How do you add some chaos in your life?

Whenever I go to a food store, I'm always being difficult by asking "what's the least popular dish here?"

Everytime I make a new best friend I end up being difficult and driving them away.

Hi-five, comrade in lacking in best friends! Lol.

I must ask though, what did you do?

EliptomanicENFP•

What did I not do?

The most recent; I manipulated them by guilt tripping and was super possessive. I'd get upset over the smallest things I normally wouldn't. It was like them being my best friend meant that they had to put me first in all situations.

WrunnabeOPENFP•

Aight, I'm not gonna console you for that.

You've done something you feel terrible about, so reflect on it, and be mindful of it next time. You don't need to change all at once, being the way you are isn't a crime, just that it's not effective making you less lonely. And if it isn't working, you change it.

Saying as someone who still somewhat close to a clingy as hell, game playing girl.

I do feel terrible.

Sometimes things get so tough I find myself being mean to those closest to me. Thanks for the advice though!

Trying to be better everyday.

I create chaos in my own life by spiralling into the abyss of existential crisis and self doubt.

Sounds to me that not doing anything will get you into chaos.

Especially fitness. You over complicate that alot, then not do it at the end of the day, or break your pattern after a week. Come back and ask more advice, making it more complicated. Negative feedback loop repeats.

Hey, Wrunnabe, just a quick heads-up:
alot is actually spelled a lot. You can remember it by it is one lot, 'a lot'.
Have a nice day!

When someone bumps into me and says, “Sorry,” I answer back, “You better be.” and smile.  

If I trip and someone says, “Whoa, Be careful,” Me, “You can’t tell me what to do. You’re not my parole officer.”  

Refer to the cashier at a fast food place as “Burger Lord” Extra points if I do this at Taco Bell.  

Randomly wave at strangers from the car as if you know them.  

Say, “I need some alone time.” And crawl under the table. (I’ve done this too many times at work, they just accept it now…)  

If I am cranky I’ll make a scowling face casually knock something over like an empty cup or a piece of paper. If someone puts it back upright I immediately knock it over again without saying anything.

Edit: meant to say- If "I" trip...

Lol you're weird, I love it!

Edit: except the "you better be" one.

But people love that one! Its so out of the ordinary and the way I do it they know there is no malice about it. If its a friend they know I'm goofing off. If its a stranger the fact that I don't give the usual response but instead share a joke with them makes their day.

2
WrunnabeOPENFP•

Oh if it's with friends, yeah.

I just imagine the stranger doing that and I didn't like it at all lol.

That's just horrible - all if it =(

You are looking at it the wrong way. The trick is to make it a shared joke. Not a single one of these have been taken bad. Its hard to explain in text but everything is done in good humor and usually end with laughter. (Except if I use the joke too much and my friends just smile and shake their heads.)

Once I did Burger Lord at this one place one too many times and the guy joked that I needed to bow before he would take my order.

1

Burger lord is hilarious. Do they ever look offended?

2
Mable-Syrup•

Never. They usually crack up or try not to laugh. The trick is to do it in a dramatic funny voice. Once at Taco Bell the poor girl just said, “We don’t serve burgers here.” Me, “My apologies. Taco Tyrant!” She Burst out laughing so hard they heard her in the back.

you are amazing, teach me your ways master

Mable-Syrup•

Use the monotony of life as a templet. You know how the conversation is going to go so you can prepare by making witty responses ahead of time. Don’t hate small talk. Dominate it!

The hard part is knowing the appropriate time to use these jokes. Ask that little voice of fear deep down inside, “Is this a good idea?” Then do it anyways on account that you want to.

First practice by telling yourself stupid jokes and laughing manically at your own stupid jokes. Then work up by using them on friends. Once you have this confidence you can move up to strangers. The goal is to make the ordinary into something memorable.

I do something similar to this, on occasion: When someone says "Excuse me." I'll put on a serious tone and expression and say, "There is no excuse." Then I remain serious for about a second and then laugh.

I don't know you, but I love you.

Ban everyone from pointing at menu items when ordering at foreign restaurants, one must attempt to pronounce said item to order it. I think it's fun

More like how do I even have any order in my life at all? I feel like chaos is practically married to me, but it’s a loving relationship.
