This isn't affecting my eating disorder or general self-esteem, but I'm wondering if anyone shares this problem.
In Seattle, we're having our annual Seafair festival. Personally, I hate these kinds of celebrations. Hundreds of thousands of people suddenly show up, make tons of noise and traffic congestion, and take up the space where actual Seattle residents need to stand and sit and drive.
But the worst thing is The Blue Angels. What is the point of this? These fighter jets are beyond noisy. You can't even hear your tv or conversations with friends. I think there's even a point where they go so fast and loud, they break the sound barrier. So I'm crabby, my ears are ringing and I can't close my windows because it's in the 90s here.
It happens once a year and I really just wish I could blast off the planet while they're here. I don't know what the attraction of ear-splitting, booming noise is, not to mention the flagrant waste of precious fossil fuel. If you want to watch them, It's hard to find a spot, and getting to the spot, parking or bussing, is a huge hassle.
I guess I'm just venting, but man, it's so hot here and those jets actually come really close to my airspace around my apartment building, making my windows rattle.. I'm not a joiner and don't flock to huge public events. I am agoraphobic and have actually had to leave events, even when accompanied by friends, because the disruption feels so chaotic and dangerous.
Anyone else feel bugged about stuff like this? What do you advise?
