16. Anxiety

Mon Sep 8, 2025, 06:25 PM

Sep 2025

only happens to me when I go out. Out to get an oil change. Out to do grocery pickup, Out to dinner. Etc...

My anxiety always goes up a notch when I run into toopid people. And believe me, they're everywhere. Especially the ones behind the wheel who think they are kings of the road. Every day I go out I run into at least 1 of them. Once you're outside your car, another realm of toopid people arise. It's insane how many idiots I see on a daily basis.
