Three times today, I was puttering around in the kitchen, trying to do something nice, and my roommate caught me in the act each time and asked me, "Oh, are you making the potatoes?" "Oh, are you making juice?" "Oh, are you making the freezer pops?" and it just....took all the fun out of it.

Which is weird, and it's all me. Not her.

If she'd seen it three minutes later and gone, "Oh, you did that!" I would have been all like, "Yes, yes I did!" and been happy. But being watched feels like being judged, and I just can't.

I blame my stepmother and some bad bosses, honestly. But my distrust and dislike of being micromanaged is no joke.

I know she's going to see this. And I am sorry. Please do not feel bad....just...maybe, please, make an allowance for me? /hangs head

I think most people have some kind of a problem with that, even if they don't mean to.

You're good people, sweetie.

So is she, so I felt bad

But I appreciate you, JustAnotherUsername !!

She is. But I don't know if anyone likes feeling that they're being watched, even if that's not even what's happening.

What I mean to say is, you're valid to feel uncomfortable by it!

I used to get the same, at least when I was at work. "Oh, you're doing the thing?"... yes. Yes I am. Now go away and let me do the thing and stop standing there watching over me.

... I realise I'm babbling. >.> Sorry. I just wanted to let you know you weren't alone in feeling the way you do.

No, I really appreciate it! I really do!

You're a sweetheart. And so is roomie. And you both need to share your freezer pops!

... so long as they're as yummy as they sound.

Ooh, we should find out!

They are! The fizzy soda gives it extra zing

Very yummy. 10/10

Nice. I now want some lol

Mix frozen Raspberry Lemonade concentrate with diet lemon lime soda, freeze it

Ohh that easy? I'll give that a try!
