nothing will make you a nihilst quicker or more efficently than working retail. (EXCEPT HOSPITALITY!! love to you all x)
i stg some of the people that came into the shop i was working at had been sent from the depths of hell just to test me. people who don't have anyone to bully at home will go out shopping and take it out on retail workers.
also i realised that so many people go out, buy shit, go home and then return it the next day like it's a sport of some kind???????? ma'am. therapy.

I get so torn between not wasting any energy on them and me taking my frustrations back out on them

ok first of all i get it- it’s awful.
honestly, i think of my work day like my own version of a "papas pizzeria" in which the pizzas are customers unfolding my perfect piles of clothing, you know?

if you truly mean just your girlfriend, the great thing about wondering things about your girlfriend is that you can ask her directly. strangers on the internet will probably not provide useful answers specific to your girlfriend
more generally, i think there are a few common reasons people go shopping/hang out in stores - most areas nowadays lack third spaces (article about this here), consumerism due to the internet/influencers and/or escapism (which i think “retail therapy” does fall under). the ways in which this might apply more to women are, i think, in how we are socialized to see shopping as a feminized and important/rewarding activity, from ads about clothes/makeup to toys that recreate grocery shopping. and then there’s the relationship of buying things and the idea of achieving specific beauty and body ideals; the pressure to conform to norms and look a certain way no matter the price. but just “hanging out in Target” (compared to spending a lot of money there) is probably not that deep.

there is certain type of extrovert that seems to believe that if you are introverted or shy you haven't reached your full potential, like you're only a half-baked pie, waiting for someone to come "pull you out of your shell" (-_-)...
i am not a flower waiting to bloom! i am not an unfinished garment! THIS IS THE DEAL! take it or leave it, don't try to shape things you don't understand into something you do.
no one owes you their bared soul.

Nothing fills me with dread quite like the cry of "Let's play a game!" at any social gathering. Icy hatred drips down my spine at the mention of them.
The yelling, the looking at me, the boredom, the rules I can't remember, the endlessness of each round, the heightened emotions... WHY CAN'T WE JUST TALK?! ESPECIALLY in a social gathering where I don't really know many people.
I have seen people I love be transformed and distorted by their competitiveness into hateful screeching banshees. It's terrying. Maybe I'm too sensitive, I don't care. I don't have a competitive bone in my body. I genuinely do not understand how a board game is an acceptable space to yell at people. Being yelled at over something that couldn't possible matter less is WORSE than being yelled at for a proper reason.
The worst kind of board games are the ones that involve performing. They make me want to jump out of the nearest window.
I'd rather someone brought out a crack pipe than a board game at a party.
