Exactly. Nobody has EVER proved that he was the odd one out, as your bolded words indicate.

Why is it that, when dancing the hora by weddings, bar mitzvahs, etc. I always seem to end up between two shmoes who each decide to do the steps at their own pace- both of which are off from the song AND the rest of the circle? Not only that, (just like in traffic) whenever I go to either another circle, or even the same circle just a different place, those shmoes suddenly find it within them to hora properly, and then my new “buddies” are the new shmoes?????

Chaver, have you ever considered the possibility that you're the shmoe...?

Until now, no. I’ve never considered that possibility. And it shall remain like that.

But, dear Chaver, GYE is all about taking the blame even when there's no proof. Nay, especially when there's no proof. When all else fails, it can be traced to your lust.

Edit:
Now, this was a thinly veiled grouch.

Having personally danced next to Tzitzis Dude yesterday, I can confirm he was doing the kazatzka like the shpoler zeida! 
Perfect steps.

Oh, yes. Those legs were flying and the socks were showing. Oof. I’m still sore. Makes me think I should do it more often. 

I will say, though, (not to brag [which always means that a brag is coming]), but when I got to the wedding of my friend (different event than where the kazatzka went down), it was mid-2nd dance and the slow 2-step was happening. Yours truly got in there and painfully joined in. However, when the chosson pulled me in, I did the hora with him, and guess what? The rest of the oilam joined along.

Rain rain and more rain, I know it's a bracha but sure makes it hard to say mashiv haruach when all I can think about is my soaked socks

Snow, snow, and more snow.
Steady 5 degrees out there so that the very ice is doubly frozen.
The car is crummy and filthy with whatever combination of snow and anti-snow chemicals.
The wiper fluid is frozen, so I can't see out. My attempt at cleaning the windshield ended with frozen Windex on it.
My fingers are chapped and my whole body is dry and itchy, and where the heck is that draft coming from?!

Could be that drafts coming from the open doors of the 3 bus I'm on where you're welcome to join me but you'll have to stand cuz the seats are soaked by all the kids who stand on them mistaking the bus for a rollercoaster, and you'll have to mind the soaked umbrellas attacking you from all directions while you get a headache from that one chalmi who's having a screaming match/ private Business meeting, all while patiently waiting to daven by the kosel for this mabul to finally end.

102 little things gone wrong today. Little things.

Life, save it for Monday please. It's too late in the week for this. 
Today is yesterday's tomorrow.
The yetzarim a person has the most trouble dealing with are his most powerful God-given tools for developing his potential and achieving shleimus.
It doesn't matter how big the number is, only that today it is going up by one.

Please feel free to reach out. I'd appreciate connecting with you (via GYE, email, or phone - whatever floats your boat)

Here comes a real grouch, people, buckle the heck up. Gosh Darn it, to heck!

Im frustrated that im still unable to be a normal person. I dont have friends, my nervous system is still way dysregulated. My job is too stressfull but leaving it would be even more. 
Im not close with my family, we rarely talk. My parents never understood me. we talk but they dont really know me. they dont know what healthy emotions are. 
I dont have any friends. Never did. 

There is a big shabbos this week, people i associate with are going. IM NOT, I thought im chickening out because its too expensive and i was angry that i cant afford it, But then i realized that its because i dont want to feel bad there. There will be a lot of heavy drushes about remembering all of shas, lots of demands that im afraid will make me feel like a loser and incapable. So im not going. Im still a loser. 

I was very triggered yesterday by 2 things online, one was on GYE. I didnt think it was so bad untill i had a wet dream, my first in many months! Now im way more aroused, thank you! 

Can someone please show me where to get some sour grapes?
