My life feels like a movie where I have no control over what happens.

For example, I was arguing with my friend about whether he could cook hard-boiled eggs in the microwave. For those who don’t know, eggs explode in the microwave. I saw no way to get out of this situation. If we continued to argue, we would be late, and if I let him cook, the egg would explode and we would waste time cleaning the microwave. I gave the most logical solution and said, “Okay, you can cook the egg, but you will clean it after it explodes.” I knew how much time it would take to cook the egg and clean the microwave, but I didn’t know how long we would argue. In my mind, I saw him agreeing, the egg exploding, and him forgetting to clean the microwave, leaving me to do it. And that’s exactly what happened.

And those types of situations happen very often. I just know exactly what is going to happen and don’t see a way to make it better.
