it is as if all i ever do is organising lifts to and fro. and like. no one ever just says “yes i can do that” or “no i cant do that sorry” they just talk around my request. like i need to get home, hello? i cannot drive i do not own a car nor a licence to my name. do you expect me to just float around like this forever. oh I’m sure someone else will deal with it don’t worry. i asked for help for a reason it was not a meaningless query. so i will just message like 5 people, everytime i need to get anywhere, like two or three times a week, forever. totally not extremely stressful for me or anything. not like it makes my life feel like a disorganised shitshow circus, constantly, or anything. its fine! i love doing this!
