Global Inequality” …

    It’s not just shitty to live in US; It’s shitty to live anywhere now.

    Thanks Global Corporations and thanks Governments for doing absolutely nothing about the Global Elite/ global monopolies… Oh and thank You Religions; You also suck balls.

    Pretty good for me on a personal and professional level, but pretty shitty in the general world sense. We had a referendum in my country about including Indigenous Australians into our constitution. It failed to pass and was just a shitty few months overall, especially for our first nations people. The level of income and wealth inequality feels like it nosedived in the wrong direction. The ‘K shaped recovery’ from covid is now very apparent. And the climate crises is getting worse, one of the scariest images I saw this year was the Antarctic sea ice graph.
