I just had a disturbing realization. One of those things where you suddenly understand a situation, but it doesn't make it any better.
Part of the reason I've been completely avoiding a community that I've been a part of for years is because they disregard real issues as "drama," but brew insignificant stuff into actual drama then treat it like it's a worthy issue. All without any self-awareness that the very people bitching about "too much drama" are the ones who are both interfering with important business and later creating a whirl of actual drama over stupid stuff. It's like a Twighlight Zone episode.
Which is making me exhausted, resentful and irritated, to the point that I just don't want anything to do with the community because I don't have the energy for it. Then I feel further resentful that I'm even in that position.
on the positive side, my cat is adorable.
