Facebook has a knack for making me feel like I’m failing at everything. With each scroll through my feed, I’m hit with reminders of my shortcomings—whether it’s the little things or the bigger life choices. It seems like every post screams, “You’re not doing anything right, and the Internet knows it!” This once-haven of distraction has turned into a harsh critic.
Struggles in the Kitchen
Not only am I butchering basic cooking tasks, I’m apparently messing up my eating habits too. Eating used to be a pleasure, but now it feels like a minefield of potential missteps. Let’s talk about the basics—fruits and vegetables. Apparently, I’m cutting pineapple and watermelon wrong, which means I’m eating them wrong too. And forget about peeling oranges and bananas; the correct technique is to peel from the bottom like a monkey, ignoring that tempting stem at the top.
Eggs are another area where I’m failing. Whether scrambling or boiling, I’m apparently getting it all wrong, including peeling the boiled eggs (is that really that hard?). And it doesn’t stop there—onions, cherry tomatoes, kiwis? Wrong, wrong, wrong. Whatever I’m doing, it’s not right, and I should feel terrible about it.
The Cake Dilemma
Even cake, a supposed source of joy, has come under scrutiny. The latest cake-cutting advice suggests slicing the middle and pressing the sides together with bare hands, a method that overlooks the critical role of frosting. My cake-sharing habits are decidedly more traditional, and frankly, I prefer it that way.
Beyond Food: Mispronunciations and Negotiations
My egotistical bruises don’t end with food; I’m also apparently mispronouncing Sriracha and fumbling through negotiations. It’s exhausting to keep up with all these “corrections” on my life, and honestly, I just wish these articles would ease up on the criticism. Instead of pointing out what I’m doing wrong, how about offering some gentle guidance on how to improve? Or better yet, suggest ways to make these tasks enjoyable, like a friendly tutorial.
